Agree. The live, in-person experience is an end member; an ideal.

I’m open to options: simple & crude & as people can respond on the Masto; & organized live video chat.

I may participate in either or both. A coalition of the willing.

I’ll dip my toes first, maybe host a virtual meeting later.

College students play
volleyball and beer bong
barely clothed

Rituals ancient and new
where the sea meets beach and dune

A man o' war, washed
ashore, venomous but dead
A Laughing Gull smirks

A murder looking on
Territorial battle

  • #Renga #連歌 (linked poetry) consists of poets composing alternating verses of 5–7–5 and 7–7 beats or morae (not syllables).
  • One poet begins with a 5–7–5 verse, followed by another poet’s 7–7 response.
  • Additional poets may then join, continuing the alternating 5–7–5 and 7–7 pattern.

rumors of peace
what I learned
from the dune grass

When seas turn angry, sand dunes
have always brokered peace

Wind whispers
Of hidden things
Buried in the sand

Our footprints on beach sand
only touch the Milky Way

tranquil sunrise walk
a lone angler casts seaward
sanderlings take flight
