a friend of mine recently introduced me to the renga, a collaborative poem. the first person composes the 5-7-5, then another adds 7-7.
thanks to a slow week at work, my friends and i managed to compose the following masterpieces:
1) i created this one before i realized the poem was supposed to be collaborative:
[my 2 syllable monikered friend]-san gave me
newly composed renga poem
extra two stanzas
haiku amateurs ashamed
hiding under trapper hats
2) this one was done properly:
gawker recent post
what's up with: white converse sneaks?
shame spiral ensued
console myself by saying
they are comfy so suck it.
3) then we stopped here because we surpassed our low expectations:
Ironic beards found
On b-burg dudes' white faces
Super gay not butch
good thing i always wear my
chunky bike chain on the L

Here's my 5-7-5. It is based on an exchange I witnessed in Spanish class the other day. Yeah, I audit class with a bunch of 18-year-olds. What? That's how I roll. Please complete, Blogger E.
Earnest, Cath'lic girl:
"Yeah, St. Mary's! You go there?"
Boy smirks, "Fuck Jesus."
psst, who's that super old dude there
does he habla espagnol?
that first line's 8 syllables, and the "gn" constuction is italian, and most important, the super old dude is the man. do you think he'll buy us beer after class?
hm, i added the "psst" bc i counted incorrectly. consider it omitted and revised:

oh and my bad - gn is also french, which was why i was confused.
