1 original, poem WRITTEN BY 2 POETS YOU NEED A PARTNER ;)

Form RENGAY 

Rengay is a contemporary six-verse form of linked haiku based on a unifying theme. Written by 2 partners, each link should be able to stand on its own. Derived from renku, but much different, theme development is the key element of rengay. Rengay incorporates the "link and shift" idea of renku, but its brevity makes it easier to read (and publish). Because it is thematic, it is more accessible.
Any form is acceptable.
