I usually stray away from structured poetry but I decided to give renga a try. It what haiku was derived from and consist of repeating syllable patterns of 5-7-5, 7-7, 5-7-5. Well here it goes tell me what you think.

Spring light I’m asleep,
Daydreaming with eyes open,
Imagining life.

Seeing unseen, idealist.
Is realism really real?

Imagery of prime,
To others normality.
Ink blots raised senses.

Beauty of worlds seen in words,
Write them uniquely the same.

Blackberry winter,
Repetitive never same.
Fantasy zealot.

Life is a mere perception,
That’s why I choose to see more.

You just see springtime,
Same blossoms as in the past.
I see a new life.
