Renga-kai went well

The renga-kai led by Gerald Staggers on Sat. 8/26/06 at Shokado Garden in Yawata city went well. Mari K., Keiko Y., Jerry G., John M., and Jane W. attended. A hot day but a very lovely garden, filled with insect voices, colorful carp, butterflies, variety after variety of bamboos and camellia… with old tea houses, here and there and a magical water harp (suikinkutsu). Under Gerald’s guidance we attempted to do a linked verse- in an air-conditioned room overlooking the garden. How far did we get? Gerald will let us all know! Thanks very much to Gerald. (jw 8/28/06)
