Author's Notes: The brilliant mind of Vocal creator Hannah Moore inspired this Haiku. The Haiku stands on its own but was written to take its place in the Renga.

"Renga is a collaborative progressive poem ... join us! You just need to pick up where the last person left off, following an alternating format of 5,7,5 and then 7,7 syllable counts and linking your stanza to the last." -- Hannah Moore
