Rush to Catch the Train
For Hannah Moore's Yūgen - a Community Renga
Wet shoulders fallen
Sloppy shoes untied but now
Rush to catch the train

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

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Oooo, this was amazing! Loved your lines so much!
Wonderful addition, Christy. The ultimate traveler, blues. Rushing to catch a train.
It is a new thing for me, and I found it quite interesting, I will try to learn and add. Thanks for sharing
Great addition! Getting things moving! I hopefully submitted the next two lines off the great launching point you provided
Ohhh...this is taking an interesting route...I like what you did with this. It's like an ever-evolving story.
