1. Absolutely beautiful . Great images of eternal spring.

   Best wishes, Aquileana 🙂

   • Ah. my pleasure

2. They look like an Amish couple to me. Once while on a vacation I grabbed the wrong arm… that of an Amish tourist. He became quiet flustered. I look very carefully especially in crowds now for searching for my own love’s arm…. 🙂

   • Ha, they are actually Mennotnite… but I guess the reaction would be similare

     • Ah so close. The Mennonites did come first. Then the Amish, who are much stricter. One would have thought it the other way round, but not so in this case.

       Just one of several similar explanations.

3. I really like this Bjorn, I have not tried Tan Renga squared yet.

   • It gives you a possibility to get into progression of a story..

4. Hi Bjorn, love your recent pieces – especially this one. I do think this form is a great vehicle for both your talents and sensibilities. Sparkly stuff… With Best Wishes Scott

   • Thank you Scott.. it was a nice way to try to evolve in tan renga style… I will do more like that… each stanza change a viewpoint slightly.

5. Wow, this is just lovely. I love what you did with my haiku!

6. You’ve transformed the haiku by Cathy into a wonderful poem Bjorn. This is stunning.

7. Reblogged this on thesewordsiwrite2012 and commented:
   Björn Rudbergs is a writer I follow regularly on WordPress. His haikus and tankas are quite wonderful.

8. Lovely poem, Bjorn. That does look like an Amish couple.

   • Definitely … Or Mennonite … So many of these folks here in Peeay. So strange to find them blogged here! 🙂

     • I think they are Mennonite…

     • That sounds about right.

9. A beautiful poem Bjorn — especially the last two lines. Kristjaan is right – stunning!
