It is a Japanese custom to write with a writing brush on the second day of the new year. Join the Haiku Club as we celebrate this custom with a Renga Tree. A Renga Tree is an open form of renga in which anyone may post a response to any previously posted response. The result is a branching "tree" of poems beginning with a single "seed".
Here is a Renga Tree stamp to include in your journal or deviation comments.
Seed
百福の始るふいご始哉
hyakufuku no hajimeru fuigo hajime kana
starting the New Year's luck
first stoke
of the fire

Rules:
- You may post as many responses as you like! This ends up being an endurance challenge of sorts.
- Choose any poem listed below and reply to it with an original deviation of your own. Don't worry if it has already had responses, part of the point is to have multiple replies to each poem.
- The forms used in this event are haiku and senryu.
- Name your work whatever you like.
- Include in your Artist's Comments:
- A clear statement that you want people to reply to your poem.
- A link to our event journal so that others can join in the fun.
- A link to the deviation you are responding to so that others can walk up the tree from yours.
- Leave a comment on the deviation you are responding to so others reading their poem can walk down the tree to yours.
- Submit your deviation to our 2015 Events Gallery

This is just great, Sean. I think it's awesome that so many people got involved. I wish I could have, but January just hasn't been my month. I look forward to the next one though. (There will be a next one, right? There must be after the popularity of this one.) I haven't been able to read very many of the contributions, but I am eager to read through them all as soon as I get the chance.
