Members of the Red Dragonflies were unable to meet in person this quarter, so instead we decided to complete a shisan renku by email where I acted as sabaki. The renku’s title is ‘A Dream of Persimmons’ and was most enjoyable to write. After eight years of writing and discussing haiku together, we found that our rapport was still strong even though we weren’t writing face-to-face.
