Our Garden - A GLAG Renga by Nicole Weaver https://padlet.com/nweaver3/rkims4xj077c5lmk Join us in creating a global poem that celebrates the gardens we grow, cultivate and find inspiration in! A Renga is a Japanese-style poem that is created by multiple people. We are going to adapt this style to create a GLAG RENGA. Please tag your location and write a 4 line stanza that shares with us "your garden."

Nature's beauty beyond compare.

Bees buzz to deliver a missing jigsaw of possibilities.
New leaves emerge red to gather the sun’s energy for greener transition.
Birds intermingle and amphibians sing to celebrate Spring.

A big horn far from yielding to the dot, Africa is.
Nevertheless, an apple of the eye that shall keep innovating
From stone way past drone age

They called Milpa. 
Nothing is standardized, but is not beauty find it in the differences?
