Stitcher's Rengu
Aug. 4th, 2008 01:56 amAt the 2000 Pytt of Quivera fall event, Conquestador's Folly, one of the competitions was the creation of Haiku and Rengu. I was very fortunate this piece came very easily to me and although it's short I felt I'd really done a good job of it. A few months later friends flattered me by requesting the use of my Rengu for an illustrated scroll for a costumer/friend. Since then the friend has become a Laurel and I'm apprenticing to him at Cattle Raids in a few weeks. So here's the Rengu [the first verse was what I used for the Haiku challenge].
Words, the needles, pins
Words, the needles, pins
To fasten thoughts into deeds,
Pattern life’s fabric.
Gather honor, grasp concepts,
Friendships garnered, stitched down tight.
Though shears cut away,
Put by bits of scraps to trim
Life’s assorted parts.
Nothing should be lost or tossed;
All things of some value prove.
Sort pins and needles.
Set away bent and dull tools.
Work on with the best.
All fibers’ character proves,
Fine or course, to have purpose.
My soul’s garment gains
Comrades weft and partners woof
With every day’s play.

A Haiku has a verse of three lines, each line consisting of 5-7-5 syllables. A Rengu is five or more Haiku with bridging verses of two lines consisting of 7-7 syllables.
1. What is your SCA name? (You don't have to write the full name, just your first name if you want.)

Bonus Question! 21. Everyone has a shameful garb/accessory mistake hidden somewhere in their past. What's yours? (We're all friends here, we promise not to laugh. Much.)
I'm sure I do but I've been oblivious to what it is exactly
