Renga are Japanese poems created collaboratively by
two or more poets. Renga are composed using the
tanka for of five lines with the first three resembling
haiku in following a 5-7-5 syllable-per-line count and the fourth and
fifth lines containing seven syllables each.
The first three lines are written by the first poet and the couplet is
then added by the next poet. The couplet must link in some way to the
triad. The next triad, linking to the couplet but not the preceding triad,
is added by the next poet, and so on.
