Just a word of clarification
I can only say that the rules of Renga can not be strictly applied when writing in English. Japanese has such a completely different sound structure, grammar and even thematic considerations considered appropriate for poetry. So we have simplified it.
Alternate 3 line verses of
5-7-5 syllables like a haiku or senryu
and 2 line verses of
7-7 syllables.
We just ask you read the preceding verses to try to maintain some thematic coherency,
What I've seen so far looks great.

I am still baffled by the lack of writing especially when it is only two or three lines.
Thank you for your clarification on the format I hope others read and join in, Yours Ian.T
