Love's not stretchable
Too wide the gap between us
Frayed feels on both sides

So do we start this off with one 'ku then wait for the next author to finish it? Are titles in play?

Start it off as a collaboration. Two contrastive (or even contraceptive, Jen :-)) haiku.
You may post further entries diirectly one after the other if you like that better.
No more than three entries (collabs), please.

Hello Miss Chi
Question: I have written 7 haiku/senryu in a linked renga. My partner (who I'm waiting to hear from cause I just messaged him if he would be able to join in the fun) would write a 'ku/'ru for each of the seven, and that would make our one collaborative entry of 7 sets of a total of 14 'ku/'ru, but all in one collection. Would you allow our submission if it's structured the way I have explained? And thank you, miss.

Thank you, Jade, for offering a renga which I'm anticipating very much! Yes, please do as you proposed and your partner is very welcome to answer to each of your haiku/senryu :-). Go ahead!

The following is not an entry for the competition, that's further down on another page - this one is going to be considered as an example for people who wish to participate in the fun, so go for it!
Haiku/Senryu Renga: HIT MAN 🔫👤
(a Jade-Pandora & Hepcat61 collaboration)
1
I grab his pistol
rubbing its cold steel into
where it sends me there
(Jade-Pandora)
she knows it’s my way—
hard steel in her waiting hands
glad she likes my gun
(Hepcat61)
2
I wonder if it's
loaded, thrilling even when,
heart, I know better
(Jade-Pandora)
she moves ev'ry part
considering the danger—
heart wants what heart wants
(Hepcat61)
3
bitter and tartness
sweet and savory blending,
joining skin to skin
(Jade-Pandora)
once tasting hot smoke
there's only one true path, sight
body, mind, motion
(Hepcat61)
4
incognito— where
he hides on the run from, and
intensely returns
(Jade-Pandora)
quickly to that room
when to enter and retreat
deep in her hideout
(Hepcat61)
5
what kind of hit man
leaves such evidence around
oozing and unclaimed
(Jade-Pandora)
she’s better at this—
the set-up and the take-down
we’ll need the “cleaner”
(Hepcat61)
6
what lover leaves me
hanging, suspended, waiting
for one digit's worth
(Jade-Pandora)
shots ring in the dark—
don’t wait to see body twitch
always on the run
(Hepcat61)
7
his averted eyes
speak volumes of his nature
leaving fingerprints
(Jade-Pandora)
the crime scene body
I look away but remain—
hope she brought the cuffs
(Hepcat61)

up the room. she don't use soap,
stank skank ass perfume.

mouth wrapped around my bible.
I baptized her thrice.
