Written for the Carpe Diem Challenge #28: write a Tan Renga.
Tan Renga is a two stanza poem with 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllables (5-7-5-7-7). Unlike a Tanka written by one poet, Tan Renga is written by two. Poet One writes the 5-7-5 and Poet Two completes 7-7.
flight of the eagle

flight of the eagle
stepping into the world of dreams –
a silent cry
mother earth opens her arms
bond of intuition shared

Those are usually the best sort, and yours was best! I gave it a whirl for the first time, too, but I found myself unable to stop at a 7-7, and I added a haiku. Came out of the blue. Oh, well, I’m just quirky through and through. Peace and Joy, Brenda
