It is usually written by two or more poets who take turns writing the verses. In classical RENGA, 3-line and 2-line verses are alternated, beginning with a 3-line verse (a hokku, usually approximating 5-7-5 syllables) resembling haiku and indicating a season. A second poet composes the following verse (2 lines approximating 7-7), linking it by one of several methods (not too obviously, please) with the first.

Rhapsodomancy / Eckhoff, Kevin Mepherson., 2010

 Item
Identifier: CC-51342-72431
Scope and Contents

In Rhapsodomancy, Eckhoff remembers Pitman Shorthand and Unifon, a 40 character phonetic alphabet. "Using these two phonic alphabets as image, his poems tease out a relationship between voice and words and visual poetry."
