A second "renray" has been written. The poets and poems appear in this order:
Curtis Dunlap, Aubrie Cox, Susan Nelson Myers, Terri French
The renray needs a title. My good friends and collaborators have agreed to let readers of Tobacco Road suggest a title. The title can be from a stanza in the poem or (and this could make things really interesting) a title that does not reference a stanza in the poem.
So, readers, what title or titles do you suggest for our renray?

easing into the day...
a dab of apple butter
on a biscuit cd
mist settles
into the orchard ac
yesterday's phantoms
cloister
in morning shadows snm
loggia
autumn winds take respite tf
mountain music
grandpa blows into a jug cd
rocking chair creaks
on the porch's
uneven boards ac
a spider tats
another row snm
corn husks tossed
into the campfire
strains of kumbaya tf

Very nice, Curtis and all.
Title suggestion: Tobacco Road, though Michael's are all quite fine.

Pamela A. Babusci via Facebook: i like: "uneven boards"!! that is my vote!!
"Campfire Days" is my suggestion as the fire illuminates the days events. The poem begins with "easing into the day" and ends with "campfire" and song.
Thanks for sharing,
Al
I vote for Morning Shadows. But what's a renray, other than obviously a shorter renku?
Fran Masat in Key West suggest "Fall Gathering" as a title.
wonderful blog, curtis, something i always look forward to!
love the renray . . . .
"blessings"
Stevie Strang suggest "Mountain Music" as a title.
I like the previously suggested "Blue Ridge Harmonies" or "Mountain Music". Also, just plain "Respite", or "Intermezzo".
Annie Hall said via email: I thought a great title for the poem would be, 'Harmony foothills Carolina home'
"Another Row..." was suggested by B via email.
