Renga poems were typically composed during gatherings of poets but could also be composed by single poets. The linked poems had a seasonal word (kigo) and a dash (kireji). Each renga verse only relates to its immediate neighbors, the one before and the one after. The most important rule of linking was that links could only exist between two adjacent verses, i.e. a verse could not be connected with any verses aside from the one it was being linked to. if you want to read more about renga click here Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CRANES AND HERONS: Cranes =Are social birds and can be seen in pairs or groups. They form large flocks, especially during migration, but are territorial during the breeding season =Have striking plumage with shades of gray, white, and hints of red on their heads. They have smaller beaks =They engage in complex mating dances involving wing flapping and vocalizations. They are known for their lifelong pairing bonds. =have long legs and shorter beaks. =Cranes defend their nesting sites aggressively, HERON =Are typically solitary hunters but can form colonies for breeding. Their mating displays are less elaborate than cranes but involve calls and neck stretching. =Herons can become protective of their chosen nesting trees. =Have dagger-like beaks slender bodies =Have more muted colors, often gray, blue, or white. The Great Blue Heron has blue-gray feathers. Despite these differences, both species thrive in wetland habitats and are territorial during the breeding season.
