Ryenga (alternating Haiku and Tanka)
Carol Cribbet-Bell, Penny Spicer, Sandra Florence, Fran Weissenberg

Silent desert place
Chapel of Fort Lowell People
Alive with stories                                   (Carol)

The chapel's memories Sing loud.           (Fran)
Priest's robes in vestry
Communion, mass, and prayers
Deconsecrated.                                      (Penny and Bill)

My heart opens
To the rain                                             (Sandra)

Warm creosote air
Soft wet drifting up the hill
I am home at last.                                   (Carol)
