the slightly bigger boys
to ‘play out’ and ‘bring your ball’
out on the green
the big green by the main road
now you be careful
and don’t swing on the saplings

A Circle of Fire, a set on Flickr.
A Circle of Fire is a 12 verse Junicho form renga written during the Grow Sheffield Renga Ramble.as part of Sheffield’s festival of reading and writing ‘Off the Shelf’ 2007.
A Circle of Fire was conceived and led by poet / artists Anne - Marie Culhane (host poet) and Paul Conneally (master poet).
A Circle of Fire takes the process of renga (collaborative linked Japanese form) from where it is usually performed in a fixed space to movement through a space (stanzas 1- 6) from Weston Park Museum through Crookes to Sheffield’s urban edge on Crookes Quarry Allotments where the last 6 verse are written.
