An Example of Free Writing
well I'm sitting here at the key board and I really don't know
what to write about it is too chilly in this building today age
after we complained all summe about it being too hot - remind
myself not to correct errors it's second nature to go back and
change mistales mabee i should have written this example in long
hand but then i 'd have to translate my hadnwriting I don't know
how to wirt ehte link for the Shiki list renga I want ot
constribute a link if I can I saw a bumblebee in sweet pea
blossoms this morning and i think that would work bery well as an
image but i havent got it worked out well i don't know how the
bee relates to the blossoms is he hiding in them? is he . . .
is he . . . is he . . . making a home there, no of course not
bees don't live in blossoms and he's not hiding either I cont'
thins bees hide what do yu thing? (i'm aware I, m going to post
hthis and aware someone may read it which causes some
inihinbition I couldn't rfind another aexample earier my typing
isn't always this bads excuses excuses but freedom too mabeb my
bee link can can can canc can canc what ? include refenerce to
alley where we were aw=walking the dof? i mean dog of course he
was buried stuck his head in nettles or something some kinf of
weed groins gwo growing in the chain link fense below the sweet
peas so may be I can put the fo dog in the link but it can't be
more than 14 syllables which isn't very much to wirte I guess but
thats renga for you I like the hokku that Dhugal posted
"sparrows/erip aw I can't remember they erupt from trees but I
think Paul Mena says what kind of trees and there's the third
line :"a sudden burst of thunder" and did I remember that write i
mean rite and anyway the bee going INTO the blossoms I think
links nicely with the sparrows coming out of the rte trees and
the thunder with the bee's presumed buzzing although I ididnt
hear anything and maybe that would be something to include in the
link do you think? henh henh henh I rhymed I did and the bees and
the blosssom, ah the birds and the bees and the blossoms and the
supposed old fashioned man to man talk a father had with a son
but I was a farmboy and it's kinda hard to miss what a bull does
to a cow and that's probably enough of that guess I won't spell
chect this file hee ehee hee and what next what comes nesct I
stiull have a minut or ssp these tehrt there awas and idea aobyut
the bee and blossom link there but it's past o yeh the silence
the of the bee, ie "the silence of the bee / in the sweetpea
blossoms? yeh I think that;s it finish this mess and sebd send it
to Dhugal and see how he lings likes it see there, free writing
fdoses pay off I didn't not intend that reslult and it wasn't
planned iethter so that's about it
