Internet as collaborative poem?

Hey!  Just a quick hello and update . . .

Sorry to be sooo negligent of my blog, but I feel a sense of contentment after my discovery of the experimental cinema/narrative cinema, yin/yang, night/day, 360 degree model.  I encourage you to explore and challenge this idea, but fyi, it will be difficult to perfect a perfectly inclusive circle!  :)

I am working on a new video, and I thought that I would share a still.  This one is going to be sooo beautiful!

I expect to be taking a break from my blog, because aboveground I am trying to shake things up a bit.  Ssshh. Who knows, I may be back next week or next month!  In the meantime, I would like to leave you with a question that I hope will intrigue and inspire:

"And the renga itself is a marvelous progression of interrelated images that leap from one setting to another in the sharply disjunctive mode typical of the best linked verse.  From swallows flying south, to a traveler riding a horse through a distant field of flowers, to an argument at a wrestling match, to otters jumping into a river, and on and on to the wild and crazy poet at the end ringing a temple bell at dusk with flowers falling all around him.  Our minds go surfing from the rich panorama of the haibun itself out through this dazzling renga for an exhilarating ride unmatched  by anything to be found on the Internet." 

-- Cor Van Den Heuvel, from the introduction to Basho's Narrow Road: Spring & Autumn Passages.

Oh really?  Basho vs. the internet?  It's like that?  It never occurred to me before now, but I wonder, is the internet, especially the blogosphere, a collaborative poem?
