I think I started blogging back in January, but only in a very tenuous and pitiful way. <BR/><BR/>Um...am I the alien?

In the class we had to preface them with 'The' so I got things like 'The Yellow Bowl', 'The Slipper', 'The Bolts of Fabric' etc.<BR/><BR/>So for this I thought of blogging and all the people I've met though it and typed in any word that came to mind. I guess the words you come up with depend on your own experience, the kinds of things that stick out for you and your own interests. So even if you had my blog you would come up with different ones. I decided not to use any punctuation and to click 'enter' randomly to make it less controlled.<BR/><BR/>The trick is, I think, to try not to force the words but just let them come to you. <BR/><BR/>I've just come upon this poem by William Carlos Williams which, for some reason, seems to apply:<BR/><BR/>so much depends<BR/>upon<BR/><BR/>a red wheel<BR/>barrow<BR/><BR/>glazed with rain<BR/>water<BR/><BR/>beside the white<BR/>chickens.Eryl Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818102006775827503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-85199203191022645962008-01-23T04:00:00.000+00:002008-01-23T04:00:00.000+00:00I agree with Kim on posting it on the Storyteller'...I agree with Kim on posting it on the Storyteller's blog and I think your mind is incredible.
