the linked verse

A long room with one poem running down the wall, added to a verse at a time by whoever is standing here. It is a renga: linked verse, a Japanese form from the twelfth century in which no poet writes the whole and none may look further back than one verse. Each new verse links to the one directly above it and must not return to anything earlier. The form was invented for people who could remember the beginning and agreed not to. Here it merely describes the conditions. Nothing is measured in this room and nothing is corrected; a verse cannot be wrong. Add one and go. Open to notes and things.
