“Man Sowing Seeds” by Vincent Van Gogh

 

 

word-seeds
sowed in soil
of the mind

never certain
if flower or weed
will emerge

 

 

From my book Onionskin

  11. using the photography analogy: one takes 20 (30, 100) photographs and maybe 1 is worth posting, sometimes the one thought to be the worse of shots. Yet without those 20 (30, 100) shots, that 1 great one would not have been shot. And there is not guarantee that either flower or weed will sprout (or that the weed is more splendid than the flower).

    Splendid poem.
