Scattering The Seeds (Poetry)
31st January 2025
It’s a random thing —
this wide casting of
odd ideas — tiny
encapsulations
grown so personal
Thrown as far away
as the high winds of
imagination
could ever take them
landing who-knows-where ...
Echoing Nature’s
wild impulse to spread
thoughtful greenery
into each corner
the better for it
All is left to chance
a blindfold journey
given no compass
and no guarantee
of safe arrival
Some words wing skywards
and sing from treetops
flourish for all time
others sacrificed
fall on stony ground
this wide casting of
odd ideas — tiny
encapsulations
grown so personal
Thrown as far away
as the high winds of
imagination
could ever take them

thoughtful greenery

All is left to chance
