2011, ageing, being, doing, emptiness, life, others, publishing, silence, sitting, sower, talking to myself, time, words, writing
time proceeds
when young I wrote
and searched now I am
old and write and sit
have I got anywhere
have I wasted my life
I have not published
not attained success
but on the way I have
touched peoples’ lives
with some words and
spaces not publishing
not recognised is this
not magnificent, the
silent friend, the sower?

being & doing & emptiness & life & sitting & writing wormhole: gazing at the night / as my eyes passed the jagged hole / my head disappeared
others wormhole: not yet quite sure / what
publishing wormhole: “I think I’ll have a nice sandwich”
silence & talking to myself wormhole: sight / seeing
time wormhole: Brugges April 2015 – looking lost
words wormhole: addicted / compulsive / identity

Ah, Mark, you have published…in a way that brings immediacy…yet, I understand the desire for “my words in a book.”

I’ll have you know, young Bonnie, that I have been working on putting together a small collection called ‘Uncannily Green Poems’ compiled in a slightly comicbook format which I am calling my first ‘poemic’; I am aiming to print it myself and sell it locally because I have been asked to read at a local coffee shop and I need some back-up courage; but YOU, Bonnie, were the final nudge to do something about this …

Two lines I really admire:
‘old and write and sit’
and
‘silent friend, the sower?’
they’re unexpected yet simple and thought-provoking.

Never underestimate the power of the seed. And yes, you have published more than most. 😀 I think you should print your chapbook in a way that will let people order it from anywhere in the world. Wink wink nudge nudge

encouraging – but I’ll stay with the seed (print it myself, see how that distributes) until I find out how to do this new-fangled distributing world-wide business malarkey … I have come a long way from the middle of the last century, your ways are strange to me …
