You bring up an interesting concept, Martin, with the idea of sowing in relation to depth--too superficially planted, a seed can be too easily carried or washed away; too deep, and it is too long denied the light it requires for nourishment (I'll be getting my coat, soon, if I keep on in this direction).

Somewhat along the same lines, an idea like this comes to mind...

Thanks for stopping by,

Thanks Becky...I found it so difficult to get my mum to mind any of mine..and the guilt when I did ask..so I decided I would try to help as much as possible with my own grandchildren. Spreading it around twenty of them and being fair is the hardest part..but I am just one little woman and I do my best.
By the way they are fairly wild at times so no it most definitely is not your children...?

One of the things I like about your poetry Rachel is that is generally always thought provoking encapsulated in just a few well crafted liens and this is no exception.
I think that we all go about planting seeds where ever we go in relating to others some deeper than others. Even by the fact that we state we don't relate to people in its self means that we have planted a seed or connection. Wow I am getting a bit heavy here sorry.
I'll get my coat

The eternal question life before death. I guess it depends who you ask and where you look. I love the metaphor with dance.

You keep the kids while the parents go to Spain? I have difficulty persuading the mother-in-law to take both of mine at the same time for an hour! (Or does that just say something about my kids...)

You really are wonderwoman. They are soooooo lucky to have you as a mother + grandmother.

... a serious and most excellent image of our country , England, turning into a sewer , while nobody seems to be watching ..... or watching but not raising a fist in defence.

... the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

I'm finding the whole "no metaphors or similes" thing of haiku more tricky than I imagined. But then right now, I'm finding correcting student work and prepping classes more tricky than I imagined.
