Poetic Parallels
two sijo
Take note of the resemblance between maple seeds and tadpoles?
Ideas spin round like maple seeds seeking a spot to sprout;
our minds are small ponds where agile tadpoles (like thoughts) mature.
Takes about fourteen weeks, but polliwogs will become frogs;
"Helicopters" become trees after many, many years
but ideas become poems, sometimes within minutes.
