Wonderful poem … and interesting to compare the two images; for my own feet, I’d choose the setting here on your site.
Speaking of images … is there a story (poem?) for the “weeds big in Texas” image on “Postcards and Poems” page? We’ve been bringing plants in, bracing for the freeze, some (all “Texas”) pretty darned big.
Thanks, Jazz. Regarding the images on the Postcard Poems page, they requested something quirky, so I complied to the best of my ability. The “weed” is an agave plant that I’d dug out with my tractor. If you run a search on this site for “agave,” you’ll find a poem titled “Agave.” Of course it’s not about the pictured agave, or any agave in particular.
Man, you are REALLY getting your work out there. There is a hunger for iOkaji-centric poetry, and you are filling the chanko nabe pot with all sorts of tasty tidbits!! γγγγ£γ Okaji-Sensei!!
Great! Rejections = opportunities to grow and learn… so I hope you get rejected so many times you win three Pulitzer Prizes for the lessons you learned from those rejections, and the resulting poems that followed!
idiots fail 5 times and quit… geniuses fail 5000 times… then fail another 10,000 times… then change the world.
Glad to hear it, Bob!

Thanks, Daniel. I’ve received quite a few rejections lately, so I’ll need to send those pieces back out into the world. They come, they go…
