Cheering for Sprouts




Seed is used in bounteous ways
So much material given
The word provides the kernel
Of metaphors and similes
The literal is the germ
From which stems truth, shape, color





Another Sijo for Day 14 of NaPoWriMo a-poem-a-day challenge.

Hooray for ipu (gourd) sprouts! At this point they are indistinguishable, but in the foreground is an Hawaii ipu (yes, seed sourced from Hawaii Gourd Society) and in the back a Californian swan neck. Hope they are big enough to go outside soon.
