Compost: I Don’t Know

January 5th, 2007

A Compost Post, straight from the weeds of my mind: I don’t know nuthin, I say with a sneer and a grin. I don’t know and don’t blame me, I say while trying to hide, don’t ya know I’m stupid?  I don’t know and don’t care either, I say finally, in an attempt to convince others it’s a waste of time to confront me on what I don’t know. I don’t know, say my children when I ask them what they think they’re doing, even though I don’t know what I’m doing either.  I don’t know what I’m writing but I’m writing anyway because I said I would. I don’t know what good this all is, perhaps none at all because I’ll die anyway and my ignorance won’t matter any more, not that it ever did. I don’t know and wish I did, but perhaps it would spoil the surprise of heaven.

    Greetings Kim,

    I love your compost. This is my first time tuning in. The reason I’ve found you is that I’m a friend of your friends in Cork and they told me a bit about you, especially that you’ve published a Haiku a day for 2006.

    We have haiku-writing in common. My most grandiose effort was to write the Bible in Haiku - still work in progress but there are about 200 so far.

    Cindy gave me a lovely ad for you and I’d like to get in touch with you.

    I’m going to add your blog to mine so that I can read more of your writing.

    With best wishes
    Paul

    Hi Paul and Kim,

    Glad to see you are so ambitious with your haiku!

    Julia Warin from Bradford on Avon sends her regards to you (Paul) by the way! ;-)
