Vincent, or: Theo
A Sijo
EPIGRAPH:
You don’t know how paralyzing it is, that stare from a blank canvas that says to the painter you can’t do anything.
–Vincent van Gogh (1853 – 1890)the life we painted—over; blank linen upon my easel; this choice feels almost sacred; one false first stroke would skew my course; still, memory steadies my hand; old lessons guide the brush I raise
Sijo?
A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

The best investment you will ever make is in your own growth.
Too often, we rush self-improvement, expecting transformation overnight. But growth isn't about speed—it's about depth. Growth takes time.
"Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no greater investment." – (Stephen Covey)
Are you giving yourself the space to grow?
