1. i think it’s cool if we stay curious and don’t put people in a drawer even after knowing them many years but continue to ask questions… it’s sad when there are secrets though that harm the relationship… ugh

2. i wonder how far relationships go with secrets!! i think its a rather argument-able topic!
   I might have printed this twice… not sure!! sorry for any repetition!

3. and what we hide, will wreck those relationships.
   i might have to do a second just to see how tight i can get.

4. I was wondering why you left the verb ‘fertilize’ as plural rather than singular? Is it intended that ‘Questions fertilize curiosity?’ I rather like that idea. Then again, you could have ‘curiosity-fertilized relationships’. I do wish there was a tense in English that was ambiguous so that you could leave the reader to speculate on intent. It is probable that languages which are cuneiform or symbolic in nature provides greater flexibility that way.

   • you are right.. there is an element of my first language influence.. but I think I will update it to correct english.

     • I think the word arrangement made me think harder about the possible meanings. In poetry, it is often how it is said as much as what words are used that shades the meaning. Your voice is unique, I wouldn’t want to mess with it and make it ordinary.

5. Ah..we go deep here. when you bury it, it risks growing….

6. those secrets usually wreck relationships…

7. What you’ve buried in so few words – excellent.

8. Secrets, I like the mysterious ending ~

9. No, it doesn’t work. Don’t ask… : )

10. This one does it too…and even shorter!

11. Why would you do that? Better to be safe than sorry. 🙂

12. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. 🙂

13. I would guess that secrets are buried with many; but the lips of the dead are forever sealed.

14. Without questions, the relationship would stagnate–and sometimes, it’s best to keep secrets to yourself.

15. Bjorn, That gives a person something to think about. I think though that some things are better left unsaid. Well donel 🙂 —Susan

16. I guess we all have some secrets we bury and best leave them there. Good friends don’t need the secrets revealed.

17. I think we all bury secrets Bjorn, especially the ones we feel embarrassed about.

18. I think we all have secrets…that’s completely normal…but we can’t have those secrets create pain or harm to our loved ones if they are ones that shouldn’t be “buried” from them.

19. Bjorn, this was well done you have really captured a lot in so few words.

20. Cool!

21. Short but full of meaning.

22. You pack a lot into just a few words. Well done!

23. Insightful and intriguing thoughts expressed so tightly.

24. very tight indeed…with depth…

25. secrets
    ~
    some words
    are best left
    ~
    unsaid

26. I always wonder about buried secrets – who do they really protect ?

27. This is intriguing. I like the gardening images with the fertilizing/burying. We only reveal what we are comfortable exposing. And, it takes time to build trust to a point we can allow those secrets to surface.

28. Short and sweet!

29. secrets can be harmful..but if you put love fertilizer it may be another story smiles..

30. Such concise and yet such concrete words.

31. we all bury secrets…the question is are we burying ourselves completely such that relationships can not take hold and grow.

    lovely verse…so much said in so little words.

32. yes curiosity does indeed provide a fertile relationship. it’s when we stop wanting to know that all love dies…
