Open Link Monday

Welcome to the Imaginary Garden!

photo by Marian Kent, My Children's Garden
Greetings, everyone! I believe this is the first time I’m extending the Monday open link invitation, with Kerry away on vacation, so I thought I’d share a glimpse of the inhabitants of our garden. They’re not always so easy to photograph, preferring privacy for their assembly. So I am grateful that they agreed to pose for us today. Quite inspirational, that fellowship!

Without further delay, a warm invitation is extended to all friends of the Real Toads to share a poem today via our link-up, and to enjoy the writing of others who join in. All comments and reviews are greatly appreciated, so please do visit others sharing their work this week as well. Thank you, and I look forward to reading your writing. Have a great week!

Trying to write haiku based on how the Japanese count syllables so to try to see English that way. If you recall Ying Ying (means stars I think) was a Panda Bear.

Hiya Marian,
still leaving "your phone off the hook" so to speak?
Maybe my thought waves reach you when I say to myself: 'I like that' :-)

Howdy Toads! Hope your weekend was good...if not, today's another chance to get it right.

Margaret said...

Good MONDAY, Toads and fellow poets. I am having a new cable service installed so will be off-line for part of the day. Will visit later this afternoon.

Marian said...

Hello, pals!
Monday, Monday.
Oh how I love thee,
Monday. Sigh.

Marian, I havent been able to comment on your post for the last couple of weeks.I dont know why but I just can see the link to post the comments.So let me use this box to let u know that ur take on left-eye twitches was superb.the last line came so casually and yet acted as such a clincher.

Marian said...

thank you, Abin! i disabled comments a week or two ago in an experiment to see what it would do to my psyche and my writing :)

is anyone else here having trouble with the RT page loading? i've been having various problems with it for several days, not just on my home computer, but also on my phone and on my work computer. anyone else?

This isn't really a poem, but then I'm not really a poet, so...

Oops times 2--#26, 27 links here are for the Jim Morrison prompt which I have down correctly on the other screen. Not sure how to delete these two!

Poking around in the stacks, I tripped over this one from an old Toads prompt........I had forgotten it, like so many others.

Herotomost said...

Hallelujah!!! I finally made it to the site for a post...an old post, but a post nonetheless. Maybe you likeee, maybe you don't. Happy Monday!!!!

Other Mary said...

Sorry Toads! I forgot to link back here earlier, but I've corrected that now. :o)

Leovi said...

That pretty picture! I really like this little corner garden!

Marian said...

Patricia, i took care your links for you, liked your Jim Morrison poem, though.
i also removed a couple links to a photography site. nice photos, but the Imaginary Garden open link is for sharing poetry.
