Open Link Monday

Calling all toads to the garden...


Welcome to one and all on the first Monday of the new year.  May this year offer us all the inspiration to take our writing to greater heights, in the pleasure of one another's company.


Please link up a poem, old or new, and leave a few words behind.  It is the ethos of this poetry community to support the work of other poets who share their work alongside our own, so visit and review a few of the posts you find linked today.

    And another Wintry piece. Love the picture of Emily Dickinson's garden, my fave poet ever and the one I named my daughter after.

    Do I even need to tell you how much I love that picture, or what special associations I have with her home and with the garden itself?

    I checked my archives and came across one of sunsets on a frozen lake. It is cold here and your photo is quite inviting.
