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.

An older Winter piece.

And another older Wintry piece - which Kerry's comment called to mind. Thanks, Kerry.

Mary B. Mansfield said...

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

Fireblossom said...

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?

Marian said...

Kerry O'Connor said...

I'll take you up on that offer one day, Marian.

I could loose myself on Emily Dickinson's screened porch overlooking that garden...
