Open Link Monday

Welcome to the Imaginary Garden...



...you're in the company of Real Toads!

Good day to all friends and visitors to the garden. This is your weekly opportunity to link up a poem of your choice, free from any restrictions and parameters of prompts and challenges. I always look forward to seeing your latest pieces, or having the opportunity to read a poem from your archives which I may have missed. Please remember that this is a shared forum, so in linking a poem, be sure to return the visits to your site - your comments are much appreciated.

Good morning, Kerry. Today's poem is over a week old, and it can be a participation poem if you wish.

Good morning Toads! I discovered this wonderful community only today. I love the poems I've been reading from the Real Toads and the challenges/prompts. I am nowhere as good a poet as the regular contributors here. My poems tend to use everyday words and sentence constructions and deal with very commonplace issues. But I hope to grow as a writer, hopefully with help from the Toads :) Cheers!

Good morning! I posted one from way back in 2010 when only one person read my blog.

Good morning. I'm posting one inspiring the other day by the night sky, while feeding my goats. Thank you for hosting. :)

I linked a new poem I wrote. I have been into writing to Klimt (and other) paintings lately.

Late for Susan's Sunday challenge: we were snowbound in my studio, in the middle of nowhere, trapped by drifts to prevent us getting to the main road.
Ever so cosy, beautiful as well. And I reckon I lost a few pounds in weight, food stocks being low :-)
Still, one can write with paper and pencil. So here is my linkage.

I've linked up one of the poems from my book, it just seemed apt this week. Thank you so much for all your love and support about the book release on Kindle, it's been a whirlwind and after 100 sales in 24 hours the publishers are now bringing forward the paperback printing to within the month. It's crazy. I need you lot to keep my feet on the ground, bring on a challenge :)

Mary said...

I have enjoyed reading /commenting on the 26 others who have posted in open link so far today and would like to thank the 8 people of these people who visited / commented on my posted poem. Just saying...

“Simultaneous Essence”

Eager to learn the language of the soul
Her head rested on his shoulder like a
Bird folding its wings,
And all the while the cashmere moon,
A lothario to earth in a traveling halo
With Ellington’s sheen.
