Open Link Monday

Welcome to the Imaginary Garden...

Favim.com
Please join our gathering of toads.

I am not one to wish my life away, but I am counting the weeks until the end of February, because it is the hottest month of the year in my part of the world. The temperature soars, humidity is high and thunderstorms are our only hope of relief. However, I am certain that there are many other Real Toadians who have had enough of the Winter and are looking forward to the Spring of 2013. Whatever the weather, all are warmly greeted this Monday in the garden. Please link up a poem of your choice and spend some time reading and relaxing in our poetic environment.

  10. Hello Toads!

    As always, Open Link Monday gives me the opportunity to showcase my poems on the various aspects of gender inequality and oppression of women in India.

    I'm sorry that they are a grim way to start the week, but it is important to acknowledge this issue, more so since it is a concept that is (thankfully) a bit harder to make sense of in Western cultures. Today's piece is on "honour"-killings.

    I hope you will spread the message in your own ways, in your own words, or at least think of the victims and condemn the perpetrators of such senseless violence...

    Have a great week ahead~

    Mixi :)

    I have just been released, as it were, from the grip of depression and am SO glad to be back in the Garden. Please forgive my absences.

    Mixi's poem is flat-out amazing and IMPORTANT. Hits you in the gut. Amy
