Welcome to the Imaginary Garden ...

Warm greetings to all! I am hoping that as it gets colder in my part of the world, it is getting hotter in yours and you will soon be enjoying the benefits of summertime. Whatever the weather, it is Monday in the garden and that means a day of reading some amazing poetry.
If you have something brand new to share today, or a poem written earlier in the week, or even something from your archives, we would love to get the chance to see it. As always, we at Real Toads encourage you to visit and comment on the work of other poets who use this site.

Thank you for doing Open Link Mondays for us, Kerry.

I was there for your last summer. It really wasn't too very hot compared to our Texas heat that's coming now.

Sidney is a lovely city to visit, my choice there. We liked it all. In December-January we cruised from Auckland (NZ) around New Zealand and over to Tasmania and up to Melbourne and Sidney.

Good morning,
new rictameter [why does that name remind me of taking a baby's temperature?][don't answer that:-) ]
This form is truly addictive.
I'm sure I'll have to add more during the day.
Hope it is warm where you are. It ain't here.

Gorgeous view! I wish we could all meet at the corner Lily pad ;D

Hello friends, I have several appointments today but will be back to read your poems late this afternoon... really looking forward to the time to relax and feel your words bathe my soul.

I wrote two poems one for Sunday and one for today! I started it last night, but had issues with Blogger loading photos?! Anyone else still having issues?

Susan said...

Happy Victoria Day, everyone, Canadian or not! I may write a celebration poem, but for now here's a happy poem written earlier this month to no prompt at all ...

My poem a la Don Marquis is up - may need some revision, when I get a chance to read it through properly.

Dear Jim, I'm South African - never been to Australia myself. I guess it must get pretty hot in Texas.

Its sweltering heat out here,melting souls...and all i write about is unrequited love..

Timoteo said...

Thank you, Grace...and good morning Toads! My poem is on a level that may appeal to a bit "younger" audience...let me know if you have any questions...LOL

Rita, your poems are very beautiful, but I couldnt find a place to comment. I especially love the idea of the moon as a football.

If you look up "potboiler" in the dictionary, I believe you'll find the piece I just posted.
