Marian I am so with you on the peony/ants image--i once used it in a poem I wrote about Marilyn Monroe, in fact--it's one I love, and the other garden metaphors all were equally vivid--nothing says passion like the sex of flowers, I always say. Fine work--and thanks Corey for that King quote--he spooks me too much to read any more because he is THAT good, but I'm thinking I may have to try that one now.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-3855121438446594912012-03-27T20:16:47.663-05:002012-03-27T20:16:47.663-05:00Thanks for making the challenge so successful ever...Thanks for making the challenge so successful everyone, and thanks for playing with me M......you rock!Herotomosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486093602914824276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-28764614013547947702012-03-27T16:53:40.950-05:002012-03-27T16:53:40.950-05:00I love it Marian...I specially like
