The Tuesday Platform

Welcome to the Tuesday Platform:  - Are you Joking? 
(nope, this is real@the garden)




Greetings Toads and Friends ~ it's Tuesday and it's time to showcase your creativity!

The stage is yours today. You sit center spotlight. The production and direction is entirely in your hands.

So link up with Mr. Linky and share with us, one poem of your choice. 
Old. Oldish. New. Newish. Re-write. Freshly squeezed. etc.
Don your caps, hats, feathered boas, platform shoes, or whatever works for you and get to it. 

Once you've shared and linked, please stop back in here to check out what's happening and take some time to switch roles and visit with the others. Share your ideas and encouragement. Find some inspiration waiting in the wings.

Now - on with the show.

[note: the weather here is predictably unstable and more often than not lately, I find myself sitting in the dark - due to prolonged power outages, so I may very well be delayed popping back in, but I will get around as I can.]

Happy Poeming and Tuesday!

This weekend's O Bheal poem came out as a science fiction poem; the post includes links to two longish short stories set at different times in the same hypothetical future.

Finally found my feathered boa--it took forever! Now, I can't choose the perfect hat. The perfect hat is important. I shall do a bit of running around, and then come back to delight in everybody's poetic yum.

Thanks a bunch for hosting, Pat.

Hello friends and travelers, costumed or not ....

the hour creeps later and I'm suffering for intense pain so I will be back tomorrow, with fresh eyes and a lighter step, I hope, in my heart ...
to read ....

so continue carrying on and enjoy the Tuesday and what's left of it, as it slides into Wednesday :)

Thanks for the wonderful invitation, Pat.. never mind the weather. It is great to see such a wonderful turnout in the garden. I am sharing a poem from last year, as my writing time has been limited. It's late too, but better late than never.

I don't even know what day it is, and you've already read this poem, Pat, but sharing anyway! Love to all. M.
