planting pinks
purple salvia, cat mint -
resting in lilies
-Andromeda Jazmon
I've been working in the garden a lot this past month. Usually by July I've given up on it and retreated to the cool of air conditioning, but this year it's been so cool and rainy I am still in planting mode. I keep trimming things back and adding new plants. It's a relief sometimes I sit back and rest my gaze on the old familiar perennials that come back year after year... like the day lilies that were here when I bought the house. There is no orange and gold like theirs in the late afternoon sun... Hope you have a peaceful corner such as this.
I am hosting Friday Poetry today, the weekly roundup of all things poetic in the blogosphere. Anyone can join in by linking to your post about poetry. I have unfortunately come down with Lyme disease and will probably be spending a good deal of the day visiting doctors, so I won't be able to update through out the day. Please leave your link in the Mr. Linky here and come back to click on everyone else's contribution. Be sure to put your name or blog name as well as the poet or poem title in Mr. Linky, along with the URL of your post, so everyone gets a clue about what you are sharing.
Here's what we have so far:
To add your post click the Mr. Linky icon above this list and put your name & URL in the form in the new window that opens.
Thank you all for your well wishes. I wasn't able to get to the specialist today, because they are so busy they couldn't fit me in. I am looking at a long weekend of painful headaches unless I take the Rx pain-killer that makes me woozy. What a choice, eh? Prayers are appreciated!!

Thanks for hosting. I'm sorry about the Lyme disease. A friend of mine is dealing with this disease, and it's not fun.
Sorry about the double post in Mr.Linky. Numbers 2 and 3 are the same. I didn't know how to delete #2.
Thanks for hosting, Andi. I sure hope you're feeling better!
Apologies from me, too, about the double posting - I always forget how Mr. Linky works! Hope the doctor visits go well.
Just wanted to wish you luck today. Hope your visits go well and your Lyme disease is mild. Also, thanks for hosting.
Thanks, andi, for hosting. Beautiful photo!
Hope your appts go well. We have five dr's appts scheduled for next week. I wish I could just hibernate through the week!
I hope the new antibiotics are working and that you're feeling much better soon. Thanks for hosting!
So sorry about the Lyme disease. Hope you find relief soon...
Lyme disease?!?! YUCK! So sorry to hear that you've got to deal with that. I hope you feel much better soon!
Thanks for hosting, and I hope you feel better, Andi. I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad.
Sorry--I've never used Mr. Linky before and ended up double-posting. Couldn't see how to delete the link either.
Thanks for the beautiful photo, and for hosting. So sorry about the Lyme Disease.
Good luck at the doctor today. Thanks for hosting & hang in there. Love the ominous last line of your poem, BTW.
Good luck at the doctor. I'm sorry about the Lyme Disease and hope you feel better.

Hi Andi,
Thanks for hosting.
Affirming your whole and perfect health.
Andi,
So sorry to hear about the Lyme disease. Take care of yourself. My niece's husband got it a couple of years ago. He caught it quickly and got treated.
Thanks so much for doing the roundup this week.
At Wild Rose Reader, I have an original fairy tale poem--which is in the form of a conversation between the Third Billy Goat Gruff and the Troll.
At Political Verses, I have a post and poem about Glenn Beck, which includes a link to a segment about Glenn Beck on The Colbert Report.
Thinking of you, Andromeda. Here's to good treatment!
Lyme disease! My hisband suffered it, awful! Lots of rest,indeed. I am so sorry. Your photo and haiku are fabulous.
Thank you for hosting! Poor you on the Lyme :-( Hope you're doing well soon!
I'm in with a post on poet John Betjeman for PaperTigers. Hope you're feeling well soon.
Thanks for hosting, Andi -- I can't believe you're doing this so I'm hoping it means your headaches are better???
Ever-darker summernight sky on my mind, and Eve Merriam's The New Moon to enjoy. Also a book promotion progress report...Thanks, Andi.
My best wishes and thanks, too.
Madam, may I humbly suggest improvements:
planting piquant pinks
salvos of purple salvia,
montage of cat mint -
resting undulating in lilies
salivating lazily.
Keep trying – you shall get the hang of it yet!
Encouragingly,
