CALLING ALL GARDEN MUSES

Time to bid April farewell and welcome in May with your garden musings.

This May

Besides this May

We know-

There is another-

How fair our speculation of the Foreigner

Some know him whom we knew-

Sweet wonder-

A nature be

Where saints, and our plain going neighbor

Keep May !


-Emily Dickinson

Hooray for May! If I had to pick a favorite month, May would be a serious contender, along with June, September, and October.

Hey Lintys,

Thanks and right back at ya. Why don't you post a little poetry for our May Garden Bloggers' Muse Day ?

Nancy J. Bond said...

Did Dickinson ever write anything that wasn't beautiful? Love your photo and the poem suits the first of May to a tee! Happy Birthday, too! Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday. :)

Not that I know of, Nancy : )

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Happy birthday to your May Day Dad.

Of course I will stop by and visit you. Thanks for contributing to GBMD.

Happy Birthday! Today is also the anniversary of my closing on my house. I love the froggy sax player, is he a Blues musician or does he play Jazz? My May muse is up at http://mcgregorsdaughter.blogspot.com/2008/05/may-muse-2008.html. Happy May Day!

I just heard it Annie and it is really awesome. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our Muse day.

I had a wonderful birthday ( great weather here in Chicago ) doing absolutely NOTHING which is a big change for me : )

Belated Happy Birthday Carolyn. You are in marvelous company on your birthday. I just love Emily.

I did a muse day post of sorts. I liked an entire book so I posted about it.
