Poem: "The Tragedy of the People"
May. 9th, 2017 01:13 pmThis poem is spillover from the April 4, 2017 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from chanter_greenie and callibr8. It also fills the "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" square in my 2-1-17 Love Songs card for the Valentines Bingo fest. It has been sponsored by Anthony & Shirley Barrette. This poem belongs to the Polychrome Heroics series.
Warning: This poem contains some intense topics. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It features living in a warzone, references to war-related violence, imperialistic history, acts of genocide, Palestine and Israel are bottom-ten countries for valid reasons, fleeing in terror, survivor guilt, scrounging for survival, recruitment into a supervillain organization, and other angst. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

Tuesday Yardening
May. 9th, 2017 03:38 pmToday is sunny and quite warm, with just a little breeze.
Round 1, I planted dill, oregano, thyme, and pineapple sage in the strip garden.
Round 2, I potted up jalapeno pepper plants with lime basil, and cayenne pepper plants with sweet basil. I put the leftovers in the cistern herb garden.
Round 3, I planted more morning glory seeds around the support wire for the telephone pole.
Round 4, I potted cilantro, flat parsley, and curled parsley and put the extras in the cistern garden. I also put together a pot of yellow and orange flowers. Then I pulled more weeds around the forest garden.
The first peony bud is open. The white globe allium is in full bloom. I rather like it, and may buy more. They come in purple too, which might be nice for the purple-and-white garden.
It's dusk now, so I'm done for the night.
