As we made plans for the summer, I knew our back-and-forths would make it hard for me to do much writing. So I decided to keep it simple and combine poetry-writing with my love of photography… a sort of haiga.
Here are three gardens I snapped in last little while (sadly none of them are mine).

Hollyhock—so cute

a favorite flower is the hollyhock. I remember making little dolls from those blooms. Love each one of your “garden musings”, Violet.

What lovely summer pickings these are, Violet! I am forever photographing others’ gardens as well… sigh. I particularly love that flouncy seersucker. Thank you!

Lovely… photos and words! I especially like your lines for hollyhocks “in flouncy summer sundress… of rose seersucker.” My grandmother’s yard was bordered by hollyhocks; I remember making princess dolls of them.

Each one of these poems is beautiful and poignant. Love this one especially:
“Hollyhock—so cute

of rose seersucker”
My mom made me seersucker sundresses when I was a girl – the epitome of summer. Thank you for reminding me of those dresses, Violet! =)
