The Oracle Speaks: Our Fragrant Garden

our fragrant garden 20240522_125720

My easel and Botanical Poet magnetic poetry kit arrived on Wednesday.  Of course I immediately had to write a poem.  This set is not available to play online.  The Oracle was in a giving mood today.

      Separating all of the words from each other was a bit of a chore. Laying them out enough to see ones to choose was a bit daunting, but it worked. Thanks, Colleen, and yes, it is :)

          Thanks again! Kerfe just gave me an idea of putting the letters on the side of a metal desk I have. Imagining the desk covered with poems :)

      Steve, sometimes the virtual creative process is lacking. This way puts it into the realm of the real, same as writing on paper with a pen. The Oracle thanks you :)

    Perfect for your garden. My file cabinet is covered in words and poems–which reminds me it’s probably time to compose some new ones. (K)

      Thanks for the idea, Kerfe. I have an old fashioned metal desk I can use the side of for poems. Looking at it right now :)

    …in this, our fragrant garden.

    I can just imagine this as the last line to some great novel.

    Magnetic poetry kit! Have fun, Lisa.

    Hey, we’re of an age. Did you ever get those sort of see-through plastic sheets that stuck to the TV and you could draw on them over whatever was on the TV? I think it might have been made for a specific children’s show, actually. The late ’60s….?

      Thanks, Stacey. No, I never heard of the plastic sheets over the TV. Sounds like a hoot!

        It WAS a hoot. But I think there were a lot of accidental straying off the plastic onto the actual TV or something, ’cause I don’t remember them being around at all when I got a little older, lol

          lol guessing the folks didn’t like marring the screen. I *do* remember kissing the tv screen movie stars! Do you remember a show called, “Adventures in Paradise” starring Troy Donahue? It and he just popped into my mind. I remember kissing his face on the TV :)

          I found the series but stars Gardner McKay as Adam Troy, and he’s pretty cute so it was probably him.

        That sounds familiar, Li, but I don’t remember watching it… I don’t think I kissed the TV, but I definitely mooned over lots of teen idols back in the day along with everyone else, lol !

          It was probably at the urging of my cousin, Susie, with whom we both practically lived at my grandparents’ house. Both moms were too busy with various things besides parenting and dropped us there. We didn’t mind. (I should have mentioned this was at my grandparents’ where I kissed the TV.) Cousin was almost 5 years older than me but she was very small for her age and I was very large so we looked about the same age.

    I’ve had some kits like this… I find them too limiting. I think they are good starting points. Their limited words make one write as if creating a Zen Koen. A life lesson that has a lasting impression and a deeper meaning.

    Well done.

      Thanks, Jules. I think there are plenty of words, but physically spreading them out so they can be seen is a little daunting. I like the online version but they only show about 20 words or so at a time.

        Many years ago I had a few sets. I picked up a baking sheet at a charity shop…. You can display a good many words and still have room for verse. :)

          Good idea on a charity shop baking sheet! I’ve got the last two poems on the side of my desk but will be on the lookout for one.
