Orchids for Devon

  Hello! Today is Administrative Professionals Day, and my friend Devon is the best there is! I bought her orchids to say "Thanks for being awesome!"


In honor of Dev, I give you these beautiful pomes. All have been found on Poemhunter.com.  If I have a moment to meditate, I may add one of my own to this. "Orchids for Devon" is the perfect title for a poem.....



Court Orchids - Poem by Luo Zhihai

Drizzle fluttering the ink rhyme
Spring light shining the poetic field
Snow melted, pond willows were soft green
Wind passed, court orchids were fragrant and sweet

The Simple And Elegant Orchids - Poem by Luo Zhihai

Before the desk, an ink stone of the tender moon
Under the brush, several branches of the simple and elegant orchids
The past of life light like the smoke
In the dust world, undeserved reputation like catkins

Jade Orchids - Poem by Luo Zhihai

Life is too short
Time is long
Golden phoenixes are tender
Jade orchids are fragrant
***

Orchids In Bloom - Poem by Luo Zhihai

In Lonely Bloom
In the bottom of the gully, orchid fragrance is in lonely bloom
Moonlight shines vastly before the village
Where the east wind drunkenly, although spring is good
Time of the litchi fruits red, summer is thick

Fragrant Orchids in the Valley - Poem by Yi Hwang

Fragrant orchids in the valley lend enchantment to the air;
those puffy clouds over the mountain are also delightful.
Amid pleasures such as these, I still long for my dear one.

The Orchids. - Poem by Sy Wong


Of all the flowers
My gaze is upon you
My orchid,
Dear, you are vibrant
Vividness is an attribute
You illuminates the garden
Your passion is alluring
Entreat by you, I stand amazed
Real flowers of heaven
Upon you I love and admire.

The Ellie@Home 2020 Summer Reading List

   Good Evening and Happy Memorial Day! This post is far later than I planned thanks to technical difficulties (sob, sob) but here it is, better late than never! The earlier version of this post was wry, witty, and weird, and I don’t recall any of it now on my THIRD attempt. So without further ado (or headaches) I’m going to dive in. I have 34 books for this summer’s list. Because I can’t order from my library, I scoured my shelves for books that I haven’t read or have not finished. I managed to come up with 28. I grabbed one of Josh’s books, and two of Liam’s, then on a whim treated myself to a copy of Caleb Carr’s The Alienist and Angel of Darkness for my Kindle. Then, just when I thought I had enough (plenty!) Henry Roi from HellBound Books kindly sent me a review copy of The Horror Writer: A Study of Craft and Identity in the Horror Genre compiled and edited by Joe Mynhardt. This is at the top of my reading list, partly because it sounds really interesting and informative, a

Beauty for Your September Morning...

To the Light of September By W. S. Merwin When you are already here you appear to be only a name that tells of you whether you are present or not and for now it seems as though you are still summer still the high familiar endless summer yet with a glint of bronze in the chill mornings and the late yellow petals of the mullein fluttering on the stalks that lean over their broken shadows across the cracked ground but they all know that you have come the seed heads of the sage the whispering birds with nowhere to hide you to keep you for later you who fly with them you who are neither before nor after you who arrive with blue plums that have fallen through the night perfect in the dew

Carrying On

I hope this finds you and your loved ones well. My family has been fine during this stressful time, anxiety a little high but nothing debilitating, and certainly nothing we haven't been able to work through. Still, each day is an exercise in uncertainty, wondering if we are doing enough to keep ourselves and others safe, wondering if our luck will change, and what we will do if that does happen. We recently learned that our boy will not be going back to school next month (we weren't going to send him anyway), and now my husband and I are trying to figure out how we are going to oversee our son's virtual schooling while both of us are working full time. My husband has said that is the main topic of canversation in his workplace, as many of his coworkers are parents to school-age children and both parents are working. It is less of a conversation at my workplace; not so many of us have school-age children, though a handful have school-age grandchildren. Because I work
