Poetry Friday Round-up
Join the 4th of July Poetry Friday Roundup at My Juicy Little Universe.
A friend posted a video on Facebook. You may have seen it, too, of the elapsed time photos of flowers blooming. I was inspired to write short poems, haiku-type, about the different flowers. For each one, I googled the flower and used facts in the creation of the poem. For example, a gladiola is also known as a sword lily. Then I found creative commons photos, uploaded to Tapestry, and wrote a poem. I would like to include more poems in my Thinglink video creation, so if you would like to add a poem, please write one in the comments. Or you can do it in Tapestry and send me the link. I’ll post the link for the final video on Sunday on my DigiLit Sunday post. Also, on Sunday I’ll have an offer code from Thinglink for early access to Thinglink for video.

Reflections on the Teche 
Beautiful images, photos and poems, Margaret. FYI-I’m not getting through to your video, just to a thing link ‘how-to’.
Thanks for letting me know.
Nice collection, Margaret. I have many flower haiga, so I’ll email you one.
Thanks. Looking forward to your poem(s).
You amaze me with your creativity and adventurousness, Margaret. Beautiful poems – but I, too, had trouble getting the video to play.
Getting tech help from Thinglink. Hopefully it’ll get resolved before Sunday.
Challenge taken, Margaret-poem on its way!
No problem for me getting both video and sound – what a perfect match of music to images! THANKS so much for posting it, Margaret.
And thanks for sharing the poems you came up with to fit those flowers.
Beautiful, Margaret. I love the gladiola one in particular.
My favorite is gladiola’s soft sword slicing, too–very impressed at your tech tools, Margaret!
This is beautiful.
I hacked it a little: mine is Dandelion

Once golden, I wait;
your whispered wish whisks me free
to reseed my gold.
That was fun to try out! I loved visiting the Bellagio while in Vegas and seeing all the flowers, so that’s what inspired the poem. https://readtapestry.com/s/7eEUsPIvx/
Love that video that you posted on FB! Especially the flowers that “pop.” Love what you did with your poems too, but try as I might, I’m unable to access your video. Waah. 😦
Lovely! This is the first time I’m hearing of the Tapestry app. I usually make use of FilterMania2, but it doesn’t have the text function. Fats, one of the GatheringBooks ladies, recommended Fotor to me, but it takes quite a bit of getting used to. 🙂
