Imaginary??? I haven't the slightest idea for I could not open a link But I'll try it anyway though it will be hard for me I think I'm talking to my plants you know and they talk back to me Some plants I visit every day and some I hardly see I have to wait till Spring again for they are sleeping now They shut their doors in wintertime and stay alive somehow But at the first site of some green I'm there with softly voice Encourage them to grow and bloom in colors of their choice Spring is a difficult time for me and yet a happy one too They all will waken from their sleep but I want it faster I do I tell them roses 'come on you guys' I've waited long enough Don't disapoint me now you see I gave you all that stuff I threw some grains for you to eat embedded you in earth 'Come on' I tell them every day that must be something worth I clipped your hair wich grew too wild so you will look real nice But how I plead and how I scream they won't take my advice 'It is too cold yet' they tell me, 'when we should grow too fast and then at a late winterfrost we're not convinced we'll last' So we will stay behind closed doors till sun will shine us hot And then perhaps we will show you all the surprises we've got' But I will keep talking to those roses and all the other plants On my knees I plead to the sun for the warmth she sends You may believe it or you may not but I think this is the way For every summer my garden if full of blooming plants I say A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... Want to use the pics on my website? Just send me a mail and I'll give you the link. |

Sorry about the links, Titia... They're oldies but goodies too.. As long as your plants are talking back to you, you've got yourself some personification...  Plants don't literally sleep... They don't actually shut any doors... They can't complain about the cold... etc, etc,.. You've personified them.. You have, you have.. |

Your personification worked out quite nicely in here, Titia. I can't wait to see your beautiful flowers!  God bless America, my home sweet home. |
