Poetry Pantry #278

Garden Parks of Vancouver, Canada
by Wendy Bourke


Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden 

Nitobe Memorial Garden – Japanese Garden

Queen Elizabeth Park – Bloedel Conservatory

Queen Elizabeth Park – Rock Quarry Garden

Stanley Park - Oceanside

Stanley Park - Path

Greetings, Poets!  We are greeted this morning for more photos contributed by Wendy Bourke.  Thank you, Wendy, for sharing the beautiful park scenes with us.

If you haven't read Rosemary's I Wish I'd Written This, scroll back one post. She featured the poem The Confessor of Winter Fields by Brendan MacOdrum, a poet whose work we sometimes see posted online at various sites.  Rosemary does such a tremendous job with these articles that it is always nice to see comments of those who read them.

Tomorrow Sherry will be sharing poems of the week of three regulars here at Poets United.  You will recognize each of them. Smiles.  Do return and enjoy their poems & support these regular poets.

Susan's prompt for Midweek Motif is Mercy.  Definitely a prompt that can be taken in so many different directions.  We hope to see you join us.

Before I end, I just want to say that all of our thoughts are with the people of Paris & all of France after the horrendous terrorist attack Friday night.



Now, with no further delay, link your poem below...using Mr. Linky.  Say hello in comments! Then visit others who post their poems as well, getting to know others within our community.  Have a good day and a good poetic week.

    Also, I hope and pray that no more terrorism-related attacks will happen in the world.

    Beautiful photos, Wendy, reminding me of familiar places I always loved. I have not been to the Sun Yat Sen gardens, but always wanted to. Thanks for hosting the Pantry, Mary. Hope everyone is enjoying a lovely peaceful Sunday.

    To all - please forgive me this week for simply posting- Some of you already have heard that I have some sort of eye strain that has me off all 'screens' however the horrific attacks in Paris called for a bearing of witness I share here a very rough albeit from the heart short poem ... Je Suis Paris - Je Suis Monde - this spinning blue marble will never crack under the hatred of a few devoted to self annihilation and murder.
