Before-word: Very special and fun thanks to the bloggers/readers who joined in on last week’s post [see it 👉here👈] to co-create a poem with me which I’m posting this week.
So, here’s to OUR poem: “That Drink”! Look out for your words/lines as you read /listen along.
Said the pineapple to the lime
Sun’s blazing across the skyline
‘Tis the mixologist’s shining moment
That drink to relieve beach goers’ torment
Ice, pineapple blended together
Now that’s a real thirst quencher
Uggh, pineapples belong on pizza!
Nah-ah! Bring on the mix, hype up the pleasure
Said the beach goer to the drink mixer
Pour me another for me and my partner
Life doesn’t get much better than daiquiri by the sea
Ahhhh, that’s just what the doc prescribed for me
Tangy, tasty, a cocktail refreshing
Mhmm — YESSS — first-sip reliving
Brilliantly garnished like a summer’s day sun
Gulp gulp — NOOO — it’s all done!?
Ahoy! Ahoy! Thanks a lot fella!
De-lish delightful drink—deliciosa!
This is the life relaxing on the beach
A taste of paradise all within reach
Heart sipping heaven’s sweet serving
That refreshing drink beach bodies craving
Resting now embracing love
Cooling soul like a gift from above
At last
What a blast
Just what I needed
Thirst superseded
That drink!
THANK YOU to the following bloggers/readers (in order of responses). Did you see your words/lines?!

It’s coming up to 78 degrees Celsius. It’s HOT! It’s HUMID!!
This drink is offered to you from under the shelter of a beach umbrella, a cool wind picks up off the ocean waves, you take the first sip and you say: ________________ [fill in the blank]
Drop your “fill in the blank” comments below 👇 and help me build a poem. I’m excited to see what magic we co-create. Let’s go …
UPDATE: The co-created poem can be seen and heard, just click here 👉 “That Drink”

I’d say I’m the “accidental gardner”.
I picked up gardening this summer when the lansdcaping company I hired was a no-show. We had laid out the plan but when spring ended and May rolled around and they were nowhere in sight I said to myself, “Self, you can do this”. I had no tools and I had no idea about flowers—I just knew what was aesthetically pleasing to me.
I researched nurseries. I researched flowers. The workers at the Home Depot and nurseries became my buddies—“What tools do I need for this and that?” “Which potting soil and fertilizer is best?” “Mulch?!” And pretty soon google was auto-directing my searches to all things “garden”.
But somehow “deadheading” didn’t come up till a kind blogger, Eliza Waters, in her comment on a post advised me to deadhead the tickseed to encourage rebloom. Back to google I went: “What is deadhead?” “How to deadhead …?”
I clipped with careful precision, following the google-advisors to a T. All the while praying I’m doing it right.
Over the weeks following I kept checking for signs of regrowth. And then one morning, after a night of summer showers, there they were—new buds!
Suffice it to say, I was elated! With my trusty iPhone I began documenting what to me—the accidental gardener—is a feat.
Thank you for journeying along.
