Summer's arrived

Fruit and lilac blossoms are over, 
and so is the tulip display;

but along with poppies
and right on schedule for Pentecost ...
peonies (in German "Pfingstrosen" 
/ Pentecost roses) bloomed.

Same with roses, ...

Solomon's seal, bluebells ...
... daylilies, and much more ...
as if to soothe me
when I think with anger and contempt
of all those who coldly and calculatingly
walk over hundreds of thousands,
over millions of corpses...

Laughing Lhursday*

Self portrait on fern.

* [For first time visitors]: 
Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that 
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Lilac

Lilac is blooming
All windows open all day
its scent everywhere
*
Dia de sol clar,
finestres ben obertes,
olor de liles.
(Paula)

I, d’on ve l’olor?
De sota el finestral!
L’olor de vida.

Coffee time with Droods

... well, and to welcome May:
Strawberries & whipped cream.

Cherry blossom

Inmidst all wars

cherry blossoms

are going to tell

life could be much more easy.

For sad reason

Sometimes I wish I were but a humble gardener
with love for literature and poetry
who does not read the news.

Striking resemblance

According to my absolutely credible source*, the great-grandmother* of her informant* these days feels 'more and more reminded of an Austrian-born loudmouth whenever she has the displeasure of listening to the both moronic and perverse convicted sex offender, whose election to the White House reveals a great deal about character and intelligence quotient of both his admirers and brown-nosing sycophants'.

To which I replied: Your informant's great-grandmother compares the future ex-US president and first and only FIFA Peace Prize Winner to Adolf Hitler? 

To which my absolutely reliable source replied: ‘Moreover, amongst others she does also call him a megalomaniac war-criminal who shits on any law, the international inclusive.'
