The Blog Party (a poem)
photo credit: midcoast- images
One by one the guests
stagger from the stars
into my comment box,
some bundled up in
garlands of little birds
laughing and dancing,
some robed in oceans
of late summer sunset.
Others in sepia scenes.
Some wear hats made
of rainbows, and socks
knit from lilies and lace.
Some smell like lilacs.
Some smell like lemons.
Some smell like the light
of the newlywed moon.
Two or three smell like
full length leather coats
not worn since 1975.
Some carry trays packed
with pies and maps and
freshly baked dreams.
Some carry only a rose.
Some flounce in early
with explosions of lupines
dripping from their hair,
to sway by the fire, then
float through the crowd and
slip out my music-room door.
Some limp in after midnight
soaked in beer, to swirl into
my heart and my soul and my
coffee mornings forever.
Others drift away in the fog.
But whoever the sweeties
– from whatever planet,
the more the merrier here!
– The End

For some reason, I love the line, “the light of the newlywed moon”. It’s… poetic. And THIS is way cool… “One by one the guests stagger from the stars into my comment box…” Gorgeous pic too Jannie; we’re coming in to spring here in Vancouver — W00t! Looking forward to seeing those brightly-coloured blossoms.

Glenn Buttkus said,
Your poem is vivid and heart felt. I will post it on FFTR and link back here, of course. I do have some significantly hurt feelings though, cuz I am conspicuously left off your “lucky lupine” awards list. Well, you did say “new poets”, I guess. Then again, I don’t want it to seem like I have to beg you to get onto your list, enit? But, what the hell, begging works for me with my wife….sometimes.

Chris Edgar said,
I’m curious about the lupine element of it. Is it because of your love of wolves? Or maybe they are seen as lucky creatures in Navajo trickster mythos? The mind boggles.

Glenn Buttkus said,
I stand here, I tell you “bundled up in garlands of little birds”, smelling “like a lemon”, wearing a “full length leather coat”, my “rainbow hat” has a 9″ brim, carrying “a tray of pies” in my left hand, and “a rose” in my right, and yup, my socks are “soaked in beer”. Pretty cool isn’t it?

…
Hey!!
Jingle, my dear, it is because of you that I sit here with my lupine garland today! Thanks you for letting me know of all these new and wonderful poets, and for all your shining love and light!!
Lynn!! I need pie and map girls the most!! To give me sustenance and steer me well through my days and nights. Did you hug your client??!! Hey, I might just have to hp up from here and hug my librarian.
Davina!! Well, how funny, that was the absolutely last line I added to the poem. I guess it needed that little silver sugar sprinkle in just that spot on the icing! You have lupines too on the West coast?? I miss them so much. But we do have their stubby but adorable cousin here — bluebonnets!
BRIAN MILLER!!! WHOO-HOO!!! One of the Lucky Lupine honorees. Now it is I who am honored, and most humbly. Thanks for finding your way over here. See you later by the fire!
Talon!! Frivolity is my fourth middle name! (My other are Sue, Donut and Heinekin.) And((((HUGSSSS)))) to you too!!!! Super gigantic onces!
FIVE LOAF!!!! Another Lucky Lupin’er. I know, I’m new at this — please forgive!! Welcome, welcome. Thanks for popping in. Wear your lupine well!!
Glenn!! Yes, this a “New Poets” award fest, ones I’ve not even met in some cases! And you know I love you dearly (and always will!) That coat from 1975, was from the Rolling Thunder tour. Oh, and socks that have been beer soaked and left to dry by the light of a newlywed moon, bring poems to anyone wishing for anything!!
Chris!! I grew up where lupines burst forth in little ballet troupes in June. I miss them a lot. Lupines, bloody lupines!
Remember that Monty Python skit??
William!! Consider us new BFFs in poetry, pies, maps, lemons, lupines, lilacs and all the best things in the world! Thanks for popping by.

Jannie — What fun! I love poetry and usually read it aloud. This poem was perfect for doing this:~)
My favorite stanza is:
Two or three smell like
full length leather coats
not worn since 1975.
It made me laugh.
I have a recommendation for a poet you might want to visit. The site is Word Garden at http://fireblossom-wordgarden.blogspot.com/. She writes wonderful poems that often have a wicked little twist to them.
Oh, I think the award is lovely, but I had look up what a lupine is. When when I did, I realized it’s the flowers in your BIG picture as well the one in the award. I can do really stupid things sometimes…crazy me:~)
p.s. thanks for all the new sites to visit:~)

Jingle!! Wow, these posts are all so supportive — and I owe it to you and your light in the blogosphere, and all the connections you have reached out and made. Oh, my goodness — and more awards!! You are a super-amazing giving person!! And thanks for the link back!
Anthony North!! WELCOME!! So good to meet you again, altho now that I’ve met you in your poems, I feel that I’ve always known you. Thanks a bunch for popping by!
Goatgirlbookworm!! You staggered in from the stars too! How cool to see you. And to have already posted the Lucky Lupine Award on your blog!! You make me smile.
Moon!! Are you the newlywed moon?? Thanks for your kind words. I have been on a bit of a poem kick, lately. Looking forward to reading more of your work too!
Sara!! That full length leather coat would’ve been hanging unworn in the back of that closet for 35 years!!! Yes, indeed, I am a big Fireblossom fan. Her work is freaking incredible. So I guess y’all Floridians do not grow up with lupines, eh?? Actually I might edit in the word “lupines photo credit” up there. Not everybody knows what they are.
Sheila!! My kinda party girl!! Dance! Eat!! Toss your hat down and well dance around it as we munch our lasagne and smear the air with eau de lilacs.
Barbara!! So you now the beauty of lupines too!! I miss them so much, have not been home in June I think since I got here almost 20 years ago. Mom and Dad have a big swath of them across the road from the house. THey are just gorgeous, yes!!
Tess!! Thanks. Have you any lilacs in AZ? I’m guessing most probably not. I miss them too. Posts this, all teary-eyed.
Patricia!! You have them too, lucky lady. Give your lupines and trillium a little kiss and hug for me, will ya? And yourself big ones from me. Hey, isn’t trillium the flower of Ontario??

Thanks. I kinda like this one too.
Jay! a poem for a comment, now that is too cool!! You are a man of many talents, for sure. Always my honor to see you here. Glad you drifted back in for a word!
hey, Paige! Thanks. I’d re-vamp the award a bit but it was not bad for a 5- minute effort.
BB inspired, of course. And he was the one who picked the image off Google. What would I ever do without that little guy??? 
Jingle!! These poet friends of yoursvare absolutely amazing, generous and supportive. Thank you so much for such inspiration. And please, don’t worry about any more awards for me! I still am working on that lovely Kreativ Blogger one you gave me.

Hi Jannie, nice poem. It’s rare that I come across blogs that contain poetry that is written by the owner. I really liked how you ended it with “The End”. It’s cute and it seems like there is a very merry party going on in here!

..
yeah, okay. So… :O
Andy and Jaymie again, thanks! It so rocks that you both came here out of the lupine blogging blue. Thanks!!
Affiliate!! If I even stopped to ponder that question I’d probably cry for a week — so I’m not even gonna float my boat anywhere near that shore.
Cinderkeys! Thanks. Yes, I met Fireblossom quite early on, soon after I started this blog, and have always been a fan.
Hey Hulbert!! Welcome to this never-ending party. Enjoyed your thought-provoking post over at “Blogging Without A Blog.” Believe it or not, these is a whole world of blogging poets — and it’s all a whirl of ribbons and roses.
Megan!! Please don’t tell anyone but since I posted this I sometimes too just sit and stare at the big lupines picture, framed among the purple borders. Megan, we love YOU too!!! you are getting very near and dear to my funstering heart, where you will forever stay. Bet you have lots of lilacs up there in NY, eh? I miss them a lot. There is still a big tree of them outside the window that ways my childhood bedroom, as a teen when I escaped for a night once in a while,.
I’d fling myself in to that tree, and down to my antics with Ruth and the wild gang. :0 Oh yeah!!
Lynn!! You make me laugh. I did not hug my librarian, perhaps I shall today.
And holy cow — what a sandwich indeed.

Glenn Buttkus said,
I am so pleased that your poetics muse is fired up these hours and days. You are a hell of a poet, Miss J, and the more you write, the better the stanzas become. I have been getting involved in a poetic blog site called APPLEHOUSE POETRY WORKSHOP, set up by an English teacher, Lynne Rees, who I think is a Brit living in France. So for the poetry lovers out there, check Lynne out on:http://applehousepoetryworkshop.blogspot.com/
Beware though, you might bump into some of my poems way over there too. I third and fourth the notion that Fireblossom’s site is a great place to spend some time.
Thanks for continuing to support my efforts over on my site, Jannie. You are so sweet sometimes one could become a diabetic just hanging out with you, or at least gain several pounds that end up on their butt. Thanks, as well, for smoothing my ruffled poetic feathers about being left out of your awards list.

Wow, talk about sychronicity! I just bopped from here over to Applehouse Poetry site, and badda bing, there waiting for me was a poem written by Jannie on the theme of LET’S HEAR IT FOR GOLIATH. This planet is miniscule in terms of communication, instant gratification and communication in every corner. Jannie, you still have surprises up your ruffled sleeve. You are something, girl–we just haven’t been able to pin you down long enough to identify the species and genus.

CrbianFool said,
I was wandering through the interwebs and looking through all of these wonderful poetry sites courtesy Jingle and a few others and found your work. It was great reading through your poetry! I’ve been writing for a little over 15 years but I never knew there was a whole community of crazy poets out there writing some great stuff.
As for your poem, what a fantastic way to opine on the fate of strangers. I don’t get much in the way of comments, but it does seem both strangely gratifying to get comments from total strangers as well as perfectly mysterious. We all walk our own paths, but it is interesting to see where we cross with others and what happens after we cross paths. Well, you keep writing and I will keep reading. Thanks for a most enjoyable half hour of poetry. Best gift in the world.

CrbianFool!! Well, I apologize if you have been lured here under pretense of poetry — I do mostly post other stuff. But I’m so glad you wandered in here with the rest of a band of roving wild poets!!
I’m not even sure what’s in my poetry archives here — I hadn’t posted a poem in ages. 
I’ll be for sure visiting your blog again!
Suzicate!! Welcome and thanks so much. And an award for me too!? IT is just too much, I am duly duly verklepmt — thank you!

THANK YOU!!
Yousei!! Hey, another poet stumbles in to join the party! Hello and welcome, great to “meet” you too!! Chrysanthemum and Nabu, now that sounds very intriguing!!
Thomma Lynn!! It would not be a party here without you and your four fluffy ones!! Shall we dance? And fling the catnip into the punch bowl??
Love you, TL!
ART!! Why, thank you so much! And I am so humbled and honored you shouldst visit and comment here. Who-hoo!!! What a party! I’ll be checking out your site, of course.
Shona!! Oh, I LOVE that — people roaming around heaven!! You sound too cool — will look forward to checking out your site!!
Snaggle!! My ocean-robed one!! Yes, you’re just a little late, (actually, the party’s just getting started, now that you’re finally here,)but I know you’re not beer soaked — as you don’t like the ale products.
Bring on the vodka and Kahlua!! Add lots of cream to mine, whoo-hoo!! Yes, cheeky me on my CD plug — I swear the line came first and the link was an after-thought! 
Love ya, Snag!!

Wow, what beautiful flowers! The Spring flowers are just beginning to pop up in San Diego. They’re breathtaking. Solomon was right. The grass of the field is clothed in more splendor than all the rulers of the earth. Your poem is heartwarming. I can tell that you really appreciate your friends.
