Hi Lexx...Yes It's been awhile! How have you been?
Looking back on this Lexi, I have to thank you again for all your help- not only was it a learning experience I appreciated, it was fun as well.

Life has been kind thanks for asking- still in the midst of family life. Our eldest daughter is in her last year of college and our other two daughters are in high school..
After that I guess as my Lexi says: "Merrily I Fly" metaphorically speaking.

Yes.. I would like your email it would be great to catch up

No hurries or worries on getting back ASAP..whenever you're feeling up to it and have time.

I'm going to get some sun and try to work in my garden as much as I can- see how it's coming along.

Should have fed it better.

I Love Leeks!

(Must be Welsh, ha!)

You should see all the Grapes hanging down on my Patio.

Me too on the Leeks..I love making cream of Leek soup without paying the least bit of attention to calories!

Nice to reach up and pick them through the beams.

It's really a lot of work and it would cost me in water to use the Terraced Garden properly.

It does have more Grapes across the top.

As I get older, I wished to slow down, and stay inside more, reading and such; but I guess Spirit had other plans...

Crepe Myrtle bloomed for the first time. Thought that plant was gone when I first came, but no!

It's right at nose level as I walk by, strong enough to smell Inside, very nice on the bricks in the evening.

I went for a walk yesterday spotting some wild flowers in my field..I favor and love Wild Sweet Williams, not sure that is their proper flower name but that's what I've always called them. Not a Lexi but just an informal verse from letters ensued..I haven't played with Lexigrams in a long time..I figure you have to start somewhere though.

Wild Sweet Williams

Timid smiles
set tall
small dials lilt
and smells
deem East to West
as wet dew
melts at last.

Lovely!
Here are fixes to make it become an actual Lexigram!
And a replacement suggestion for a valid word.

Wild Sweet Williams

Timid smiles
set tall
small dials lilt
and smells

>>>change and to amid or amidst<<<
deem East to West

>>>use a comma in lieu of the word "to" which has a letter "o" you do not have from the title;
Wild Sweet Williams<<<

as wet dew
melts at last.

<<<does dew melt? How about dries in stead?<<<

Or.....
Do nothing except to add to word "on" or "no"
to the tile so that you can keep the word "to" and the word "and".

THE EASIEST FIX TO MAKE YOUR POEM INTO AN ACTUAL LEXIGRAM IS TO SIMPLY ACQUIRE A LETTER "N" AND A LETTER "O"
IS SO VERY EASY TO DO!
SIMPLY ADD
"ON"
TO THE ORIGINAL TITLE:
"Wild Sweet Williams"
LIKE THIS:
"On Wild Sweet Williams"
Like saying the Lexigram/poem is
"about" or "on"
the topic of
On Wild Sweet Williams
