For those in the know and the not so know....

1. Made In Canada (specifically in the Rockies)
2. Daughter of a Norwegian Biker and a Scottish nurse (read: DISASTER! Explains a LOT!)
3. Sister to a younger brother like no other, who is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and snort spaghetti through his nose with a sense of style....

anarkiti:
Thanks N! Carpe diem, my friend. Seize the day! 
Continued Continuously
It flutters stutters past me
Catching grasping toying
Almost flirtatious with a hint of
Coy cruelty
Dancing, prancing, playing
With wild swirls of abandon
It caresses my face, clothes,
That tree and all its thousand leaves
It waves the flag at me with
Careless joy
The birds take flight
Leaping swooping twirling
Along its smooth waves and currents
Enjoying the brief respite randomly...

Dance of Seasons by Anarkiti
With
a puff
of effervescent air
the first tenuous gasp
of Spring arrives.
The subtle nod of Snowdrop
flirts
with the quaver of
cheerful Crocus
as they join
duets and zephyrs of Freesia.
Flounces of Mona Lisa Anemones
and
debutante Tulips
traipse
along tumbles of riotous colour.
The amaretto sun dance of Gerbera
sparkles
in
confetti
glow
of
Vivaldi,
Ravel...

violentpatriot:
you have a poet warrior but you are a romantic poet....
anarkiti:
We are both romantic poets and warriors in our own way. 
All the descriptive words in the poem are types of each variety of flower - i.e. Amaretto Gerbera, Debutante Tulip.
I used to be (still am) a professional container gardener and I worked at a specialty garden store that carried unusual bulbs and plants. I wrote this when I worked there. (It's a bit of showoffishness but I still love it.)

Ever get a song that sticks in your head for days?
Somehow it starts off as catchy and strangely compelling, especially one specific line.
Then a few days in, with it looping continuously in your mental soundtrack, it is no longer so cool.
You start to dread that one frikkin line that has slowly lost all meaning as it hovers over you like

rin:
oh, absolutely. i mean, i'm not too worried about getting a job, because i work as a waitress now and i think that'd be easy to land, but last time i moved out there it was without enough money to sustain me and things got pretty pathetic. i want to avoid that this go round!!
anarkiti:
It's the price you pay to live in a paradise! So worth it though! I used to live on Vancouver Island, in a tiny village called Brentwood Bay. It was a 15 minute bike ride from Butchart Gardens. What a dream place it was.
I am thinking of all of you in New Zealand. Stay safe!!
nacho1:
Horrible what happened!!
anarkiti:
Another major earthquake - as of last night 65 people dead in ChristChurch.

cornell:
Awesome songs!
anarkiti:
Thanks! I put up another one for you to enjoy!
Some creepiness for you....
throughnthrough:
love the profile pic!! 
pumpnhump:
Awesome, BRB checking under my bed for that creepy lady from the second video before she goes Praying Mantis on me. First one was really cool kind of reminded me of Nutcracker Fantasy which terrified me as a youngin.
Mildly disturbing but in an awesome way.
elisabeth:
Thanks for sharing your story and your words of encouragement. It's all going to get better, it has to, right?
I like Florence and the Machine more and more these days.

You bet it will get better! Keep your chin up Sweetie!
Oh if only. LOL
Wow. I think my fever broke. {feels forehead} That was nuts! I don't normally get sick and certainly not at that speed of "affliction" and then recovery. At around 8ish last night I started to feel a bit "off" and by midnight I had raging chills, sweats and muscle cramps all over my body. I took a cool bath around 1 to lower my temperature...
