Tulipomania Nonet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In sixteen-hundred and thirty-four
tulips arrived on Holland’s shore
each bulb’s value grew like gold
vast amounts were then sold
some lost their fortune
in these trade days –
Netherland’s
tulip
craze!

Thank you to Jael for inspiring me to try a variety of poem styles
(including Nonets). Her poetry blog is one of my favorites!

Here is a list of blogging friends who have either nominated me, tagged me, or shown blog love in the last few months. I’ve listed then in the order that they have honored me. I do not participate in awards anymore; however, this is my way of thanking blogs that I follow for introducing me to their readers. I really appreciate the WordPress Family – all of you !

A special thank you to my kind and talented husband, Ian, who resuscitated my computer when it got the blue screen of death this week. I now have a clean install and it runs faster than ever! He also repaired my van and did the startup on our sprinkler system for all of our gardens. I appreciate his companionship, prayers, and his desire to help so much!
