Rosemary Fibs and a Little Weather As Well

Here
Grows
Woody
Rosemary
A favorite herb
Mediterranean Flavor

Look
Wild
Growing
Pungent Herb
Lingers on my hands
Rosmarinus dew of the sea

It's Monday, 6 AM and the weather begs me to write just one more:

Winds
Howl
Today
Trees swaying
Rain pelting the ground
Umbrellas flying from fingers

Create you own fib: There are only 2 rules. The first rule is the sequence of syllables which is 1/1/2/3/5/8. The second rule is that no one-syllable lines can contain an article (the, a, la, le, etc.)

I just got a lavender plant and it's a reason to visit my patio these days. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I see we have something other than writing in common - education. I'm in my 3rd year, teaching the 6th grade. I love it!

Magical. I can smell the rosemary and feel the wind.

The pictures are wonderful as are the fibs! I love the smell of crushed herbs on my fingertips- like perfume!
BTW, Jone- you inspired me for my fib today! Thanks!

I love the part about 'lingers on my hands' - I think the smell of spices and herbs is arguably better than the taste. Thanks for reminding me!

Hi Jone- wasn't sure if you got my comment earlier (you can pick one or the other to post here) but wanted to let you know how sweet these fibs were- rosemary is one of my favorite herbs, for sure!
And, you were an inspiration to me for this One Deep Breath! So, thanks!

Love these! I have been stuggling to keep my rosemary alive on the sill. The first is my favorite.

Wonderful fibs! I like the weather one the best. It's easy to visualize.

Jone,
I liked all three. The first two spoke so eloquently to me.

Well, I was showing studnets how to do these and realized the weather one was wrong so I had to revise it.

weather one's best :)

Rosmarinus in a Fib! Wow.

Nice Fibbing. I love the imagery in the weather one plus the slyly hidden rhyme.

Wonderful! There isn't much better than growing your own rosemary. I have tons and tons of it -- the deer won't eat it and it makes my roast chicken even more delicious!
