Sunday Postcard Art's theme this week is Flower Power. Naturally I thought of hippies and ricky ticky daisies so why does my card look nothing like that? I dunno. Just one of those projects that went in its own direction. The bold purple and orange flowers were cut from vintage Current stationery of the hippie era so I got that much in. The two stanzas of Roadside Flowers was found in an old (1911 or so) Ladies Home Journal. See the entire poem as it was printed below.
I had never heard of Bliss Carman. Have you? Here is a link. He was a well known poet of the day.
By the way-- how did September get here so fast???
No, I'd never heard of Bliss Carman either. Lovely postcard. I like the overlay look and embellishments. For me, it is a tad depressing that September is already here. We definitely haven't had enough summer yet, but we've sure had the rainstorms!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of him either....thanks for the link. Enjoy your day my friend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of him. Love that postcard, it's beautiful. Pretty colors. Why did September have to bring summer with it?
ReplyDeleteLove your postcard and it most definitely has a retro feel to me. Never heard of Bliss Carmen but that is a lovely poem, I've squirreled it away in my stash :O) As for September, not a dang clue how it got here so soon - it is raining cats and dogs and barely above 50F here, wahhhh! On the plus side, it's got me in the mood to make Christmas ornaments because it's so blasted cold!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Card -
ReplyDeletelovely poem! heading to check out the link and hit your other blogs up while I'm here!
Bliss Carmen is Canadian, I remember memorizing a poem in school, but I just looked at his list of poems, for the life of me, I can't remember it!!
ReplyDeleteYour postcard is very pretty!!!
Wonderful! I had not heard of this fellow but this is a lovely poem and suits your beautiful card perfectly!
