Poem Annabel Lee

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago 
In a kingdom by the sea 
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child 
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that long ago 
In this kingdom by the sea 
A wind blew out of a cloud chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me 
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels not half so happy in heaven 
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know 
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night 
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above 
Nor the demons down under the sea 
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so all the night-tide I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride 
In the sepulchre there by the sea 
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Gladiolus Bulb Planting

Gladiola are one of the more majestic flowering bulbs. Herbaceous perennial bulbs that overwinter in temperate and tropical climes and are hardy in USDA Zones 8a through 10b, gladiola bloom in early and mid-summer in most climates. The flower spikes grow on thick stalks up to 48 inches in height, with lower foliage that is slim flat, tapered and pale to medium green. Does this Spark an idea?

• How to Plant & Care for Gladiolus Bulbs

Sun Exposure and Soil Requirements

• Gladiola thrive in full sun but will tolerate a few hours of daily shade or dappled sunlight. Prepare a planting bed of well-tilled, rich, moist, well-drained soil with a mildly acidic to neutral pH between 6.1 and 6.5. If you need to amend the soil to bump up the acidity, mix in some sphagnum peat moss or gypsum.

Bulb Placement and Mulch

• Gladiolus bulbs should be planted in early to mid-spring after all threats of frost have passed. Space bulbs at intervals of 6 to 9 inches and at a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Water the bulbs at planting, then do not water again until a few inches of green shoots begin to emerge through the soil. Mulch with shredded bark or compost to preserve moisture

Watering and Fertilizing Requirements

• Continually observe soil moisture levels throughout the season, watering when the soil feels slightly dry an inch or so down. You want moist soil, but overly wet dirt can easily rot the bulbs. Fertilize once or twice a month with a good quality, balanced and water-soluble formula according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  When gladiolus blooms fade, cease feeding and reduce watering by at least half to preserve the bulbs for next year and prevent rot.

Women Sexual Over-Drive Confessions

My husband works 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week. We are both tired, stressed, sore, and overworked by the end of the day. But after our daughter has gone to bed, I like to set aside everything and be intimate with my husband. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the same ideas. He's too tired, or too sore, or just "not in the mood." We are a recently married couple, in our late 20's. We should still have a decent sexual drive. It's frustrating to me that he isn't on the same page as me when it comes to sex.

It's the main argument in our marriage. I can't understand how six or seven days can go by, and sex just never happens. No woman wants to always take the initiative ... If I didn't speak up, I'm sure a month could just pass by without any intimacy at all. I would be happiest with intimate contact every day of the week, but I've tried to compromise to every other day. But even that doesn't occur without a reminder. I'm learning to accept that I am just going to have to be the aggressor 95 percent of the time.

[I] have had a difference in desire from my husband for about the last 11 years or more. We have sex a couple of times a year and sometimes it might be twice a week for a week and then nothing for months at a time. I have tried making his favorite meals, doing a week's worth of really nice things to get him in a happy state of mind, wearing sexy clothes and lingerie -- it doesn't work. I have no idea what turns him on. My husband doesn't respond to pressure, hates talking about it and it is a cause of stress on our marriage. He bought me a vibrator so I would be happy and leave him alone. It doesn't fill the need, although sometimes I just enjoy the pleasure without the hassle and have to fantasize that my husband enjoys pleasing me.

He wouldn't have sex while I was pregnant with each of our children. Talk about a long nine plus months. It was well over a year if no sex with our last child. Now that we have completed my our family I don't know if we will ever have sex again. He says his work is done ... We are completely happy otherwise. In total we have been together 20 years and married almost 11. We are each others' best friend just not compatible lovers
