The tale of Louise rabbit and Roland the hedgehog
Neville said:


This is a most endearing tale DA and you really should try and get the whole thing published as a children\'s book ... I dont have any grandchildren as yet, but I do know that if I did, they would absolutely love this ....

The tale of Louise rabbit and Roland the hedgehog
L. B. Mek said:

Roland works fast! lol
wonderfully rhythmic and enjoyed the small characterisation details, quirky and fun
\'\"Good morning dear mr hedgehog\"
said louise whilst sniffing a rose
she\'d noticed Rolands cutest of eyes
and his wiggle-de-piggle-de nose.\'

A dark poem as promise d a.May that satisfaction of joy come into your heart.

Just played that album a few days ago, cracking album.
As you have mentioned Miles Davis I though you would like to know that I have nearly all his recordings and I am going through them in the car when I go out - there is a long way to go yet before I hear them all.

deceptively psychologically orientated.. this is also an exceptionally noir poem that is desperately deep and maybe even significantly insightful ...

Looney Limerics
Neville said:

Is this one three verse whole or three single limericks stacked atop each other .. at the end of the day, it doesn\'t really matter does it because it, or they, whichever, work either which way .. ..

and furthermore, your decision to post limericks today as I know you have done in the past serves to demonstrate how versatile you are when it comes to this writing malarkey .....

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Dusk! They say that MIMICRY is the highest form of FLATTERY and you sure have flattered UNCLE MIKE with this one! He sure deserves it. For ME - With His Daubs & Odd Odes He is one of the LOVLIEST Poets on MPS. Thanks for showcasing a TRUE GENTLEMAN!

Love - Peace & Joy

Andrew Charles Forrest said:

Haha excellent reminded me of...

One day I was counting clouds to put myself to sleep
The clouds had eyes and ears and legs my god! I\'m counting sheep!

Love this one DA \"when sleep turns to dreams\" are we asleep? oh so many questions

You just didn\'t want to count me did you, I was number 71.

You know that you have absolutely hit the spot with the music today. The 50s cool mainstream jazz is at the top of my long list of jazz I like.

about Lisa
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

HI DUSK - A & B here - Yes we both had different views about who Lisa was but Angela & I both agreed that SHE was packing her bag to leave HE because of LISA and also that because SHEs MUM was in a Locket she was probably deceased ? Also - because SHEs MUM had such distinctive EYES SHE assumed LISA was a blood relation ? We are not told the age of LISA which would have helped !

I (BRIAN) assumed HE & SHE were Husband & Wife and that LISA ~ HEs new Lady Friend who has just come on the scene ~ presumably Younger than SHE (They usually are). LISA is (because of the EYES) possibly related to SHEs Mother ~ even though previously SHE has never never met Lisa ~ a niece perhaps. Perhaps Brian didnt know who she was either and had met her at Work or in the Gym or whatever ? The *EYES* are too much for She & She has to pack her bags & LEAVE !

I - Angela - being a WOMAN see a much more intriguing and heart-breaking Scenario. HE & SHE are co-habiting and one Day she discovers a photo of a Young Lady in His Wallet with an inscription *All My Love LISA and seven kisses* Men are such fools HE should have left it @ work! LISA is horrified because looking back at her - from the photo - are her own DEAD MOTHERS EYES - Who is LISA? When She confronts He - He turns Pale and tries to Laugh it off saying *Its Nothing - just a Girl at Work* She hires a Private Detective to look into who actually LISA is. To her added HORROR she discovers LISA is her own SISTER and a Secret Love Child between HE & HER Mother. Shes Mother was divorced when SHE met HE! She resolved to KILL both LISA & HE .......... To be continued!

Which version do you prefer?
Love - Joy & Peace

What a great flow to this little bit of gentle erotica - - being young in mind and heart certainly \"strips the years clean away\" - - your verses D.A. are full of exciting movement and your way with short- line is always alluring to verbose poets like me.......... great read.

You\'ve nailed it for those of us over 50 (or whatever) with this:

A young man
walking in an
old mans shoes.

I feel like a college kid every day as I head to work on my bike, ride through the university neighborhoods getting passed by gaggles of kids on electric scooters, dodging the coeds on their phones crossing the street without looking up... they see an old guy with gray hair sticking out the back of his helmet... I feel like I fit right in... sigh.

Hi Dusk Arising,

A wonderful, brilliant write.

We should definitely respect our armed forces more.

The soldiers from WW1 and WW2 I hold up with deepest respect and admiration.

Thanks for this wonderful tribute

Keep writing โœ and safe during these challenging times.
