Well done, Dave.
You have chosen the right image for your avatar. Dogs are pure pessimists. When you leave they are absolutely sure you have abandoned them. Explains why they are so elated when you return. Write on my friend.

Just be you, don’t let anyone change you! Of course optimism can lead a man into thinking a man the river is half full, when’s it’s half empty, lol! I’d say either way watch out for the stone hidden inside

The pessimist tendency can be hard to the optimist who looks at life with a perpetual smile - my take is to try staying right in the middle and see both side. Good ;piece of advice in the final line here Dave.

I am definitely an optimist in this life and because of that I can see fine lines in your incantations Dave.

You can\'t be a complete a pain in the derrière if this made me giggle, right?
It\'s pretty hard not to be a pessimist anyway. At least you\'re always prepared for the worst! (Wait, was that a bit of optimism on my end?)

I don\'t think you\'re the old curmudgeon you lead us to believe. But that could be me just being optimistic.

That is very sad Sax. If you went straight to Utube and put Storm and Tim Minchin there something should come up I\'ll bet.....
But although I\'ve already admitted my poetry ain\'t good - surely it isn\'t so bad that my meaning is obscure....?

We all have our own way of looking at love. For me all was great memories. It brightens up my world .I write of it often. Even the poetry of lost loves taught me something . Quite a odd song. lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Frenia, you are completely selfless aren\'t you? There is commentary awaiting you on your entry \'The Mirror Of Life\' , yet you prefer to spread the love....
Thank you for your spontaneous endorsement - I hope to hear from you again any time you feel so inclined....

Love it! Particularly the last few lines. Love must be proactively brought about rather than passively hoped for. Great message here Dave.

A fine write Dave.
I felt sorry for a tree on a cold night, so brought it indoors. Not a bonzai mini-tree, but an oak. Not much room in the house now! lol.
