So true Michael. On another poetry site that I was on a new person joined and I read about her and she said she was reading English. Her words were
“Studying English, I haven’t wrote many poems.”
I wrote a poem about that of course:
----------------------------------------------------
Me, A Pedant?
Andy Brister (Goldfinch60) – October 2015.


A new poet came to the site,
Not unusual, many join
This wonderful poetry enclave.
I looked at their profile
And it made me laugh.
“Studying English,
I haven’t wrote many poems.”
I wouldn’t want to stay
On that English course.
Or is it just
That I am a pedant.

Ha - - am still giggling at Neville\'s comment - - sad that dictionaries seem to have had their day Mike - - such a shame as our language is full of wordy delights. Love your exquisite artwork which I have had to miss for a few days.

I can see you guys having a lot of fun with this writing site. I love short poems or just words dripping from a pen. Every word counts.
Thanks Michael. Lovely water color paints.

Poetry has become a form of expression
For many a platform to release depression
Whether call it art, fart or a craft
Unlike most, I know I\'m not that smart

For some poetry is art. For some a poet is a boring old fart. For me, i\'m a plumber.

GOOD MORNING UNCLE MICHAEL ! Its 10pm Thursday here ! I like to comment on MPS Poems at the end of the the Day : gives me time to meditate ! Love the COTTAGE Im hoping BRIAN will buy one like that for when we are married ! In your elegant POEM you use the word FORM twice ! BRIAN has been teaching me that a PROPER POEM must have FORM & FUNCTION (as distinct from MODERN POETRY which lacks both !). BRIAN HE SAY *A Proper Poem must have Something to say (Subject & Title) and say it in a Poetic Form (Structure) ! Brian & I try to stick to that MANTRA but (Because we are Encourgers) we dont castigate those who DONT. Brian & I were taught Poetry & Literature @ School ! 20 years on (the Cultural Paucity of the 21st C) the emphasis on EXCELLENCE has dissappeared ! Thanks for sharing : Please check my poen today : PINK !

Blessings & love to You & Yours
Yours in the PINK ! ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Words from the heart, some see as art. While others just scoff and keep walking by.

Great work

A fine write Michael. Poetry might be about B& B (Bed & Breakfast); but not F&B (****** and ******). Too much of it is just laziness in poetry sometimes, I think.

Provider of big holes for the dead to give life.

Michael,

I love this poem and painting!
‘The strength of self-belief’
has pulled me out of many perilous situations!

~Laura~

P.S.- If this painting is not available, I’d like to commission you to paint one just like it for me! Thank you!

A nice write and pic Michael. I dunno - I thought of the song \'My faith it is an oaken staff\' first sung at Primary School - millions of years ago then! I understand the need for self-belief, but I wouldn\'t want to rely entirely on me.
Meanwhile - Is Miss Berles on your staff work-team?
