a very impressive collection of senryu sir and of course could also be a stand alone poem in its own write, if I am not mistaken... cleverly crafted.. I am also fast becoming a fan of your water colours sir, I presume they are of your doing... Neville

BONJOUR MON ONCLE MIKE ~ Brian here (its 4am Sunday in Auckland) ~ Love the watercolour with the diffused sky ! Love the odes SENRYU give unlimited scope to ones MUSE !
The DEAD do not stir
BUT - If they spake - t\'would be
In muted accents of despair !
Truth unsettled - passionate laments
Rigid grief of diffused oils intents !
One my day image - carved in Red Sandstone*
Shall brave the elements - while I rot in My TOMB
Red Sandstone is a local Mineral out of which
Liverpool Cathedral (1904) is built ~ AMEN
Yours as always ~ BRIAN

EVOLUTION : Natures greatest myth

HARD WORK : Worth dying for
CASH : 19th C substitute for plastic

Good fun write Michael.
I like them all but the first one resonates especially if you are the bank of Mum and Dad, or now in our case the bank of Nanny and Grandy.

THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE
Goldfinch60 said:
The coffee bar we frequent are very good, they know their coffees, the \'house\' coffee is Arabica but they have a guest coffee as well which changes every few months, at the moment it is Ethiopian coffee and the one before was Honduras, I always try the guest coffees but to be honest although they are very good the Arabica takes a lot of beating.
At home we have Columbian and Brazilian Santos.

A fine write and pic M. I have tea 99% of the time. The other day I had to have coffee it seemed. But \'bleurrrghh\', quite strong, and couldn\'t drink it. Oops, sounds like \'begorrah\' which is OMG - mustn\'t blaspheme.

Michael,
“Alive sand kickin’ ”...that’s a good thing!
So glad you’re feeling better!
Great painting!
I just finished watching former president George H.W. Bush’s funeral. Your painting reminded me of the cathedral the funeral services took place. Beautiful!

Wrote this a couple of weeks ago and much better now. Saw the Consunsultant yesterday and all Okay - should be back to driving again in a couple of days. I went through a life threatening experience which in retrospect has served me well in my appreciation of life. I can\'t wait to get back to a full active life again.

Michael,
Great painting! It reminds me of a wonderful corner restaurant in West Virginia, USA!
As far as the “CUTLETS err COUPLETS”...I’m not too sure what to make of it...other than having a good laugh and serving cutlets (Milanese style) tomorrow!
Enjoyed the laugh 😂

BOBBLES ON SWEATERS
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:
A jumper in America is equivalent to a pinafore in England.
And a sweater (woolen or cotton) is what the English refer to as jumpers.
As well Americans refer to petticoats as slips (full or half).
The hooped petticoat in the UK is referred to as a hooped crinoline in the US.
Your artwork is amazing. Have you ever had it showcased in the U.K.?

WHO\'S SPEAKING?
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:
What a laugh. My friend from Italy says when the phone rings in her house her elderly mother picks it up and doesn\'t say anything. This frustrates the person on the other end. Her daughter asked her why she did this and she said \"crank calls.\" If they don\'t know you\'re on the line, they can\'t pull any of their pranks or scams. :-)
Love the India ink and watercolors in your painting
