I\'m not Catholic but I had many friends who were (not so much now as they have all given up).... but I used to think \"how therapeutic to be able to talk to someone you trust with your problems - and it\'s not as if you are paying them to listen\"........ but now imagine confessing all your innermost secrets to a pedophile in the next box......... ooops.... cast not the first stone but hope he catches this one in the head. And another thing (and please forgive this as I am in a giddy mood and that is most dangerous) but both today and yesterday when I saw \"Shortie\" the first imagine in my mind was a pair of boxer shorts........ why? Who knows but that somewhat set the tone for my replies...... you set me off!

Michael,

A heavy burden to bear!
It may never be unloaded...
...lest be defrocked!

I enjoyed the shortie along with your beautiful painting! Is that the same church you’ve depicted in other paintings you’ve posted?

A fine write and pic M. Some may gossip about others sins. Oohh. They want juicy details. It\'s naughty!

OMG you mean i must never go to the seaside again? The way gets much narrower upstream and i see hills ahead.
Did someone say that a lifetime against the flow will lead to a narrowing of ones prospects, or is it just ones outlook?

Sitting peacefully looking at the beautiful little cottage in the English field with a cup of coffee to elevate endorphins even higher than the picture can take us........ rapture.

A fine write M.
One day I will be \'short\', but I just keeps singing endlessly. Well, when I compose me poems anyway.
Aww, and why they flog that horse - it\'s dead! No use flogging that sort, as it\'s said!

\'Unsettled by truth\'... mind blowing line.
Oft i burn essential oils, too oft i burn the midnight oil.

Neville said:

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

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

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

CUTLETS errr COUPLETS (2)
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

HI MICHAEL ~ Missed your musings this week ! Love cutlets & rhyming couplets (double winny !) Your septet
of couplets put me in mind of some maxims:

MONEY : Love of is ~ ROOT of all Evil
NOAHS ARK : He forgot to take FISH
Men have been looking for the ever since !
EVOLUTION : Natures greatest myth
SEX : Independent of time
HARD WORK : Worth dying for
CASH : 19th C substitute for plastic
RULES : Made to be broken
more than once !

Yours as always BRIAN !

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.
