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!

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
Please check the A & B collaboration POEM - TA

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.

Michael - Flavours are nonsense when serving good coffee - I love the lament when your verse describes murder by \"quirky machines\" - - - - - simply water -immersed for me - with a little cream sometimes but never sugar.......... gorgeous picture again - clever you.

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!
