WOW UNCLE MIKE : You and Brian are always teaching me new poetic FORMS ! Its 11 pm (Thursday) so Im catching up in MPS before I hit the SACK ! I love this form because : like me : its Trim & Slim ! It is OBVIOUS but also SUBTLE ! Spring : Summer (x 2) Summer : Autumn (x 2) Autumn : Winter (x 2) and Winter : Spring (x 2) An OCTET of four DOUBLETS ! The Season is followed by a single word descriptor. Also the First Line & the Last Line must be IDENTICAL : I have a very analytical mind ! I have written mine to post tomorrow : please judge it on its structure ! I love all facets of MPS : it keeps me POETICAL ! Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Sorry I\'ve been off the radar for 48 hours - all those who read the comments under my last posting will understand why. Anyway I\'m back and as for this posting it\'s yet another form I have devised and and is a good filler-in when you have just a few moments to spare. The \'rules\' are so obvious it\'s not even worth explaining them. Let me know what you think.

Michael,

As I was reading this masterfully penned poem, it made me think of “The Man In The Iron Mask”! An outstanding write!

Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Michael, this poem is excellent. To date, I don\'t believe you\'ve written one better.

Yet, who is this man? Did he live in ancient Rome? One can only guess.

Perhaps this mystery man is Socrates - Mamertine Prison, ancient Rome? Yet, I do not know if he was denied reading material.

Great write, Edward. :-)

A fine summary of attention paid to the words those whom the world deemed best forgotten . A chill runs through every line Michael as we put ourselves into the places of vaults and chains.

Ah, the thinker who spoke his mind to the wrong persons. People who heard but did not listen.
I\'m left wondering about \"No empathetic thoughts are stretched
in sympathy with his domain\". Does that refer to his own thoughts or the thoughts of others?

Your words draw a picture as clear and beautiful as the sketch above despite the stark subject. Great work.

I love the imagery you create with this piece.

My empathetic thoughts were stretched to this figure \'with nails that pierced his white clenched palms\'

Honey bunny swears shes funny and giggles in her burrow.
Here and now swears he\'s a plough and buried in his furrow.

Thanks for brightening up my day.

Michael,

Very amusing!
I hope Hairy Clare doesn’t catch a cold!

Love your drawing! It reminds me of my great grandparents’ estate where beyond that gate were many cows grazing! Beautiful memories!

THANKS UNCLE MIKE : For another Dotty Ditty ! UK poetic humour is often misunderstood once you\'re outside the Fishing Zone which is one of the 1001 reasons for BREXIT : We\'re Happiest when we\'re INSULAR (although I do value \"Mi sangre Espanola !) Thanks for Pome \'n Pic: lovely :
LOVE ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
We are in VANITY FAIR with Pilgrims Progress today : please check Thanks !

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Gracias Tio Michael : You\'re in my Territory here and La Territoria Rioja de mi Padre ! I was weaned on Rioja Tinta and have visited the Vineyards with lots of Tastings & Tapas. Rioja y Cava (Spanish Champagne) are two of Spain\'s finest Wines. Thanks for your excellent endorsement. Being a Christian I do try never to be Drunk (3 large glasses of Rioja Tinta ?) but the Good Book does encourage us to \"Take a little wine for your tummy\'s sake\" and most Catholic Church Halls do have a licence and a Bar. For me an evening meal without Una Botella del Vino is NOT a meal ! Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Love the glass shaped ode and the charcoal pencil drawing simple but effective : ANGELA

Your poem stuck a chord with me as it made me think about how I always turn to nature and a walk in the hills and mountains of North wales I am feeling low . I always come back with a little hope and feeling better.
