what symmetry with your artwork and words, dear Poet
\'I might be the only one
but in your art
I can make out, half
of a soaring bird, wings stretched gracefully
and the other half, burdened with
a high peak, grounded mountain obstacle..
resonating, with those moments
of life
where opportunity greets
inside
the doors to our caged existences...\'
(lol
reading back my words, I sound so absurdly pretentious
but I\'ll keep this, maybe
there\'s something here beyond my comprehension)
such a great write!

Ah, the story of many a poor innocent human thrust into a dysfunctional world without any choice in the matter.
Limerick away, Michael - all manner of truths may surface in a few succinct lines.....😊

Very expressive and truly crafted finely. I enjoy the images your presenting and the final line is an expression very direct and poignant. \"In sacrifice of sentiment\" 💖

Okay, get this folks .. Having been born in Northants, which is just about as far from the sea as ya can get on this here Island of ours (sorry for those who live outside, you will just have to imagine it) .. and my only son being born in Leicestershire ......... (same thing in brackets really) .. I was first compelled to savour Mr. M. Edwards cartoon sketch before moving on to the limerick he pinned up there ............. Now given the info I have shared with you guys & galls ... & for no end of obvious and less obvious reasons, that most definitely aint a scribbled J.S pun .. I have to tell you all Limerick # 90 is absolutely spot on ................ Bloomin well limmed MIchael ................ N :)

In the flat up above dont you know
Theyre aware of the peeing below
to show their bad feeling
punched a hole in that ceiling
stuck their bum through and let one go!

as fast as you like - in a wink
Ealing was full of the stink
the air had turned foul
dogs started to howl
and the tellies all went on the blink

the worker was hauled up in court
for the occasion when he was caught short
to pee on the ceiling
was the wrong place i\'m feeling
for a bladder containing one quart

he didnt half feel unwell
when they hauled him off to a cell
like little jack horner
he peed in the corner
and emptied his bowels as well

the gov\'ner would have none of this
the worker was takin the piss
whilst you\'re in prison care
we\'ll have none of that here
but from his trousers there came a loud hiss


don\'t get me started....

Michael,

‘Closed minds have no sight.’
So true…
‘closed minds’ will never see;
but, of course, that is never you.☺️

Love the painting.
Thank you for sharing.

L. B. Mek said:

forgive my rudeness, Michael
I meant no disrespect, initially
your art took me
to seashore rock faces
and then your words inspired me
to pen a little poetic reply..
thanks for sharing, dear Poetic Artist
such work of deeply insightful commentary..
(hard to budge
dense stubbornness
but formed of, of
survival\'s, pure minerals
so they know
change, is inevitable
but those humane Truth\'s
of life
can never be negotiated,
so let progression\'s moss
cover
and seasonal raindrops
bombard:
\'Rocks wet and shining
Unseen by those who won’t see
Closed minds have no sight.\')
