Whilst trying so hard not to show it
Our chivalrous wordsmith the poet
Had stopped buying grass
It\'s a thing of my past
For indeed he\'s now known to grow it
(not bad for the spur of the moment)

Thanks MIKE ~ Love the STRUCTURE ~ Three neat quatrains with a discernible Rhyme (and half-rhyme) pattern abxc acxb acxb In line 3 I would replace \"societies\" with \"society\" for rhyme & flow ! The subject is quasi-political but (prenez gare) it hovered on the MODERN. I interpreted it as the essence and effluent of the UK & USA main Political Parties !
Marinate in Vanity (Conservatives) Bland Piety (Socialists) Naivety & no Sanctity (Trump Republicans) Equality, Populism, Dispersal of Power, savoured with Sanity (Democrats). Love the House-Boat could you build one for Angela & I to live in Auckland Harbour ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 😉 😉

Will common sense prevail? Are the roots of a political movement a moveable feast or cast in stone for any who wear a tie of allegiance.

Glad to see you\'re still kickin\'. Bit of old mind probing \"Hard to understand\" dramatization never hurt anyone. Politics don\'t mean much to me, but I see your point.

You in Rome or Greece? Pantheon - a Roman Temple. Parthenon - a Greek Temple?
The theme to me looks like what the world serves up to us, and its menu.
I\'m lost on the last verse. I\'ve blown a fuse thinking too much! lol.

Very clever write Michael, it needed to be read twice and like your abstract artwork there is more in it the more you read it.

Thanks UNCLE MIKE: Your triplet accurately describes the state of my Heart knowing that on Saturday (its already 7:30 am THURSDAY here) MY BRIAN will be flying 11,500 miles away from me and I\'ll be \"Alone again Naturally\". Trouble is he is a key cog in the Science Faculty Engine and must be there : Suited & Booted on Monday @ 8am : so even all My Feminine Charms cant keep him here! However he does have an interview with the Professor of Applied Science @ Auckland University on FRIDAY : Hope springs eternal ............ ! Love the model, BRIAN likes to work in 3D. Is that your Holiday Home in Cornwall ? Love your postings ~ A Blessing : Love ANGELA XXXX

Oh I agree that love can be torment when its unfettered force uses no thought. Great piece of wisdom on which to ponder dear friend.

Great poem capturing the torment in unfettered love.
Did you swim around Aphrodite\'s rock before collecting your wood for the house?

PLASTIC WASTE
dusk arising said:
Of great concern is the miniscule plastic particles in the food chain. Fish intake these particles ruining their digestion, whales too, the birds feeding upon the fish and feeding their young with them... plastics are killing us.
Visible are the piles of plastic waste washed up on our shores - a disgrace.
We should be finding alternatives and seriously taxing plastics before it is too late for planet earth.
Great provocative piece sir!

Brilliant last line Michael.
The style of the artwork is different to your previous abstracts but once more there is so much in them that conjures images in my mind. (There must be a poem there)

Okay I know botox has a bacterium as its basis but the effects look very plastic and unnatural - why do they do it?

Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ The benefits of a classical education ~ alas now only available in Public Schools (rite of passage of the privileged classes) and Grammar Schools (rite of those with intelligent & astute parents). Dry Garden / Herbarium That like a forgotten rose petal ~ Preserved indeed between the pages ! A great thought for the day. Please check \"I left my Heart in Auckland City\" ~ Thanks ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA in BAY of ISLANDS (NZ).

I\'M A LONER
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
HI MIKE ~ very droll ! Being a SCOUCER I\'m just the opposite (think KEN DODD) and I love a Party and I\'m well known for being able to talk to anybody of any nationality on any Subject. I can hold a conversation in Spanish French Italian & German which is a help especially if one is on a Table on a Cruise with non-English Speakers (there are some). Al Scientists are very well versed in the Arts & Sport etc so we can talk about the Colonisation of Mars as well as Gauguin & Bach & Manchester United or American politics etc. Being brought up in Liverpool helped because it is a very articulate City and Ken Dodd is one of our more introspective Citizens. Of course being a Trained Teacher & A Preacher & A Public Speaker & Entertainer (Angela & I even do Flamenco Dancing to entertain the Seniors) all helps. But you and I complement each other which is good. My ART is a JOKE ! Thanks for sharing BRIAN.
