And did she swoon? \'To see his Bunsen, eh?!\' Well, that was her excuse, and she is sticking to it! We\'ll believe her, though thousands wouldn\'t. lol.

POETICAL OUTTAKES
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

HI MIKE ~ BRIAN HERE AGAIN ! I\'ve selected 5 of your outtakes for My Little Black Book ~ look out for them !

Words unsaid by strangers
Fortified by principle
Like melting crowns that fall on fire
The lonely path weaves down
A man denied of books

Here are some of mine ~ all scientific
His Bunsen still burned brightly ~ when ignited
Elizabeth was more an Enigma than an Enzyme
The union was doomed to failure. She was EXOTHERMIC ~ He was decidedly ENDO !

ABSTRACT POETRY ~ Like Abstract Art ~ is a genre of Modern Poetry i.e without REASON ~ OK ~ Some MPS Poetry is ABSTRACT !

Thanks for posting BRIAN.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

GOOD AFTERNOON MIKE ~ i WAS BUSY THIS MORNING ~ So now (after SOUP & SANI) I have a little time to devote to MPS. I found your \"LIST\" interesting ~ the MUSE is stirred by WORDS (and spawns words) it is also stirred by Visual Images and (less so) by Sounds & Scents. Structured Poetry has Rules & Constraints (so it is useful to store \"phrases\") Modern Poetry has NO RULES so such store would be useless. Because You are a WORDSMITH I have selected some for my own collection (we all have a \"Little Black Poetry Book\") ! Love the picture full of 19th C charm !

Michael,

So glad...
“He went and did it.”!!

Such a handsome couple!
54 years..that’s awesome!
“The sags and wrinkles” mean nothing! It’s the lasting love that matters!

Michael,
Love the painting and your idea of the outtake folder! I’m looking forward to the poem you’ll derive from it!

This approach reminds me a bit of the “brainstorming” of ideas for writing that I used with my elementary school students! It was a group activity...
promoting self confidence!

I too have a file of ideas that were never brought to fruition. This reminded me of a poem that I wrote many years ago and I will put on here to today.

Hmm, a fine write M. But I don\'t know, can\'t comment much on this style. I tend to use all my lines there and then. Well, I make deletions and alterations as I go along. Not that many, to be honest, when I get in the flow of writing!

They said it was IMPOSSIBLE
But MARIE CURIE was UNSTOPPABLE
So with PIERRE\'S smart proclivity
They solved the mystery of ...........

TO SLEEP
Goldfinch60 said:

Very good write Michael. I can fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
The discussion about the painting is interesting as I believe this one or one very similar has been posted before, or was that one of a pub. No matter it is always good to see your art.

TO SLEEP
Laura🌻 said:

Michael,

Love the painting! The pastel colors are very pleasing to the eye!
I believe you posted this one with another poem. If I remember correctly, I think there’s a second painting you posted about the same subject!

As far as sleeping patterns, I’m glad I don’t have any issues with that...yet!
I love how you weaved the words DELTA, ALPHA, BETA into your poem!

orchidee said:

A fine write and pic M. Yes, the two buildings on either side are played down well, with the lighter tones. I think.
Doh! I gotta study a bit of Greek now, before I know what sleep patterns I\'m having. Can one dream in Greek?! You asleep now, and can\'t reply yet?

A fine write Michael. I forgot what dryads are!
You got any little acorns? From them mighty oaks grow, as is said!

Beautiful write Michael, love the last line.
\"where dryads seek their sanctuary.\"

I am still giggling at your clever image - small is big to a palette like yours Mike - -- as for cloud numbers I favour the nine for drifting me into my own little paradise. Great stuff.

THOUGHTS OF DEATH (2)
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

A MAN lay down by a SEWER
And by that SEWER died
At the Coroners inquest
They called it SEWERSIDE !

Thanks for another Poeme de Morte ~ very droll
My COMPUTER does not have a CELESTIAL KEY
Perhaps one day it will~ a direct line to JEHOVAH !

Yours as always BRIAN.
