Words do hurt and love can heal. However, often they leave a scar that can never be removed. Great write!

A true write Michael. So \'names can hurt us\'. It\'s not just \'sticks and stones may break our bones\'.
Difficult if someone is an insensitive non \'people-person\'.
Some leaving do\'s at work were a bit icy with the manageress present. They left her out of staff Christmas do\'s. heehee. Sounds cruel, but you don\'t know how horrid she could be.

Perfect statements for the form chosen - and a lovely reminder too that love can heal even the worst hurts. Thanks for sharing the flower picture too Michael - first class tanka.

Nice flow and very descriptive. Great job Michael. Although I feel bad for the mermaids gasping for air. Beautiful pic. Your garden must be quite an Eden.

Michael,
An excellent write with super metaphors!
“wrought iron skies”,
“sheet steel plays make believe”
Bravo Maestro!
Nice pic of the beautifully
colored digitalis/foxgloves!
Such interesting names!
I can see the commonality!
Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful poem Michael..... the mermaids trapped in the greyness of the ocean - perfect for broken dreams...... I can\'t keep foxglove growing.... it simply disappears without a trace.......

Thanks for sharing MICHAEL ~ Love the FOXGLOVES such an elegant Belfry of Pink Bells. A Poem about DIGITALIS would make an elegant addition to my NEW FUSION or whatever Flower you choose ~ but hurry only 14 slots left before CURTAIN !
Love the PATHOS bursting from your two perfectly balanced QUATRAINS ~ another GEM ~ Thanks BRIAN !

Wonderful write Michael, this is one that goes into my favourites, I don\'t do that very often.
So you cultivate strychnine do you, I will have to be careful with my comments!

There was this bloke called John Major (left the circus to become an accountant - true) who failed the nation one day when the ERM backfired on UK and interest rates went through the roof overnight. Mortgage payments trebled, houses were repossessed, Disposable income became a thing of the past. As a self employed tradesman at that time my income quickly fell to zero. Nobody could afford to have any home improvements.
I know all about being a debtor. A position my government put me in.

GOOD MORNING MICHAEL ~
NEITHER A BORROWER NOR A LENDER BE ~
FOR BORROWING DULLS THE EDGE OF HUSBANDRY !
So wrote the BARD and it still is a fave quote of my Mum\'s ! Unlike so many of my PEERS (30 - 40\'s) I am totally solvent and always clear my cards every month ! OK I\'m still single etc but even when I have a mortgage (that does not count as a Debt in my book) and an ANGELIC Wife and Kids etc ~ I resolve NEVER to be in debt and always to live within our income(s). I blame the \"buy now pay later\" Society and easy credit. I have known people whose debt has led to divorce and even worse suicide ~ When will they ever learn ~ When will they ever learn ! Thanks for adding to my FUSION ~ please check my poem today it is dedicated to STEVE (ORCHIDEE) an excellent MPS Friend to all ! Love CHRYSANTHS ~ a tad early this year ~ There is photographic evidence that my Mum had GOLD chryanths as her wedding bouquet and she has them in her garden ! Loved your Poem an\' Pic ~ BRIAN I am posting a FUSION on FLOWERS tomorrow ~ If you post a POEM I will change the picture ! Yours BRIAN

We had a manageress. Mostly a complete *****. Within a few months of arriving, she said \'Well, I would advise you lot to search for new jobs soon\'. She may have mis-used our wages too, but we shall never know the truth now. I\'ve heard two sides of it.
Her husband is a church Minister - but there you go! Have to move on from that now.

A fine write and pic Michael. I know - I see some homeless in town, some with dogs too. This shouldn\'t be my first thought, but I may think \'I hope the dog will be all right!\'
Sometimes we may blame ourselves if it wasn\'t our fault that we got into debt, or whatever problem it may be.
