Super artwork Michael. As you know I really do enjoy your abstract works, to me I can read so much into them.

The \'finger\' seemed to catch on quite quickly and somehow has replaced the good old Brit V sign - no not Winnies version.
High five has i guess pros and cons for replacing the pat on the back jesture. With so much trash american TV coming U.K. way is it any wonder?

Erm, I read a book \'The Road Less Travelled\'. I thought \'If I could understand this book more, I would know which flipping road the author is encouraging us to travel on!\' It was bit heavy going in places. Was that why it was less travelled?! doh!
Then I resorted to a song - arggh! \'One more step along the road I go...... Keep me travelling along with you\'.

BREXIT - THE VIEW LESS EXPRESSED
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks MICHAEL ~ I voted to remain because Science especially Research benefits much from the Wider perspective of being an integral part of Europe and not just an isolated and insular ISLAND. I love every inch (or should that be centimeter ?) of EUROPE. I was born a EUROPEAN ~ I am a EUROPEAN and in 2083 I will die as a CENTENARIAN EUROPEAN ~ David Cameron (if he is ever found) should be hung drawn & quartered for ever mooting BREXIT ! Thanks for caring ~ love the SEAT & COLOUR Yours BRIAN (Remainer in case you didn\'t notice)
ANGELA being half-Spanish is also a REMAINER. Please check on Angela\'s poem today ~ NEW ZEALAND IS CALLING ME ~ Thanks B !

Being one of \'The Older Generation\' we are getting blamed for everything as we were fortunate enough to live in a time when we could work, as I have said before I worked my forty seven years and one month without ever being out of work, paid all my dues and those dues are now paying for some of my retirement years.
Personally I voted to stay in Europe as I believe the world should combine as one unilateral nation where there is agreement with all and wars are a thing of the passed. I realise that this is a dream which I will never see in my earthly life but I can dream.
No more politics, did you do the wine in the conservatory justice yesterday Michael.

Thanks M. Did you have any pain before you gained that seat? Did ya hit your hand with a hammer and say \'Drat\'?! Being very English, we can\'t say more. Or was the seat already made, and ya painted it up?

A conundrum. Does \'now\' always become \'then\' later on? And can \'then\' refer to past and to future?
Similar to \'Does tomorrow ever come; when it get\'s here. it\'s today\'
I\'m going off to look for tomorrow!You seen it anywhere?

Yes I am like that, a rhyming poem in my case is probably a bit of luck.
The table and chairs look good but surely a bottle of wine and two glasses are missing!

THANKS MICHAEL ~ For a neat SEXTET derived from your 25 Outakes (or variations thereof ~ now allowed since 911).
18 ~ 24 ~ 11 ~ 4 ~ 19 ~ 7
Rather like a \"Poetry by Numbers\"
or Computer Generated Poetry !
Here is my QUATRIAN ! 25~5~10~14
A Man denied of Books
In airless rooms with windows shut
But soon the calm must come
From the depths of discomposition !
Yours stimulated ~ BRIAN the BARD

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.

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 !

Love the painting and your idea of the outtake folder! Iām looking forward to the poem youāll derive from it!
This approach reminds me a bit of the ābrainstormingā of ideas for writing that I used with my elementary school students! It was a group activity...
promoting self confidence!
