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?

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.

Very nice poem social interaction is like a meeting of people who know exactly what to say to be bothersome or noisy. Keep up the writing

Michael,

Not...
“A Loner”...
Just bored out of your mind!

Depending on the occasion, some social gatherings are exactly how you’ve described them...especially for my husband. He’ll avoid them whenever he can; except if it’s a golf social gathering.

Enjoy your afternoon.

Hope all those worms that early birds get do not mean their later brethren will have to go hungry.......... this read raised a big smile - - love it Michael.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MIKE for a \"Midweek Thought to Ponder !\" Saul of Tarsus exhorts us to \"Be transformed by the renewing of your MIND\" good advice. I clear my conscience every night and wake up with a Clear Head ! SOT also says \"This one thing I do ~ I clear my MIND & my CONSCIENCE of the negative things of the PAST ~ and PRESS ON to a brighter Future !\" Good advice or what ? Thanks for sharing YOURS BRIAN .

orchidee said:

A fine write M.
A shorter one. Victor Hugo, I think it was, once wrote a letter consisting of: \"!\".
The reply was equally short: \"?\".
That could teach us not to waffle.
You entertaining Miss Berles?

CLEAR CONSCIENCE
dusk arising said:

Several meanings come to mind. My chosen interpretation is of the \'emptyheadedness\' following the frustration which built up within until one finallyspoke/wrote the thoughts harboured for too long.
A clear/empty head having got it off one\'s chest.
