Fine writes and pic Michael. No one is alive in soap operas. They\'re all made of wood - in their acting!

Two good ones Michael. I do like the second one better as that could apply to many of us.

Where Have All The Poets Gone?
Goldfinch60 said:

Yes this happens but I will not be moving on, I will still post every day and hopefully the other poets will return.
As you say a classic song written by Pete Seeger in 1955, the song was extended in 1960 to complete the round by Joe Hickerson and Pete Seeger\'s version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1964.
The Joan Baez version was first sung in German but she did sing it in English as a tribute to Pete Seeger.

I have been wondering the same thing. I have myself been writing less but I\'ve noticed a complete absence of other poets that used to be regulars. And they are missed! Glad you brought it up!

Where Have All The Poets Gone?
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS FOR THE WARNING MICHAEL ! This happens on all Poetry Site ~ they reach an apex and then fall away ! I try to welcome & encourage new Poets but there are very few (like you & I) who aim to post every day and post actual POETRY with Rhyme ~ Rhythm ~ Rational and share Classical Forms like Sonnets ~ Villanelles ~ Haiku etc to educate & entertain ! We\'re not wasting our time because something rubs off on everyone and some have asked me to edit drafts ~ which is a great honour. What I dislike most is when the EDITOR just decides to close it down and it all disappears ! Including yourself I have about TEN cyber Poetic Friends on MPS and I would be sorry to lose then overnight and them me ! It is a good site with a lot of mutual respect & exchange ! We all have to keep active but realistic ~ Yours BRIAN

I feel like brighter poets, I know that! Not in intelligence sort of brightness. And yet it helps to express negative, downcast, depressive, etc emotions. (Well, don\'t read those sort of poems then, Orchi! doh!)

THE SILENCE BROKEN
Pintu Mahakul said:

Septolet style of writing poem is definitely interesting. The canopy of green in silence motivates mind and does magic. Sometimes natural sound breaks silence but this is pleasurable. This poem is really excellently penned.

IN MOSS AND SWAMP
Pintu Mahakul said:

A land of mediaeval dreams is a land of purple path and this has revealed greatest joy in life through perception. A pitcher plant in mossy swamp amazes mind. This poem is really very interestingly drafted with rich imagery and we get a clear essence with great imagery. This poem is excellent poem.

THANKS MIKE ~ A Pitcher Plant is carnivorous and traps insects for food ! They are also inhabited by FAERIES ! I love mediaeval fantasy poems and this is a good example ! Your metre is impeccable and there is sufficient rhyme & half rhyme to make it smooth to both read and recite ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN

A fine write and pic Michael. Mediaeval - would that be around 1066? If so, I know it well. Or is that too early for it?!

orchidee said:

CCOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (shouts in capitals). My version of \'The Silence Broken\'. Very short poem of one word there. Hope it\'s not plagi-wotsit, you know, that long word that sounds like \'plague\'

Michael,
Thank you for another awesome cartoon! I must admit, I didn’t know much about the characters! I’m really enjoying them along with the Septolet!

Very true write Michael, trying to put socks on can be hard as well, luckily in this hot weather no socks are needed with sandals.

A PAIR OF SOCK COUPLETS
dusk arising said:

My damaged lower legs
are such an awful sight
i\'m loathe to expose them
in even darkest of night

for i\'m an exception
to your sartorial rules
lest i attract unwanted attention
from hoi polloi fools

THE LADY DRESSED IN BLACK
Laura🌻 said:

Michael,
Exquisite painting and verse!

It is sad and frustrating losing a loved one when least expected! No matter how many times we visit their grave, there’s always a void...a constant void that gnaws at me!

My wife often reminds me of it with our son when getting him dressed. No socks since he\'s wearing his sandals.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Socks come in PAIRS
The law declares
So what a shock
TO find in MY SOCK DRAWER
A SINGLE SOCK !

Thanks MICHAEL ~ very droll ~ also love the reprise of BARRINGTON

Another reason why I believe the Female of the species (FEMO SAPIENSSE) is much more superior to the Male ~ is summer dress ~ ALL Ladies manage to look stunning (Especial Ladies Day @ the races !) and Ladies are even more beautiful AL NUDO ! men in SUMMER TRIBAL COSTUME all manage to look like merde ! Thanks BRIAN !
Please check \"GIVE THANKS\" and please add a POEM to FUSION ~ HOLIDAYS Offer closes in 15 days ~ B !
