Very good couplets Michael.
We have a couple of those poppies in our garden - goodness knows where they came from!

It\'s funny, I have in my mind a memory of that place. But I\'ve never been there! Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks for SEPTOLETTING ~ Michael and the EUPHORIA (Freudian spello) to add a little colour for the workers ! Love the sentiment in the Poem reminds me of YESTERDAY 80+ F on the Essex Coast ~ even the SEA was warm ! I have written a MORPHIC Poem today to emphasis SHAPE ~ I was educated in a proper Secondary School where the SHAPE of a written poem was important. In JAPANESE HAIKU the visual impact is an important factor in the intrinsic beauty of the poem ~ I will present a DIABLO tomorrow ! Between us we may yet convince Members that the FORM of a POEM is just as important as its FUNCTION ! If it catches the EYE then it will engage the MIND ! Yours BRIAN

I\'m mad crazy about your sculpture here. In my deranged inner sight it represents existence, the circular representing an ageing \'being\' trapped between a \'chock\' and a hard place, all performed on an ever decaying plinth.

HI MIKE ~ You are a POETRY MASTER and I endorse your detailed memo differentiating between a HAIKU (Nature & Seasons) and a SENRYU (everything else !) many people call all 5 7 5 poems HAIKU which devalues the difference ! TANKAS (which have 31 syllables in a 57577 format) are H & S with attitude and can be on any subject ! H & S are often (deliberately) open ended the final two lines 7 7 are for explanation ! It is a poetic minefield ! I love the \"transience\" in your SENRYU ! When i visited the FLINTSTONES I saw a sculpting very similar to yours on the mantle-piece ! FRED told me it was called WHEEL \'N WEDGE and is a classic ! Thanks for caring about the Structure and Form of Written Poetry. For me as a Teacher of Poetry to Adult ~ Structure and Shape of a Written Poem (I can\'t understand why some on MPS present good poems as continuous PROSE ?) is important as is the Syllabus Pattern. Rhyme Pattern and Verse (Stanza) Length is also important for PRESENTATION & PERFORMANCE (Recitation) Poetry is ORAL and AURAL and (for me) Poetry Readings are always very fulfilling and exciting ~ Here endeth the Last Lesson ~ Yours BRIAN

Ohh, perceive, receive,.... \'i\' before \'e\' except after \'c. But why is it in \'seize\' but not in \'siege\'? Gotta lie down to recover after pneumo-wotsit. Used too many brain cells to say it! See ya in about 3 hours!

You being the \'first poet of the day\' again?! Was you two minutes late?! Published 00:02. Well, it would take 2 minutes to type it up! (Do shut up now Orchi, you\'re waffling!). heehee.

I\'m perceiving this is a fine write and pic Michael, though \'perceiving\' is rather a long word for this time of the morning!

Michael,
This exquisite write and line figures remind me of Cinderella at the ball dancing with the Prince!
I’m sure that’s not what you had in mind; but, as Hood told me once, there are as many interpretations as there are readers!
Loved the read and drawing! I’ve just framed it and hung it!

Your words create dance which induces confidence so clearly Michael - love the shady figure to illustrate this too. Super read.

A fine write Michael. I got me own \'problem\'. I\'m not one to dance really. Shall I go to a happy-clappy church (dancing available if wished!) or bit stiff-and-starchy one (don\'t anyone dare dance!).

LANTURNES BY THREE
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks MIKE for lighting the LANTURNES for us today ~ Lovely form ~ lovely trio !
Adam was a silly man
He gets no pardoner
Cos he was a GARDENER
He should have known
Life of a LEAF in the Fall is brief !
Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN !

Love the verse and sculpture Michael. I\'d take the wood version over the bronze and not because it was less $$. I believe it to be worth more as the original piece.

A fine write and pic Michael. Or in one case, in no poetic form:
A shower of incense at church
Covered us in a cloud
Couldn\'t see a thing
Brought on an asthma attack
For some poor soul
Sitting too near the front
And got the full blast of the incense!
