CONTAGION
dusk arising said:

Frightening yet quite natural. Reminiscent of my ex mother-in-law from whom there was no escape. Sooner or later one broke into a cold sweat of fear despite attempting the creation of a total exclusion zone. Gloved, suited and masked the transmission of the agonising symptoms always won through.
A timely amputation saved the day.

Very true Michael, but if we protected ourselves from contagion we would be cocooned in a lonely shell.

One martini will do for me!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

GOOD EVENING MICHAEL (its Tuesday here in NZ) Angela here. As a Physio & Masseuse & Reflexologist FEET are one of my meal tickets. In the Summer (its Winter here 50F) in the UK Ladies want to expose their NAKED FEET and they love Foot Massage & Pedicures. MEN NEGLECT THEIR FEET, specially in the Winter when they sleep in their socks! MEN & Ladies over 50 should see a CHIROPODIST about every two months and take his advice on socks shoes etc. Thanks for you amusing poem and letting the feet out of the sock! Love ANGELA XXXX Love your \'Village Scenes\' they make me HOMESICK!

Thanks MIKE ~ I\'m Young enough to go sockless with JC Sandals and often naked as nature intended. Because we cover PEDOLOGY in College I act as a Model sometimes and enjoy a full Pedicure & foot massage ! Thanks for opening PEDORAS BOX ! Yours BRIAN.

You composed a smell which pervaded the page dear Michael - with this little poetic acrostic outcry against too much entrapment for summertime feet. Great read.

Ooh I\'m off to the Co-op then, to get Odor-Eaters! Woof! \'Watchdog\' here, looking out for F\'s and B\'s. Biting anyone who does not mark poems 18+ if they need to. Or at last barking loudly at them.lol.

Lol. That\'s the time to throw those sneakers in the wash. Baby powder helps.

SWEATY FEET
dusk arising said:

ODOUR EATERS a possible cure?

Obnoxious pongs from
Dubious hygene
Other worldly indifference
Upstaging his aftershave
Rest rooms vacated

Emergency exits
Airways polluted
Tears fill the eyes
Escape now essential
Resistence impossible
Somebody tell him!!!!

Though it might be thought mandatory,
That post alcoholic oratory
Such verbal flow
Ought be kept in tow
For the expletives are self explanatory

I used to be a very heavy drinker, and suffered for many many years. the pleasure is not worth the fun.
I still drink today but have it under control.

THANKS MICHAEL ~ Lovely symbiosis of Poem \'n Pic as usual ~ you set a very high standard ! Your Village scenes remind me of the Cotswolds ! One of our Extended Family (Rich !) has a Cottage in STOWE where I often stay for the Sense & Sensibility.

dusk arising said:

For an experience, try out a \'concert\'/gig where caribbean or reggae music is played. You\'ll find a wholly different approach to audience participatiion. Mostly referee type whistles ae blown in rythmn and appreciation by enthusiastic fans whilst the band is still playing.
Joyous music which encourages one to moves ones body.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MICHAEL ~ Love the abstract it conjured up Chopin\'s Revolutionary as performed by JOHN LILL on our BECHSTEIN GRAND @ College ! I totally agree My Dad is an Amateur Concert Pianist & Church Organist and several of my Extended Family are classical musicians. I attended Classical Concerts @ Liverpool Philharmonic Hall when I was Young and my Dad always insisted I went dressed in my Sunday Suit and when \"To Clap or not to Clap ~ that was the question !\" My Dad was born in the 1950\'s but is a touch Edwardian like my Great Grandad (who died when I was a child) who was born in 1903 ! Pop concerts are wild (I blame Elvis & the Beatles) ! When we have JAZZ Concerts @ College there is an OPEN BAR and people walk in and out with a PINT which I deplore ! last time I visited the OPRY (Nashville TN) it was the Johnny Cash Memorial Concert (2003) orchestrated by KRISS KRISTOPHERSON ~ there was some Whoopin\' & Hollerin\' but also great respect and reverence because of the occasion. Country Music Concerts are generally more modulated than POP CONCERTS. Folk Music Concerts and Open Mic Concerts & Karaoke are CRAZY ! Yours Musically Nephew Brian ~ Please check my TIME BOMB (sorry POEM !) ~ Thanks B !

I agree. There is a time to applaud after the show. Otherwise it takes away from the performance. Great write.

orchidee said:

So you don\'t tune into \'common\' things like The X Factor? Far too common for you!
I understand - as Goldie says too. At some churches they request no applause, not even at the end of recitals.
But - either applaud or not. Not some feeble applause, as if clapping is just too much effort.
