A COUPLE MORE COUPLETS
SLR said:
Mankind\'s unrelenting obliviousness of the direct result of their actions. History repeats itself because humans never learn. A sad tragic truth of humanity. Pretty flowers. I\'ve never seen those. I\'m going to have to start saving your pics. I don\'t think we have those here.

The custom of ghosts - a haunting line indeed. Joking apart - very clever phrase.

Thanks for EDUCATING ~ Yours BRIAN ~ the recent heatwave (85F+ in Essex !) together with an abundance of Rain has really coaxed the Spring Flowers (wild and cultivated) out of their seeds !

I think you\'re very blessed to be able to show your unique view into the world by word and paint. We are artists of words but you are an artist by both. So blessed. Love this. You are right about artists seeing the world more clearly. More detailed. I\'ve noticed it before but you\'ve expressed it in your unique way. Love it.

The EYES of an ARTIST
The EARS of a COMPOSER
The NOSE of a PERFUMER
The VOICE of a Bel Canto SINGER
The MIND of a PROFESSOR
The DOUBLE-MIND of a POLITICIAN
The TOUCH of a LOVER !
You are an ARTIST Michael so see how you see
But promise to convey it to canvas then to MPS
So we can all enjoy it TOO ~ BRIAN
Thanks love the POEM & the PINK Fragaria

Turner comes to my minds eye.So much emotion in his moody seascapes. Colour of the wind indeed! I can almost feel it on my face.

That boat with no oars will find its way back! No doubt!

WORDS
SLR said:
Great message about the power and importance of words. I\'m a little obsessed about wanting to use JUST the EXACT word for every occasion. It\'s SO frustrating when I can\'t remember a particular word when I need it.

I really like the third and fourth lines. Weeping willows have always been a favorite of mine so I love how you worked them in. Very vivid pictures you paint for the mind. Great piece!

This is to encourage you. At an art show, two dogs made of materials were so life-like that a real dog started barking at them. They were allowed in the marquee on leads. Everyone laughed!

Erm, I\'m not lifeless on this Ascension Day. I\'m gonna defy gravity and take off to the clouds! I shall grow some wings first and be full of life!

More lifeless a land cannot be than this eerie verse paints dear Michael
A haunt of a read which pulls out all the stops on the abstract work above it..

Michael,
An intriguing poem!
As I read the title and the first three lines, I immediately envisioned the landscape in one of Mel Gibson’s Mad Max movies! I stopped reading and looked at the abstract! It didn’t match the landscape I was thinking of. As I continued reading, my envisioned Mad Max landscape changed to something totally different! After I finished reading the poem (twice), I understood the relationship of the abstract to the poem!
Powerful closing to your excellent poem...
“...from the path now scarcely found
which weaves its way to higher ground.”
An awesome read!
