Thanks MICHAEL for composing and sharing this excellent 6-6-2 Blank verse sonnet ! I can emphasise with the metaphor of Life & Sailing ! I was raised on the W Coast and live on the E Coast and have spent many hours \"messing about in boats\" I have lots of salt in my Blood Stream. Verse 1. When you are in mid-ocean ~ You always long for the shore Verse 2. WE learn more about the reality of life \"afloat\" than on the shore ! Verse 3. Sailors always believe the next cruise will be the BEST ! My Parents have a Patio outside the french Windows and this afternoon (55F) I enjoyed a Pot of Earl Grey and scones ! thanks for Sharing ~ BRIAN.

Michael,
A great sonnet! I love your garden...especially that view outside your studio! I can picture you and your wife sitting there enjoying your gin and tonic! Perfect pic! Thank you for indulging us with your beautiful pics and super writes! Enjoy your day at the rummage sale. I hope a lot of funds are raised for a very worthy cause!

Some vivid imagery there, I could see rough seas, though I am not sure I could paint them.

A fine write M. Sounds a bit hymnal. I could maybe turn it to a hymn-poem, if you wish?
We got a bit of rhubarb at back of our garden. You on that gin yet?!

Michael,
Thank you for the picture! Very colorful! I like the variety of flowers! Do the other borders have flowers also?
The epigram is hilarious! From reading all the comments, I see you got a lot of mileage out of that number three! I could make a joke, but I’ll restrain myself! I’ve enjoyed my first read of the day very much!
I’ll have my gin and tonic (one of my favorites) later on in the day! You said it needs to be made properly! What’s your recipe? Another favorite of mine is a very dry Martini!
Thanks again, Michael! You’re awesome!

If I wore them I would be singing castrato! Good fun write.
You need a small table next to that chair so that you can have a glass of something cooling standing on it while you sit and survey your estate.

One of the great things about daffs is that the different varieties all come into bloom at different times. Started in Feb with February Gold and I\'ve posted different varieties since then - today it\'s the turn of Ice Follies

Love the pithy fun in this Epigram - I think quite a few who think they sing on key sound like a Tom to my ears Michael. - that picture of Hyacinths is so clear I can breathe in their scent. Good work again.

Thanks MICHAEL ~ love the blooms ~ My MUM\'s are hya cinth I saw them on Sunday ~ It\'s the Rain. I\'m on holiday from College and it\'s sunny here (Essex) so I\'m reaching the parts if the Garden ~ She & Dad can\'t reach ! We only have grass round the flats but I have an indoor pot of HYACINTHS nice smell !
Our English Teacher taught us an EPIGRAM ~ Was like a TELEGRAM short but more PITHY ! At 14 we thought PITHY sounded like a rude lavatorial word ! Growing up was such fun ! Please check my latest POEM ~ There are TEN Mild epigrams ! Yours JOHN

Michael,
All I can say is...
Loved the pic and the epigram...thank you for the explanation! The rest has been well said by Lorna! She must have be a professional editor...and a great one at that...infusing comedy into her comments! I love it!
The comments amongst you, Lorna, Gold, and Orchi are very entertaining! Great reads! Thank you!

Michael! And your explanation is longer and much more serious than the poem..... I laughed! If you see Orchi\'s entry this morning, after the organ plays another video title appears \"How to Fix Flat Singing\" - that just set me off and I\'m giggling myself silly (er)..... you three are a riot.......Oh! And I have a hyacinth growing in the middle of some snowdrops (who appear to migrate every year and show up in a new place)........ it\'s a bloomin\' miracle......
