FROM PASSION TO ENCHANTMENT
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MICHAEL ~ The sphere of SENRYU
is infinite even stretching from
Passion to Enchantment !
No. 2 is my favourite I always exercise
Patience especially in LOVE !

I love the PULMONARIA the BLUE
ameliorates the GREEN !
I once went down with PULMONARIA
But apart from a WHEEZE
I\'m fully recovered !
Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN !

FROM PASSION TO ENCHANTMENT
orchidee said:

A fine write Michael, if we ever get past the first line: \'Uncontrolled passion\'. Swoon! lol.
Some poets get niggly when I put \'alway\' instead of \'always\'. It can be poetic licence, to get something to rhyme with \'say\', \'day\', etc.

Good senryu write Michael.

Just one thing the second line of the first senryu should it be unwelcomed, there is no d on the word.

THANKS FOR REMINDING US MIKE ~ The whole World\'s a Stage and we mere players ~ BUT ~ We all need an audience ! Consequently a POEM is not a POEM until it is read and its not christened until it\'s recited to at minimum of at least one listener ! A \"sans mot\" Cartoon of course is not a Cartoon until it has been seen etc ! I have small group of MPS friends who both read and comment on my Odd Odes (and v.v) 5 is a good score and (these days) 10 exceptional ! I used to be on a Poetry Programme where the number of comments was flagged up ! If I saw one with ZERO comments I always added ONE to encourage ~ OK ~ Your Friend BRIAN ! Please check my Poem and my FUSION on Chocolate ! Thanks B.

orchidee said:

I knows it. I usualeee spots it when folk mackes spellyng misteaks. Though this may be correct for around the 11th Century spelling!
Someone might get technical, and say it\'s some \'perfect tense\' or whatever it is - spoke.
And why are they all tense, agitated, stressed?! lol.

A JOKE IS NOT A JOKE
Michael Edwards said:

You know the biggest turn-off for me when reading poetry is incorrect use of the language (unless of course it is intentional - written colloquially for example) and bad punctuation and yet here I am using \'spoke\' when it should be \'spoken\'. Heigh ho.

A fine write and pic Michael. Here\'s one from me: \'I Woz Ere\'. Well, it has three words, but I\'ve not quite got the hang of brevettes! lol.

Never come across brevettes but it is an interesting way to write and like those you have written can be very powerful in their brevity.
The flowers look wonderful.

Loved it, Michael!
You have Mrs. Brown and
we have Blanca...once she
gets my attention, she
never stops!
By the way, she’s the one
responsible for all the stray
cats in my mom’s neighborhood!
I enjoyed the read and the
beautiful daffodils!

\"She\'s Mrs Brown\"

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS MICHAEL ~ love PRIMULAS ~ colour & contour ! Love TANKAS (57577) Haiku & Senryu with attitude ! I have been doing talks on John Denver for Seniors (helps them to recall & remember) and it reminded me of ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH and my beloved Colorado in the Fall ! Yours BRIAN

Love the colors of those primulas. Your garden must be beautiful with all the different colors...
