FOG
Lorna said:

Well Michael I have seen every Sherlock Holmes movie and Jack the Ripper and they are always moving through the \"Impenetrable fog\"........ it\'s actually amazing that it was reversed! It must have been a bit frightening! Oh and loved the verse!

FOG
FredPeyer said:

Beautiful writing again, Michael. Makes me remember the foggy days in November in Zuerich. Don\'t have much fog here in Hawaii. Sometimes just a little bit hanging in the valleys in early morning.

RISING PAIN
FredPeyer said:

Don\'t believe everything you hear, it might pain you.....as perceived by the one who lives along a remote, but not so responsive shore.

You got the title wrong mate, this should be called dusks kitchen. We use a smoke alarm as an oven timer.

A fine write M.Never knew there was so much in fog! Maybe because I could not SEE anything in the fog! heehee.

RISING PAIN
dusk arising said:

How often we pick up the signals missed by those involved who may be blinded by their love and devotion. Hope i read this convoluted tale correctly. Very subtle.

I keep on fighting for my breath and you keep on walking! Looks like we both had the same thing in mind, but you said it more beautifully and eloquently. Well penned, Michael!

TRUE HISTORY
FredPeyer said:

Oh, I agree so much with you here, Michael. If we look at documented history, we only see a very small slice of what happened, and since history is written by the winners, we cannot be sure it is not distorted. Maybe the history pieced together by archaeologists is the \'true\' history.
Well written and thought provoking poem!

LOVE IS...etcetera
Jamie said:

You deceived me, I was going in for a sad read about love, and I came out with the corners of my mouth wrapped around the top of my head!

Lorna said:

I love your use of colors in the pic but I adore you landscapes! Nighttime can go so many ways - scary or romantic or mystical...... it depends on how we crank our minds doesn\'t it!

BENEATH THE WANDERING STARS
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MIKE ~ I was born under a wandering star but have to settle as an \"Essex Boy\" for the next few years In essence all visual ART is abstract because it is \"absracted from reality\" Some of course is further removed from reality than other. I like CUBISM because you never completely lose sight of the \"subject\". Thanks for highlighting visual Art. Love the Poem ~ it provides thought for food ! Yours Abstractedly BRIAN

Great imagery and super write on what beliefs do to the psyche. The picture I put a question mark by - -I guess I love your water-colour villages too much.

orchidee said:

A fine write and pic Michael. Ohh I got no time for superstitions. I can\'t spend all me life avoiding walking in front of black cats; not stepping on lines on the pavement; not crossing on the stairs, etc! lol.

thoroughly enjoyed this verse.

TRUE HISTORY
Lorna said:

I have this uneasy feeling about the \"great\" characters in history. One the one hand of course they are presented as what has made up the world......... and make terrific reading....but then if you examine, how many were not obsessed with themselves and giving little thought to the people they affected. The everyday people are the ones that had to make the most of what was done to them......

TRUE HISTORY
burning-embers said:

Ah the lies of history. In text books it truly lies, then lies on the lips of everyman. And history lies to the leity. Mostly history recounted lies for it is the history of the vanquishers choosing not the truth. History = a weapon of mass deception.
Very thought provoking piece ME

TRUE HISTORY
Laura🌻 said:

Michael,
A thought provoking write with a poignant illustration! Personally, I have much to ponder upon...
Ordinary lives that were snuffed in three minutes! Their history has been decided!

TRUE HISTORY
Goldfinch60 said:

Very true but what we also need to realise is that history is written by the winners, what if the losers were right.

Love the drawing.

A fin and true write Michael. We\'re blessed with this country with the monarchy though, I feel, compared to some places.
