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.

THANKS MIKE ~ HOW WE TURN OUT at say 21 ~ is a combination of NATURE (genetics) & NURTURE (environment) and even monozygotic TWINS reared apart show great similarities ! That is explored in the DRAMA ~ Blood Brothers ! I have lots of traits of my Birth Parents and Angela\'s Parents are lovely just like Her ! Love the Narcissi ~ Please check MLK ~ Thanks Brian.

Michael,
Love the pic of your ice follies and your fine epigram! Your garden must be so colorful. Can you take a pic of your entire garden and post it?

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

Learning comes from others and your errors - it is called experience. Good write Michael.

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......

FROM PASSION TO ENCHANTMENT

I like the senryu formats, especially the last one. Beautiful pictures! Keep sending them, I\'m stuck in winter!

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.

Goldfinch60 said:

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.

A JOKE IS NOT A JOKE
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

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.

Mrs. Brown may be the downside to charming little villages! Where do you go to get away! Loved your new style Michael!

A BEVY OF BREVETTES
Lorna said:

Hmmmmm I\'ll have to see if my garden zone will support hellebores! They are lovely........and your brevettes are bravo!

The hellebores speak! And why am I laughing?

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.
