BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MICHAEL ~ Blank Verse Quintrains are like hens teeth ~ so I enjoyed these ! Both structurally and subject-wise ! It stirred the special feeling I get when i arrive at the Liverpool Waterfront by BOAT and gaze in awe at the Three Graces ! That is the Land I call my HOME ! I loved the starkness of the painting ~ it left everything to the imagination ~ AMEN Yours BRIAN

Absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. The third line carries the whole poem, making the other lines possible.
In my humble opinion, this is what masterful writing is all about.

A well executed write, Michael, as only one with your background might be inclined to produce. Reflecting experience, perhaps?

Ah clever use of clerical terms in this reminder that danger lies in speaking out of turn - ha - I just love that last line Michael.

Good write, we all open our mouths and sometimes wish the thought had come before the words.

Like the artwork very much.

Great poem, Michael. There are times when I realize right after I said it that it was definitely the wrong thing. I guess the lawyer in you is showing through a bit here, especially in the last line! :-)

Thanks MIKE for another excellent FUSION of POEM and PIC. Personally I have always found Country & Coastal Girls ~ very affectionate ~ especially \"Lassies from Rural Lancashire !\" In the scenario you mention I would refuse or defuse ~ but always FUSE ! Yours BRIAN

GROWING OLD - A FEW ONE LINERS

His brow was moderately wrinkled
as he sat in the cold and he tinkled
for the prostate you know
will slacken the flow
so stay young and don\'t ever think-old

GROWING OLD - A FEW ONE LINERS
FredPeyer said:

I go along with all four of your one-liners, except the hip thing. With me it is more of a belly thing.
Love \'age and sin...\', but we can still dream, can we?
Love the painting. Am amazed at how well you do perspectives and details, especially in a watercolor. The windows are exquisitely done, not easy with watercolors where you don\'t paint white and cannot really overpaint as in acrylics. Guess your engineering background is showing through a little bit.

Growing old is always better than the alternative. The wear and tear on the outside is not an indication of wear on the inside. We seem to gain perspective after the experience of age. Sometimes even new ways to look at life. A toast to experience my friend.

Great thought on the aging struggle Michael - love the painting too which will always have a special place in your home I would imagine - a wonderful space in which to exchange marriage vows - - -

I\'m having a real fight keeping the weight down - have a 20 minute routine every morning which gets me out of breath and eat sensibly but it\'s still a struggle. Cheers Andy.
