Ha - Reading this makes me want to try for myself the mysteries of painting with almost no symmetry Michael - - the picture you chose as an example shows your mastery over this method of self-expression. Wonderful idea to post the work in in stages and almost a masterclass in itself.

Had to look back to this posting to see the first stages your mind made in both writing and painting - a most interesting journey for readers to make with you Michael - thanks for sharing the ways to succeed with the rhythmic skills of Chinese Brushwork

This will be good.

I have tried to do calligraphy with brushes in the Chines style and failed miserably, I\'ll stick to dip pens.

Yes trees are stationary, but have much to say if one chooses to listen. Great write Michael.

Louis Gibbs said:

I too compulsively edit and rewrite my poems before publishing them. Makes for a better write, doesn\'t it.
This is a fine example of that, Michael. You took us on the journey home with you. Beautiful!

Think I\'ll change the word \'weathered\' for \'noble\' - yes that sounds better. Happy now

orchidee said:

Good write and pic Michael. Well, Santa\'s looking down - the chimney? Note my \'dash\' there. they can give longer pauses than commas, then a \'punchline\' may follow. All very technical!
I dunno poetic styles. I\'m too un-cultured. I dunno about iambic-wotsits anyway. I probably use them without knowing it! Ooh, a hyphen there too! lol.

A FEW COUPLETS

Great set of couples! I’m particularly drawn to the first! Semblance of innocence and independence!

Love the season-appropriate drawing, Michael. I favor the fourth couplet, for the tender story it portrays.

POETRY IS.....RECEIVED BY LISTENING EARS
FredPeyer said:

You truly are an incredible poet, Michael! And this poem proves it.

PS: I too had to look up the word
\'prosody\', but since I don\'t seem to be the only one, I don\'t feel bad about it anymore.

A FEW COUPLETS
orchidee said:

Good writes and pic Michael. The second one is my favourite.
Here\'s my version of it:
\'His words were booed
Cos he turned them all into song\' (caterwauling). lol

Food for thought in some of these clever couplets Michael - love the final one about looking forward. Great work.

Never knew that is why people do that. Makes perfect sense!
Cute limerick, Michael.

Very clever limerick. I\'m blind as a bat, so it\'s either contacts or wearing glasses---the right way, lol! Also, a beautiful painting to accompany your limerick!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

There was a Young Girl from Hawaii
Who was extrovert
And far from SHYII
With a smile kool & pert
She pulled up her grass skirt
And showed me her HUMGAGAWAII

Thanks MIKE for another
Enigmatic Limerick 40+ !
Yours BRIAN

Thanks for another great Rural WC !
