Oh lol, good writes Michael. I wrote literally one or two poems around 1992, then not much until about 2010 onwards, except special occasions.

Ohh it\'s all too much for me! I\'m swooning at words like \'importunate\'. Only cos I dunno what it means! Swooning at anything over, oh about 3 syllables long.

Ooh I dunno Michael. Brian has explained \'enigma\'. *Dashes off to look up idiosympathetic*. 7 syllables there. That could take up a whole line of one of my poems!

FredPeyer said:

I think, Michael, that this is the best of the three missing lines poems.
But where are the lines in your painting? Did you paint them over?

You quite nailed this mathematical poem. Too early in the morning for me to count anything!
The painting seems to be a departure from your usual style, you are really very gifted, Michael!

Where in the world do you come up with so many formal structures of poetry, Michael? I had no idea. This one is intriguing, and well done.

Good write and pic Michael. Oohh good, syllable counting! I shall probably think of a tune to this before long, though it\'s a bit of a tricky layout (metre). Well, use yards then Orchi!

Is the artwork another one of your styles, I like it.

Thanks MIKE ~ I correct GOLDIE ~ what he sees as an abstract I know to be photo of a FISH through the sparkling waters of the AVON \"The Chard of Avon !\" Loved all the M L\'s 3 ~ My fave has to be No. 5 ~ but I thought it was attributed to Harvey Smith \"My Kingdom fer An \'Orse !\" BRIAN \"Bard of Essex \"

What\'s this? Regarding number four ... A lawyer drawing conclusions obviously without having thoroughly examined the evidence? I would like my retainer back please, good sir.

Just messing with you, Michael. Off course we all are free to believe whatever we choose.

Oh heck, Michael, you did it again! This time you curved some the bard\'s missing lines in the painting as well as throwing us some curve balls in the poem.
You get a three chuckle for this from me!

Thanks MICHAEL ~ These are getting bluer & bluer ~ especially Nos. 3 & 5 ~ I\'m surprised Cardinal Orchi didn\'t demand an 18 for innuendoes ! Can\'t wait for tomorrow ! Yours BRIAN. Your abstract is an exact painting of the referees box (in which I have sat !) and the track ~ in our local VELODROME !
