While I love your poem, Michael, that fish thing for breakfast must be an English thing. But at least now I know what a kipper is!

One of the finest meals for breakfast are kippers.
Mind you you can hardly get them fresh as they need to relax first while they smoke.
Good fun write Michael, thank you for the morning laugh, your day has been a success.

Oh my... This reminds me of being picked up by a certain lady after a heavy night on the vino. I was definately flying that night, but ended up being fried.

Michael, I do like version 2 better than version 1 based solely on gut feeling. There is no obvious reason for me why one should be better than the other one, so sometimes we just have to go with our instinct.
And you are a lucky man to have so many worthwile objects to paint right in your neighborhood. Sometimes I do miss the history aspect of Europe.

They rising from the dead? Well, that\'s supernatural. I don\'t mean \'undead\' or zombies. My aim is to snuff out Halloween! heehee.

I think you wrote a poem here that could take up pages upon pages of comments and comments on comments! A sure sign of an excellent poem! And as so many of the other readers, I do like the last two lines. Am looking forward to your version 2.

The undead are stirring, marking the time of a new beginning. Sounds about right to me, this write. A thought provoking piece, Michael!

\"Moving clay,\" lays the groundwork (no pun intended) for so much more. I think many of us would want to know what happens next. Great write. Churchyard graves always seem more dramatic. Loved this one.-Phil A.

Nice writing Michael. So you don\'t believe in spirit? If so, it is an interesting point.

DE MORTUIS NIL NISI BONUM (Version 1)
rrodriguez said:

Enigmatic indeed, and philosophical in inquiry. But, I ask, how can you be a a realist to believe in phantoms which are elements of the supernatural. Death, along with all the other questionable happenings are in the realm of the supernatural, thus we must thread with caution in this pregnant realm of philosophy and the supernatural. The poem is cleverly constructed and well expressed. Enjoyed its enigmatic quality.

A classical piece with an extra- clever last line - super pencil-work too Michael.

THE AUTOCRAT
Fay Slimm. said:

The wry humour struck me in the final three liner \"Binding chains unlocked

Controlling influence gone

Freedom unshackled\" - this puts the true case for an Autocrat.

orchidee said:

A fine De Mortuis poem M. Mind you, I dunno what the title means! heehee. *gets out dictionary*. I read \' Always choose to subject reason to faith\'. I do tend to be rather \'blind faith\' at times, yet it\'s an inward assurance I would say.

THE AUTOCRAT
MendedFences27 said:

\"The Autocrat,\" in Haiku format. One can read the last word of each line and almost get a sense of its theme. Well done, very descriptive. The domineering one has finally passed and the clan is set free. We called my Grandmother, \"The Admiral,\" you didn\'t budge without her permission. Nicely captured our family\'s sigh of relief - Sadly. - Phil A.
