Ahh, this explains my swoons. I remember hearing nursery rhymes like this when I was young - and up to about age 18. lol.

GUILT
myself and me said:
lovely paint, could be a nice place to visit. By watching the paint, it could unload the burden of guilty.

GUILT
Louis Gibbs said:
I fully appreciate the beautiful watercolor, Michael. I\'m a bit lost on the poem, however. Fred\'s comments helped a little, but it somehow doesn\'t register with me ... my shortcoming I\'m sure, and I apologize.
I will continue to ponder.

THE CONFORMIST
FredPeyer said:
To me \'thinking outside of the box\' is like an out of body experience, where we look at ourselves and our lives from a different perspective, free of all constraints, limitations, and conventions.
Great poem, great rhyming too!

Waitrose might be too snobbish to notice guilt. Too busy charging us too much!

Beautiful painting, and a nice story too regarding the sale.
Now for the poem: Read it, made it a favorite immediately. Read it again, and again, am still contemplating it, and probably will for a while. Do I feel guilty because I was cruel in my dreams? Or do I have cruel dreams because I am guilty? You do pack a lot of meaning into only a few words. Love your shorties!

orchidee said:
Yes, and is the guilt real, or not? Which is worse - true or imagined guilt?
And why all this somewhat deep stuff from me this early of a morning. I will give myself a headache thinking!
A fine write and pic Michael.

Very good and true write.
Fabulous artwork - where is it. It must be wonderful to walk over that bridge to that building (Church?).

THE CONFORMIST
MendedFences27 said:
I always say, \"Think outside of the big picture, \" and people say, \"What?\"
Whatever kind of box it is, you\'ve put the lid on it and nailed it shut with your \"uniform, conform, orthodox, box \" rhyme. I find it conveys the thought perfectly. Well done Michael. Beautiful painting by the way. - Phil A.

Louis Gibbs said:
The \"Box\", to me, is the programming we receive, teaching us \'what to think\' rather then \'how to think\'. Once ingrained, it is difficult to let our minds explore outside of it. The ones who let their minds escape \'the box\' are the ones who move the species forward.
This poem nails it, Michael! Excellent write.

The box of sheer conformity is something we need to think about escaping from and yes I agree we are surrounded by sayings such as this one Michael - - great work with the brush again.

Yes - and how big is the box? And what is it made of - cardboard, wood? I must know these things. I lose sleep with not knowing them. Do you too?!
And \'basically\' as everyone says, \'at this moment in time\', etc, etc - a fine write and pic Michael

Your depiction of village life by watercolour always astounds me Michael and loved the form your poem took today - - great read.

THEY WOULD NOT BLEED
Jeremy Leach said:
The story I imagine is a couple locked in argument behind the closed doors of a quiet village. Both stubborn as mules, trying to wound the other and not wanting to back down or show weakness. However the \'mislead\' and \'wounds\' raise intriguing questions and I\'m starting to wonder. I guess there\'s no right answer but it shows the power of a few well written words to stimulate the imagination. I could learn a lot from this.
