Some days I don\'t write any poems at all. Do I cheat? I may write 1, 2 or 3 on other days! I don\'t of it on purpose to keep up a backlog, it\'s just how things go with my inspiration.

I\'ve just about run out with about only three poems not yet posted - at the moment I\'m spending all my spare time preparing paintings for display and an art demonstration plus just a couple of commissions which will take a while so hanging in on MPS by my finger tips - perhaps I should have posted these one at a time. Thanks for your comments Santita - I think No3 is my favourite - it makes me smile whenever I read it.

I used to visit the Gower every month of the year, a favourite area with best beaches by far.
My memory often stumbles
To peninsular past The Mumbles
where such outstanding beauty
often found me fruity
To revisit? - my heart grumbles
First area in UK to be designated \'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty\'.
I love a limerick, would write them all day. Great to see you enjoy them too. Enjoyed yours here and obviously struck a chord in me.
Big thank you.

I think I worked for that guy. He always left early.
I was about to say \"Nice limerick,\" but they aren\'t supposed to be
\"nice\" are they? I\'ll simply say \"Fresh limerick\". Enjoyed the flashback to my working days. - Phil A.

Thanks MIKE I know the GOWER well and in my mind it rings a Bell ! Welsh Time is very volatile especially in rural Wales like LLANGEFNI on Anglesey ! I turned up to speak at a Church The ORGANIST (playing Cwm Rhonda) and the usher were there but no congregation ~ i thought that perhaps the word had got out that Brian the Saesneg (English) was speaking ! Th Usher said \"Don\'t fret FY ANNWYL\" they have cows to milk and pigs to feed they\'ll come when they\'re ready ! An hour after the scheduled stat time the Church was full ~ the service went well and the singing (all in Welsh) was \"The Language of Heaven\" as I left the Usher smiled and said WELSH TIME is When i\'m good and ready time\" Thanks BRIAN

Good limerick. It is amazing how many times my watch stopped when I first started going out in the evenings from my home with mum and dad.

His picture is gone, but the picture of sadness is so vivid in this poem.
The paint looks so nice.
Both are done well.

Sad. Left kind of a hole on my stomach. I guess I\'m very sensitive these days. Beautifuly written though.

MendedFences27 said:
A picture gone, someone is missed. a faded wall enhances the contrast. Night shades the episode in gloom, even Morning cannot remove the loneliness, and rain beats a pathetic tune. Such sorrow. Well done, loved the stanza flow. Felt the pain.
As for the picture, He chose his colors well, mostly colors of nature, blue (sky), brown (earth), green (vegetation), with a dab of sunshine mixed in on what appears to me as a stone bench. - Phil A.

Michael, I really like the first stanza the best. It tells a whole story of a love gone wrong in three short lines!
Btw, did you use two glass panes to do the painting? I tried it once a long time ago as a test, but it looked nothing like yours. Mine was pretty bad, while yours is beautiful.

A fine write Michael. Sometimes I wonder about my \'mix & match\' type hymn-poems, choosing out a Bible verse or two for each stanza. Yet they seem to be grouped in themes, e.g .1-5; 6-11; etc, so hopefully not disjointed in my poems.

Purple and yellow are not my favorite colors but you made them work really good here. The other complement the piece adding more interest and creating some boundary to it. I went beck to look for a naked woman but found some parts on it that could be interpreted as a naked woman. I myself see a woman dressed on a long flying dress and she is falling. As for the poem I find them too difficult for me because it is almost more math than poetry. I like the poetic side of poetry. I like drama or romance. You\'ve been quite dramatic with those forms anyway. Thanks Michael. You are always a master for me.

The poem first - What a tortuous exercise this must have been, but you got there, and with a heavy message as well. To that point, perhaps (and this is merely a suggestion) it would have more bite with a word such as \"inexcusable\", or \"fundamental.\"l
As to the art, please save the purple background, and the naked woman within it. To me the yellowish portion appears to be a tattered garment she is removing.
Or is it trying to say something about hunger? - Phil A.
