\"Who hath smelt woodsmoke at twilight ~ Who hath heard the birchlog burning ~ Who is quick to read the noises of the night ? Let him follow with the others ~ Where the Young Men\'s feet are turning ~ To the camps of known desire and proved delight\" Your poem evoked days in the 80\'s & 90\'s when we could still chop down trees and cook over open fires ~ now forbidden on our Scout Camp Sites. Your painting was a reminder of looking down on the camps from a 30ft observation tower (To scout fro the Cherokee !) awesome DEJA VU ! In the 21st C its all primus stoves and gas fired BBQ\'s and every tree is numbered and has a preservation order ~ SHAME Baden Powell is like a chicken on a spit in his grave. Apple burns well with a sweet smell ~ ash burns well wet or dry ~ take care with pine it spits at you ~ oak burn forever etc useless knowledge in a hi-tech age ! Perfect PICTURE ~ Perfect POEM ~ what are you on ? Thanks BRIAN

Your poem, to me, a beautifully portrayed look back at the simpler time of our ancestors. Your watercolor, stimulating. Thank you for starting my day with beauty, Michael!

Your watercolors never cease to amaze and compliment your poetry so well! It looks like little fires where the ancestors are cooking in your poem. Great job!

\"They never sang nor spoke nor met yet in a dream she cradled him\". Something about this one touches me at a hidden level ... my favorite by far.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks you MICHAEL for sharing the process of \"writing a poem\" with us. I have saved my comment to the last. Having had a Classical Education ~ in Literature and Art I was familiar with the illusions to OPHELIA (which is your final title) and of course Millais\' famous painting. I am a Performance Poet so for me RHYTHM is more important than RHYME. Because you rejected rhyme you were able to juggle the 21 lines in VERSION ONE to 19 lines in TWO and 16 in version THREE ~ where you also introduced some new lines ! Also in TWO you versified the Poem into a 6 7 6 line pattern and finally in three into a 5 5 6 pattern. I do point out to people who ask that the number of lines in the verses can vary as long as each verse makes sense. Some classical forms have strict versification ! We all have to remember that POETRY started as a ORAL tradition therefore it had to be REMEMBERED and RECITED hence the evolution of rhyme ~ rhythm ~ repetition. You final draft is BLANK VERSE ~ the verses make sense and it is recitable ! Thanks for bending our minds ~ BRIAN Personally (but I\'m not an artist) I would have included MILLAIS\' painting with the final draft ~ you still could ~ but as others have commented yours is equally effective ~ B.

Michael, this time I have to admit
I was captured by your painting quite a bit
Even though your poem is great
your picture is evem better.
How much do you charge for one of these originals?

The painting is lovely Michael. I\'m not much for Shakespeare - original or retold (philistine), but the pic is very nicely done, IMO.
