Thanks MICHAEL ~ love the HOSS ! Yes indeed \"All of life\'s a stage and we ~ Men & Women ~ merely players ! As Youths we rush on stage uninhibited ~ as we get older we wait apprehensive in the wings ~ forgetting our lines ! Yours BRIAN

The sketch is outstanding, and the poem is great! But sometimes I do think that my life is more of a circus, rather than a theater.

Youth they say is often wasted on the young - this verse indicates that in its second stanza methinks - fine words again Michael and oh that wonderful sketch. - - great shape.

We can only see someone\'s age if we can see they heart. Each moment we have a different face. Beautiful poem and painting Michael.

AGE IS IN THE MIND
Louis Gibbs said:

\'A demon trapped in the web of illusion\' ... what I see in your art piece. The three-line description on age is precise and right on! Thank you for sharing your gifts, Michael.

Love the abstract - once more.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MICHAEL ~ \"Though the outward Man perish ~ the inner Man is renewed day by day ~ We are transformed by the daily renewal of our minds through Peace & Poetry\" Thanks for sharing. Love the scary abstract ~ Change & Decay in all around I see ! Life expectationwise I\'m only one third through my life ~ but my laugh lines are showing ! Please check my Poem & Fusion ~ both on TIME ! Thanks BRIAN.

Was he a monk? What about some meatballs? Cute and profound read.

Louis Gibbs said:

\'A decimated earth post-apocalypse\', is what the painting speaks to me. A decimated man, devoid of love, is what the poem describes to me. Both so well done! Thanks for sharing them with us, Michael.

HE NEVER DINED
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks MICHAEL ~ The abstract smacked of No Man\'s Land in WW1 ? The poem is a TERCET indeed with a nice metered flow. If \"music be the food of love\" CUPID should liaise with Weight Watchers ! Notes have less calories than oats ~ or is that a double-entendre ? BRIAN

FredPeyer said:

He never had my wife cook for him, that\'s why. I rest my case! :-)
Seriously, I love your poem.

orchidee said:

A fine write and pic M. Was the food of love pork pies? Was it in Shakey\'s time too?! (Shakespeare).

IN THEIR ANCESTORS LAND
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

\"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!
