Obviously, it was not a good idea to bend down to tie the lace.

a fun read Michael
not sure how we go about verifying
one historical \'fact\'
as being more \'factual\' than another
generally I assume, all information
has its accuracy decrease
with each forgotten second

Michael,

The first two stanzas of your poem remind me of a special person in my life.

The last two brought tears to my eyes.

The illustration is a poignant one…
for me.

For a few hours a day I stare in that ‘cup’ and contemplate about many things; extracting the best from the past and enjoying the present — while hoping for the best of what will be — one sunset 🌄and one sunrise 🌅 at a time.

Thank you for sharing your words…very helpful.

All the best,
Laura🌻

there\'s always two murky sides
in every story\'s, Tealeaf details
but how well, you\'ve served
this treat of poetic artistry
with such: outlined clarity..
loved everything, from seeing your name
on the screen, to reaching the final delightful letter
of your poetic inking, thanks Michael
(I won\'t ask
just knock-on-wood and hope
with all fingers crossed,
but I\'ll share these words
so at east you\'ll know, my friend)

\'Got the solution: Keep my illusions to myself and let gently declining memory remove them gently (works for me).
A great vision of \'a green and pleasant land\', Michael.

Amen!
I just love
your sparingly detailed watercolour paintings Michael
and that defiantly disobedient: Haiku
in both wording and rule breaking - ease, lol
a great read, thank you!

A great short-line but needed reminder Mike to watch the height of our daydreaming - - - and I just love the intensity of those reflections in your beautiful water colour.

meanwhile:
London Mayor increased Press office spending
by 26% in 2020
( https://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/18149842.sadiq-khan-spends-26-city-hall-pr-johnson/ )
in the runup to elections, that he won: by a landslide...
despite closing an abhorrent amount of police stations
since 2017, to save \'8 million\' - from a budget of \'billions\'
and still promises to close more,
while stabbing figures and crime rates, rise: relentlessly...
(it\'s all a well coordinated dance of propaganda
and everyone knows it,
we\'re just too scared to believe it, because western society
is rotten to the core,
and we don\'t want to admit it)

You should hear them shouting foul over the parliamentary bill to give police more powers to deal with illegal traveller encampments.
Your powerful two lines brought this to mind immediately.

I understand the problem and the frustration very well, Michael and cannot offer any solutions - but you do have my commiserations.

Privacy - if press was not courted....
Beyond that, I\'m with you all the way, Michael.
BTW - Your artworks part of an economy drive? 😊
