DO YOU WANT TO GO?

A \"wee\" bit of humor. The need for the wee is too much tea .My wife and I have worked out a system, its English tea in the morning and at tea-time, and good ol\' American coffee during the day. Loved the funny little poem and the painting, don\'t know what it is, but the coloration is great. - Phil A.

Garry said:

Very funny poem, love the play on words, which I missed on first read. I\'ve reached the age when visiting the toilet happens so often i need to find it funny.
Really like the painting as well.

DO YOU WANT TO GO?
Fay Slimm. said:

An exciting piece of abstract art Michael which in this case demanded my full attention - - with brilliant speckles its peep into beyondness it brings the universe that bit nearer - - the more it is viewed the spirit of that heavenly blue lifts the whole mood - - and after the read of your funny wee verse answer is \"yes - I now need to go too.\"

DO YOU WANT TO GO?
Goldfinch60 said:

I have just been thank you.

Your painting intrigues me, somehow the more I look at it the more disturbed I feel. The little flecks of white, presumably the ground on which it was painted, disturb me most of all.
I must conclude that if this is how it makes me feel the painting is very good as if in art, words and music emotions are raised within one that work is good.

THREE COUPLETS
MendedFences27 said:

Loved the couplets. Loved the painting. Clouds in the sky? We all see things differently, just like art. Eye of the beholder and all. Words too, can be appreciated in many different ways. My favorite is stanza 2, perception on leaves, floating. A great image, as is the painting. - Phil A.

BENEATH A PEWTERED SKY
MendedFences27 said:

I\'m still working on my interpretation, but so far I think someone is being burned alive, or a volcano is erupting. Though a volcano would be anything but \"quiescent.\" Then again he raised his arms which isn\'t possible if you are tied to the stake. So, I\'m lost. Without further ado, let me say that I loved reading this. Words well chosen, interesting depiction, nice rhymes. All in all a stellar poem. - Phil A.

BENEATH A PEWTERED SKY
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Great paintung Michael ~ The C of E own some of the most iconic buildings in the UK. Our Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool ~ in red sandstone ~ is awesome inside and out. Great evocative poem reminded me of Lattimer & Ridley being burned for their protestant Faith in OXFORD. There is a bronze cross ~ set into the carpark outside Balliol College to mark the spot. If you stand on it and meditate you feel the haet ~ AMEN ! In Puebla Mexico one Sunday Morning I was caught in an ash fall out from POPOCATEPETL when we came out of the Church ~ it rerminded me of that too and Pompeii and Herculaneum both of which i have visited. Great poem & picture for World Poetry Day ! Please check my ODE ~ Thanks BRIAN.

MY FIRST VILLANELLE
MendedFences27 said:

A great write in a highly structured form. It\'s so difficult to accomplish and have it flow and make sense. I think you\'ve done it perfectly. I just wonder how much wine it took, - Phil A.

MY FIRST VILLANELLE
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Ahhhhhhhhhhh MICHAEL you have succumbed at last to the siren lure of the VILLANELLE ! The choice of the only two rhymes in the poem is very important and ~INE gives plenty of scope as in WINE ~ MINE ~ DEFINE etc and also ~O which allows ~UE and ~EW etc. The subject will gladden the hearts of all PHILOENICS. Thanks for increasing the CLASSIC content of MPS ~ much appreciated ~ BRIAN ~ Love the painting ~ do I glimpse a WINE BAR ?
