BENEATH A PEWTERED SKY

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

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 ?

WINE UNTAINTED
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks for sharing and caring MICHAEL your poems and paintings always delight the mind ~ the eye and the heart. Wine ~ which maketh glad the Heart of Man and enlivens the Spirit of Woman ~ is always worthy of an ode. Wine matures for us in the cask ~ we should always exercise care in the release of its bouquet ~ AMEN ~ Please check my Sunday Sonnet ~ thanks BRIAN

YACKY ZEBRAS
MendedFences27 said:
Yacky zebras permeate the NFL. You may not understand, but your American friends will. It\'s a commentary on referees who wear striped shirts and talk too much. As for arrogant bears, well, they\'re all from Chicago. Maybe it\'s the poor quality replays that make the yacky zebras take so damn long to move the game forward. Bet you never expected to inspire that rant. Oh well, A fun poem and great art. (Pamplona street scene?) - Phil A.

YACKY ZEBRAS
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks for stepping up to the plate MICHAEL ~ a great effort to produce an ABCD ZOO POEM and all the words are Oxford Dictionary Certified. Did you paint the picture after the poem or did the picture inspire the poem ? Looking at them symbiotically ~ in the picture from (L to R): I see a SICKLY TURTLE clutching his X-ray ~ next a HIPPO logging a jump followed by the head of a BEAR dining on \"Kikkerbillen\". YACKY ZEBRAS are luirking in the background. Then three NATTERJACKS striving in a RELAY (or should that be REPLAY ?). Thanks for sharing Poem & Picture ~ Yours BRIAN

Poor chap. I feel for him. Maybe we all get to where he\'s at from time to time, but constantly being considered a fool? No fun. I believe my wife called me a damn fool just yesterday. Thanks for the humor and the cartoon (funny, my life in a nutshell.) - Phil A.

Michael, this is a splendid poem which ends with a beautiful philosophy. I read somewhere, and you probably know where, that a prophet is without honor in his own country.
