Good write. Dali was a very influential artist but nobody could approach his dynamism.
Like the painting the fusion of the object with the background is super.

I have visited most of the art galleries in the major cities throughout Europe and beyond and of all the galleries I would ever wish to revisit is Dali\'s Gallery in Figueres. For me he is the only artist who can combine photorealism with a totally abstract thought process - Surrrealism. You can keep Rafael, Monet, Constable et al - as a practising artist I just love his work above all others. And another of my paintings.

Thanks Robert - it means a lot to know my humour isn\'t lost - haven\'t written any limericks for quite a while - these are all from the \'back catalogue\' - must get back into the habit of writing them.

Man and Nature. Man is constantly getting a good laugh from the wiles of Nature, but eventually she has the last laugh. We age and die, but are often out-lived by the things of Nature. A great write. Loved it. - Phil A.

Absolutely wonderful poem but really captivating when you combine the poem with the beautiful watercolors of the flowers! Worthy of publishing I think too.

Thanks MICHAEL for a very clever poem throbbing with rhythm and resonance. It pace befits the subject ~ the inevitable passage of time. Even your flowers are slightly wilted ! You could desktop publish a booklet (centre folded A4) poem on the right ~ picture on the left. A booklet with 20 poems & pictures would only cost about £3 for ink etc and you could try the water by giving them for Christmas presents. You would need to match Poems & Pictures (which would need to A5) Print on both sides ~ Cardboard cover and then fold and staple the centre. I have done it but mainly poems not a picture for each one ! Yours BRIAN

Ah Michael - An expertly rendered scene where time catches up with nature and man. This plus the wonderfully painted flowers makes a complete duo of reading and viewing experience. Ever thought of publishing a book combining the two ?

MendedFences27 said:
Wicked awesome Michael. Just more slang from the Boston locale. Within the sound of Beau Bells. I\'ve heard from a friend. is the true Cockney. It\'s hard to imagine a rapid exchange in this dialect, but Londoners due tend to speak quickly. Getting up in the morning and using the language of the Cockney would tire me out such that would have to return to bed. A very humorous poem, fun to read and translate.- Phil A.

A COCKNEYS LOT (Chapter One)
Michael Edwards said:
A word of explanation for those of you not in the know.A cockney is (or was) someone born in the East End of London traditionally within the sound of Bow Bells. They were members of the indigenous race but with changing demographics they are very much a dying breed. To preserve exclusivity they invented a language of thier own known as rhyming slang.
Most were of two words long but many were shortened to just one word as in jimmy in this poem. Many of the expressions survive to this day and although I am not a cockney I was born and raised in London and was familiar with them mainly learning from my father who was born near the near East End and used them regularly.
