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? 😊

SINS OF THE PAST
L. B. Mek said:

these words take me back
to an idiom I could never comprehend
guilty \'pleasures\';
as a concept, guilt is bathed in regret
and yet
we need only, flick through our memories
to realise
most of our own personal guilt, is born - mainly
from getting caught
because there\'s so many skeletons, we hide
in those cramped closets
that we simply forget, unless someone reminds us
with a pointed finger
or that sobering click of a handcuff;
and so I wonder
is our morality, an outlined concept
not filled-in or coloured
because we know, it might be a galloping
high-horse of righteousness
one day, and the next be warped into a snivelling weasel
of regressed: regret\'s, guilt...
(not sure if I interpreted your words and artwork
in a feasibly comprehendible manner
but, this is what my feeble mind came up with) lol
great to see you a little more regularly Michael
touch-wood, that\'s a promising sign πŸ€žπŸ™

True, Michael - but we can try to make amends to the offspring of the wronged where they suffer disadvantage as a result.
That horse - alive and kicking with so few lines - brilliant.

Doggerel Dave said:

Michael, for me this evoked very visual images, as the first line gave me a picture of a wide open and naturally fertile landscape, while the second saw a heavy duty bulldozer right through the middle.
Never got that much out of a shorty before.

Amen!
as your Art
a wonderful window into your wisdom
your words offer;
sombre tones, but colourful
like the hopeful heart
gifting them, that brushstroke of life
