WITHIN THE SANCTION OF THE WALLS
MendedFences27 said:

I\'ve heard many praiseworthy compliments on the value of \"moonshine,\" but none spoken as eloquently as this, but then you mean moon light. So here\'s some praise: \"The silver line of lunar rays,\" Their footsteps grind on gravelled paths,\"\"and deep beyond her gibbous eyes,\" are unique and beautiful lines only an artist would pen. - Phil A.

OUTBURST
MendedFences27 said:

I see the \"Outburst\" in your painting and the \"abstraction\" in your verse. Wonderful together and separate. Enjoy your break, filled with inspiration hopefully. - Phil A.

RETAIL CYCLE
P.H.Rose said:

This is bob on Michael
Another saying that might
Not translate....
I hate how they just want
To bloody build everywhere
Knock down beauty
Put up ugly....

RETAIL CYCLE
Augustus said:

It is all in the city council\'s hands. Developers donate heavily to their campaign funds. I love the contrast.

RETAIL CYCLE
MendedFences27 said:

The \"Retail Cycle\" is being accelerated by on-line ordering. However the underlying problem is population growth. Maybe convert all of the closed Malls to housing. Your poem captures the rise and fall of Big Box stores precisely. If only we could keep all of the villages intact Love this one - Phil A.

RETAIL CYCLE
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Great Visual MICHAEL ~ conjuring a bygone age ~ before the whole of England is encased in concrete. Every person in the USA has eight times the space we have in the UK and it shows. Concrete prevents drainage and each tree and blade of grass reduces photosynthesis which removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxygen. Urbanisation is one of several reasons that the % of CO2 in the atmosphere increases year by year. BRIAN.

TWO TRAMPS
MendedFences27 said:

Two mice who wouldn\'t pay the price.
Alone in the night, \'cause the price wasn\'t right.
Your poem was my chuckle for the day. Snows falling 1-2 ft., so I needed a laugh before facing it. Thanks for that. - Phil A.

Thanks MICHAEL great poem and a classic cartoon of MUS MUSCULUS ! My ANCESTORS tell me that there was a time ~ that when the light (The SUN) went out ~ they went to bed ~ when the light came on again (The SUN) they got up and started work ! With artificial lighting the light never goes out ! BRIAN

HER EPITAPH YET WRITTEN
MendedFences27 said:

To me this feels like someone in remorse trying to cope and mend their ways. \"She lives,\' yet I question is this a person in truth? Well it\'s pretty surreal, but it makes one think, and reads smooth and flowing. Nice art. - Phil A.

NIGHT
MendedFences27 said:

This ia a beautiful description of night from a \"practised mind.\" Should that be \"contrasting\" in stanza 2? Your poem is pure poetry and great art. Please don\'t be offended by my dumb question.
I love your work. - Phil A.
