RANDOM THOUGHTS ON COMPLEX ISSUES
Fay Slimm. said:

Powerful thoughts here Mike - - the penultimate line hits the hardest methinks - - have read it slowly over again and my answer to that question has to be a strong NO - - so good to see you back posting my friend.

HOW ANNOYING IS THAT?
L. B. Mek said:

must have missed this when you first posted
I remember the great series you had last year about idioms,
might go back and read a few
to create some space
in my own tolerance tank
and yeah, I mean that: \'LITERALLY\'... lol
thanks for the fun read Mike
glad all is well

I’m sorry, for what? I wasn’t the cause, but your words did make me think - how odd.

Yus, and \'blow me\' if i \'don\'t not\' agree with you \'110%\' which is just what my neighbour \'turned around and said to me\'.
Annoying aren\'t they.

Doggerel Dave said:

No satisfying you is there? :-)
I have a digestive system too; I can\'t be sure, but I think It may be coming out in sympathy.I hope it doesn\'t become too over active....
Excellent fun write, Michael - I can relate to that.

IN SCOTLAND - IN LONDON
L. B. Mek said:

liking how complex this artwork style is evolving into Michael, I remember a few months ago when you first started it was but a few lines and angles, now its full of discreet details, creating their own \'realms within realms\', wonderful that you choose to share your journey of creative discovery with us, I find it inspirational even if most of its nuanced subtlety flies above my uncultured head, lol
liked the historical context included in your commentary as well
MP\'s corrupt - how morosely predictable
no wonder the British public just votes for the opposite of what our politicians want nowadays;
hello to a future of more Boris-like caricature leaders, with their hands on that red button of our collective fates...

Don\'t trust any politicians but Sturgeon is more believable than most.
Wonderful are work Michael, much to visualise in it.

dusk arising said:

Love that picture Michael. Parts of it remind me of what comes out of my belly button on it\'s annual clear out day.
Cameron is the typical MP (or was) the epitome of a grey characterless stuffed suit. More so than Mr \"Green shoots of recovery\" Major himself. Sturgeon on the other hand is a firebrand in anyones book..... cor! what it would be like to have a leader like her.

Doggerel Dave said:

Picture up to usual standard, Michael (cheeky!).
Politics a bit lost on me:
First stanza - Scotland seeking to leave the UK?
Second Stanza...Cameron the bloke who started the Brexit thing? Hadrian\'s wall - irony?
It will probably spoil it if you explain, so just give me my score - 2 out of 10?

INEQUALITY BY TWO

Like OAP , I am a little unsure what you mean... then I slap myself and remind me that a poem should not mean, but be.

INEQUALITY BY TWO
Doggerel Dave said:

Go for it Michael. I\'ll wear the \'a\' I think, so long as it isn\'t banned - then I would have trouble with the labels \'atheist\' and \'agnostic\' which I firmly wear myself... (As an aside here I would offer that the \'C\' in this context has been attached to those who believe that jc is the son of that big bloke allegedly in the sky, so deserves downgrading, while the \'a\' will always belong with those who suggest that he was a political figure, possibly a political activist and freedom fighter).
I\'d just like to add - a good write and great picture...

INEQUALITY BY TWO
L. B. Mek said:

somehow, despite all this progressive mindsets of modernity
there is an undeniable legacy of unifying tranquil solace
within empty church buildings
that sadly, those who utilise them: tend to ignore...
a tranquillity captured ever-so subtly in your artwork, I feel Michael
a great offering on a bright sunny morning, grounding
that tinge of instinctive delusional euphoria that invades
at a mere hopeful glimpse of vitamin D, nurturing

orchidee said:

Good writes and pic M.
You been round our way? There\'s a church like that with a wall about 5 miles from us.
Erm, the \'C\' is for the name of a person, Christ. The \'a\' does not refer to any particular person. That\'s my reason - or excuse?!

INEQUALITY BY TWO
Goldfinch60 said:

Since I have given up on christianity I always use a lower case c.

Aah, back to the original art style that I know, lovely picture Michael and love the way that you have created the brickwork on the wall.

RAISE THE PINKY
L. B. Mek said:

firstly your artwork just shouts fun and had me tilting my head at an angle, like the fool I am, lol
wonderful play on caricature metaphors in your wording, its write\'s like yours that makes me look in horror when a wild pinkie strays away from the pack and my hand resembles a jazzy kettle..
a great read Michael

RAISE THE PINKY
Doggerel Dave said:

Ooo! Yer know where yer can stuff yer sanny \'an I don\'t mean down yer gob..... Apart from that Sir, your work has a certain structure rhythm and rhyme which is pleasing...definitely an example of form which trumps content....

RAISE THE PINKY
Goldfinch60 said:

Do you remove the skin from the cucumber as well?

Another intriguing artwork Michael, I have shown my daughter these, she is also an artist, and she says that they remind her of works by Joan Miro.
