Comments received on poems by Michael Edwards
IN SCOTLAND - IN LONDON
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?

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.

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...

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

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?!

RAISE THE PINKY

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

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.

Quite right too Michael – a good old semantic argument can be very rewarding when one has a good hand.
How you achieve the balance in your pictures must be your special secret.

a lament to the demise of heritage accents as gateways to language\'s eloquence of veracity, for those tasked with burden of descriptive commentary..
