Loved the poem and the watercolor,
which contains some irony.
Make a wrong choice nature will be a
ruthless critic.

A bucolic poem about a not very bucolic landscape at that moment. Very evocative.
Thanks, Dave

Missing from the painting is a well
For your words do cast a spell
Glad it wasn\'t the building in your painting

why is it I see a graveyard picture that\'s a little light in tone and immediately I hear:
\'My father\'s family name being Pirrip, and my christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.\'
thank you for that Michael, time for a re-read I think

I vote for the first version, not a classic limerick, but in consistent verse.
This old man rather often stands in the bushes and gets out his spout, and I\'m not a tramp, though the pandemic has left me looking like one.

a fun read Michael...
its all fun and games
until we all reach that certain age
and all we\'re left are endless nights
of knee entwined shuffles
to and from those horrid corridors
between us
and our white porcelain
of salvation...

And there once was a tramp from near Barking
Who whipped out his (18+) for an airing;
For this offense he had to pay,
A constable took him away
With a knot in it for safekeeping.
Great picture - as usual, Michael.

Your 5-7-5 verse at the end would be described as a senryū in the Japanese tradition. This Wikipedia paragraph says it clearly:
>>Senryū (川柳, literally \'river willow\') is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku... Senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious. Unlike haiku, senryū do not include a kireji (cutting word), and do not generally include a kigo, or season word.
