Angela Here - Good Sunday UNCLE MIKE ~ You have scored a Double Whammy today !
FIRST ~ SMOKEY loves his portrait ! Hope you dont mind - I ve copied it & expanded it and hung it over Smokeys bed ~ hes had a silly grin ever since ! The check is in the past !
SECOND ~ Well done with the Poem ~ it meets two of the three Criteria for a *Modern Peom* ! It lacks Rhyme & Rhythm but there is a modicum of Reason. Words like MANPOWER have stood alongside HORSEPOWER unchallenged for centuries. PERSONPOWER sound like a deoderant ! WOMANPOWER is yet another glossy magazine on Cosmetics & Fashion & Lingerie ! Our verdict on WORDS is *If they aint broke dont fix them !* Thanks for a Sunday Morning Smile in these days of Boris Lockdown !
How isJeanne ? You are always in our Prayers
Love Angela Brian & Smiling Smokey 💛💛💛

What to do for my poems, mentioning \'man\'. I often adjust it to \'mankind\', to include women. Now it will have to be \'personkind\'. That mucks up the syllables, I expect! Will Miss Berles allow it?
And what about \'thee\' and \'ye\' and \'thou\'? A cue for another poem?

Is it not possible, Michael, that conceivably you may perhaps have gone very slightly over the top with respect to the political correctness debate?
Entertainment of the first degree though and puss upstairs will remain with me for a very long time.as will all of your imagery.
Regards Dave
PS: Ain\'t grey over here - it\'s hot as the hobs of hell!!

As i said to the milkman \'dairy Lee\' this morning. I think you\'re wasting your time trying to get a one night stand with \'prim Ula\'. You might as well stuff it in a gorgons \'ola.

MISS SYLLA BERLES
L. B. Mek said:
well I bow to the mastery that is Dusk Arising\'s comment above,
but for my two cents I\'ll just add that one way to bypass Miss Berles restrictions is to utilise the mind-numbingly endless brilliance that is repetition - of a verse or a word, it matters little, the result is what counts-out - the smooth rhythms in classic\'s majesty: like our beloved Tyger\'s and late night Raven\'s with nothing more than a landing cushion of nevermore\'s...
alternatively, just sing out your miscounted syllables with the warmth of Cilla\'s accent and we\'ll all have a \'lorra lorra laughs\',
good write Michael thanks for inspiring my little scribble

Good Evening Uncle Mike ~ Brian here ! Love the Symmetry of the VISUAL ~ very Poetic ! Anybody can Rhyme but METER (syllable count) is a Black Art and is conspicuous by its absence in much Poetry posted on MPS. Angela & I DO TRY to post Poems that scan & are recitable ~ because we are Performance Poets. Some MPS poets do request assistance in making their Poems scan. I was taught that - for recitability - a Poem should scan. WE learned the hard way by Performing Shakespeare & G and S etc etc. All Performance Poets - Burns - Betjeman - Pam Ayres - Benjamin Zephaniah etc etc compose Poetry that does SCAN !
There are three factors in composing a Poem ~ Stuart Structure - Ronny Rhyme & Silla Berles ~ These three but the greatest of these is SILLA ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Prayers to You & Jeanne
Love Angela Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

I find it quite possible
to miscount my syllables
but it\'s rather apparent
when the meter is errant
and your readers won\'t go
where you\'ve buggered the flow.
But i\'m courting the position
of more complex composition
which i learned from a bimbo
who threw rules out the window
her metaphors were cryptic
I suspected dyslexic
her spelling atrocious
on correcting - ferocious!
so i decided instead
though i miss her in bed
to compose silly ditties
musing o\'er her her ti......
