Before i start to read, I have to compliment you on a cracking picture today M.E. The reflections are just fine mate and absolutely necessary. Next pic of a naked lady rising out of water please (in same style) and in the watery reflections add a ripple to a nipple.
Great poetry with a sombre sadness contained.

I laughed a few times but I guess mostly when I read your notes as words I feel can never be offensive without intent and you sir have a wonderful manner! As your art and poetry always reflects its magic handler...

ANGELA here - Thnaks for the PICASSO reminds me of Darth Vadar who sadly died this week - I was told He was Immortal !
MLK said he wanted his Children to be judged NOT to be judged by the COLOUR of their skin but by the strength of their CHARACTER ! Because my DAD is from Southern Spain - my skin is OLIVE - fortunately Brian likes Olives. Brian is PINK ~ all over ! BUT is classified as WHITE ! He can be BLUE with cold - GREEN with envy - PURPLE with rage etc but he*s still classified as white. One advantage of being my colour - I dont have waste time SUNBATHING ! Love the POEM ~ please check ours - Thanks
Blessings & Prayers for You & Jeanne
Love Angela Brian & Smokey ! ! !

\'colour(ed)\' as a stand alone word is not offensive my sharp witted friend, but let us tiptoe the blurred lines of humour with one eye on \'context\',
\'pronouns\' are symbolic of choice verbiage, important as a gauge of progression for those who feel maligned and marginalised within our society,
Racism fuelling omission by skin \'colour\' - is an integral subject that underlines \'the inhumane\' within our collective history\'s,
but \'colour\' in context to those who were subjected to 400 years of slavery is a subject - I urge, be handled with a little consideration to the innately inflammatory reactions it will inevitably \'resurface\', seeing how this Summer\'s outcry\'s of popularised injustice\'s have barely been stifled,
unless that is the sole point of making that \'innocent quip\' - to begin with...
ah life - let us ever laugh and welcome the cocoon of selective ignorance, so we can at least brew our beloved cup of foreign Tea in some semblance of peace, lol

It\'s naughty to say \'coloured\' people, I heard. We must say \'black people\'.
Ask Ana Lyse to look at your poem and pic, and suggest a classification!

You have done it again with your artwork Michael, it really intrigues me.
As for speaking or writing about different references to colour it is like a minefield but in my long life I have never found any problems with race, sexuality, religion or any other types of difference in people as long as respect is shown to all. Respect is so important.

*Michael, your write triggered me - again, so I ended up on another tirade and messed-up your page, please delete comment if you want, very sorry*
just wish I was back in school doing those darned word count essays, imagine the amount of words counted-out covering all your socially aware PC bases,
pfftttt I would laugh in the face of 500 words, probably fill that up by trying to please everyone at the start:
\'to those who recognise themselves as a he or she or other or other\'s, or better yet: literately capable existence or entity or other, or other\'s, let me start or begin or commence, what I would like or hope (non faith based optimism perspective), or wish (non fairy tale approval POV)...\' lmao!
as satirically witty as ever Michael, keep em coming sharp, respectful but unashamedly confrontational to those who refuse to engage in open debate:
lets talk it all out and make the whole world a social sponge for our individual frailty\'s, we can have prime minister\'s question time in football stadiums and let the democratically voted wisdom of Boris soothe all our fears and nurture our every need,
I mean who cares about suicide rates, disgraceful treatment of our elderly and Vets, social networking\'s parasites - bullying our kids or worse grooming them for who knows what,
capitalism\'s drug victims (that\'s the pushers and addicts and jails/motels, of that highly profitable multi billion dollar trade mind you)...
that\'s right it\'s 2020 a whole year mismanaged into oblivion - so let\'s feel empowered by assuming changing pronouns will hit a switch of inclusivity and we can raise even more money for those \'charity\' activist\'s, making \'all the difference to our everyday lives\'...
what\'s that? 20% of USA university students living under poverty line conditions? UK food bank charities calculate additional 673\'000 people falling into destitution by end of 2020 and the rest of the world?...
yup, let\'s debate the important shit all fck\'ng day long!

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?

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
