A WINTER NIGHT
Lorna said:
Oh Michael - But such a lovely excuse to light the fireplace! Your poem has skipped Winter\'s first enchantments and headed straight for dreaded January. Don\'t rush us past the first magical snow even if your poem is magical.!

GOOD FRIDAY - Uncle Mike - Angela here - no clinic this Morning so perusing MPS @ Leisure ! Love the the GLENIT reminded me of an old DITTY
A Man lay down by a SEWER
And by that SEWER died
And at the Coroners inquest
They called it SEWER~SIDE !
Ahhhhhhh SYLLABLES one of our crieria for a GOOD ODE (A*) is that it should be RECITEABLE ! Brian & I are Performance Poets and encourage *Poetry Readings*. Rhyming & Syllabusism goes back to the ORAL Tradition which spawned Good RHYME & Good RHYTHM We get lots of Good Rhyme on MPS but many MPS ODES lack Rhythm. Some MPS Member are Humble enough to ask Brian for Help and the problem is nearly always Poetic Structure & Rhythm. His advice is to READ IT OUT LOUD and count & adjust the Syllables. Someone like the talented Pam Ayres (whom we have discussed Performance Poetry with) admits she stretches (more syllables) & contracts (less syllables) words in her Poetry Concerts - To make the Poems scan ! Brian & I try to indcate *lengthening & contracting of WORDS* when we publish in MPS and elsewhere. Thanks for reminding US of the *Importance of Being Metric !*
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey 💛💛💛

A beautiful description of approaching winter. It seems at times that we fall asleep and wake to its arrival. Maybe the reason is that \"dream drenched sleep.\"
Glenit\'s pattern seems almost infinite, is he all right? - Phil A.

Despite the shiver after perusing the poem I vote this a perfect description of winter\'s quick change to overnight freeze - always a pleasure to read your artful words whatever the weather dear friend.

Good write M. Yes, saving a syllable there - the handy \'neath\'. Miss Berles will be glad you saved one. I gotta use more \'e\'er\'s\', \'e\'ermores\', etc to save syllables.

I find this humorous. I may have done this or something similar, like drive to work only to find it was Sunday and they were closed. Sometimes I think we live half our lives by rote.
Maybe too many \"Bees in the ointment\" is why we\'re losing all our bees. A fun poem and drawing. - Phil A.

The first half of a poem reminded me of a movie , perhaps a memory being played in head
“ manly voice over” as he sits alone contemplating younger days, GLENIT Is spot on today,
A wise bee once told me, “ mind Your own beeswax”

What year was this? Something actually closed on a Sunday? Everything seems to be open 24 hours these days - well, some things!
Another daft saying: \"Give 110%; be prepared to work 24 hours a day\".
