Glad you finished playing with words and posted this gem of a free-style, semi-abstract piece of intriguing perspective on frustration. Great read Michael.

L. B. Mek said:

I think you captured that subtle state of introspection, spontaneous and entirely without objective at its outset - but somehow, yielding concrete breakthroughs to niggling obstacles,
only, the mere feat of discovering this untameable skill renders us momentarily stunned - in that crucial moment where we should be at our most alert: so as to record and cherish those inspirational thoughts or ideas,
later - once removed from that rainbow mirage of temporary enlightenment: we question, if we truly experienced what we think we did and are left frustrated for not taking full opportunity of such a rare gift,
and thus we resume that chorus of lament - we pace our daily strides to...
(or you were just writing in a broody mood, lol)
brilliant write! evocative with insightful depth
(sorry for lengthy comment, I get excited when reading such thought provoking work)

ANGELA HERE - Good MITWOK Uncle Mike - Thanks for an enigmatic Pic *n Poem - but as they say on Classic FM there is paradoxically a LINK ! We*ve been to ALASKA (Cruise) to see the Whales and the *not so Abstract* is a Whale just breaking the Surface in the Alaskan Waters ~ OK !
Well wheres the LINK ? Well a THRENODY is NOT a *Trio of Gnomes* ~ GOD FORBID ! - but a WAIL or LAMENT - Which it certainly is !
So there we have it - enigma solved - Your presentation is ~

A WAIL accmpanied by a Picture of a WHALE
Two for the price of ONE ~ Boris* offer for WEDNESDAY !
Seeing we solved your enigma can you please add a Poem
on WALES to our *Staycation Fusion* and also check ~
*Love of the Horse* todays POEM ~ Thanks A & B !


Blessings & Peace & Love to You & Yours
Angela & Brian & Smokey Cat 💛💛💛

- and swim in the hollowness
of a life: without biting substance...
another quirky offering, your work offers such effortless whimsy - of well-lived, shimmering silver wisdom: displayed with deftly subtle tones

And very nice it is too, it must be Birds Custard though.

There is a restaurant near to me called \"The Pudding Club\", this has a world wide reputation, I have been there a couple of times and in talking to one of the staff I asked about the custard they used - the answer was that they used Birds Custard as it was the one that their customers demanded.

truly insightful:
what reflects is what awaits, once that last tip of suffering\'s - easing sip, is consumed and all reverts back, to that rubbed-raw clarity of sobering reality

Oh lol good write and pic M. There\'s similar in a Laurel & Hardy clip. They have one drink between them. They agree to drink half each. Laurel drinks it all, then says \'My half was on the bottom!\'

dusk arising said:

Trouble is, you always get wind of what he\'s about to say.

Another of your great street scenes. I was brought up in a place quite similar, which probably accounts for the woodworm.
