I can just visualize multitudes of birds visiting, if only to sing a chorus as you recite these words of yours.

Today i wandered with your words and journeyed along the tracks lit through a hazy dust and enjoyed a relaxation into a fantasy of childlike fairy tale land from afar.
Then somebody knocked my door. Reality can be such a rude awakening. I really enjoyed this piece.

And both fine to me too!
How do we know we have had 40 winks? Do we count them while we are dozing? Will Miss Berles allow 41 winks, or is that too many?
What am I talking about? If we dunno what we\'re on about, how will others know?! lol. The heat\'s driving me mad - that\'s my excuse.
Miss B. will now explain to me: \'contiguity\'!

Too many times was I bitten and felt that jolt, which explains a lot.
Haikus and Senryus have broad subject matter such as Nature and Humanity. I guess everything else is your 575. I truly related to this one.

Hmm for me arithmetic and poetry should be kept a long way away from each other...... perhaps with an electric fence between, or maybe one of those electric shock collars around the poets neck.

When I pass by a deserted place or a ruin, my mind wanders off to its glorious past, and I am lost to reality. Your words capture that and your art brings it back to life.

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle Mike - Welcome back we have missed your artwork and your words of wisdom which makes you a very precious & unique contributer to this site. In a time of Universal Pandemic *change & decay in all around we see !* It is salutary when an oft castigatesd *Rags to Riches* England Fooballer like Man Us RASHFORD takes the Government to task in respect of support for Children on *Free School Meals* being given support during the *School Holidays*. The *Beautiful Outcome* is that RASHFORD won and the Government reversed its Policy ! As with CAPTAIN TOM - It just takes One Man / Woman to reverse selfishness & restore ALTRUISM !
Thanks for your pic & poem ~ it has given me new strength to CARPE DIEM !
Please check SHOPPING (Yesterday) - Thanks !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Good write and pic M.
I know a couple of con men who stopped me (reported to police now). Supposed gardeners, driving about with an empty truck! No equipment, and no name on the truck.

A watercolour of creative intrigue Michael and it sets the scene so well for the words. One read of the verse had me near tears - - its poignant flow and pace of each line is just perfect - - one of your best in humble opinion my friend and a fave for sure.

HI UNCLE MIKE - Brian here - I have in my hand - A copy of the American Declaration of Independence (4th July 1776) written by Thomas Jefferson. In line 3 it states *All Men are Created Equal* When one visits the USA one very quickly realises it is one of the most UNEQUAL COUNTRIES on Earth to be born into. Also remember that Jefferson himself was a Slave Owner so he was well aware of the disparity betweenTHEIR Social Status compared with HIS. If you listen to Elvis Presleys *In the Ghetto* and consider the *Murder of George Floyd* you realise nothing has really changed and probably never will ! Even @ the point of conception the Inequalities of BIRTH - LIFE - DEATH are indelibly coded in the DNA ! I consider JEFFERSON to be *One of the Greatest US Presidents* but He was a Philosopher & An Idealist Not a Sociologist !
Your final line should read:
DESPITE INEQUALITY !
I agree 100% with the other three !
Love the ARTWORK *Strangers on the Shore* That is the legacy of COVID 19 on South-End-on-Sea !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian - Angela - Smokey Cat !

Love Your Poem! Period. Don
Thing is that because we worship success here (USA) like a god, we think that is a Christlike trait that shows Jesus is on your side. When Jesus stood for everything these so called evangelicals are standing against. As in we could want to be on Jesus\'s side especially as we live in a time of Grace. By Sharing & Caring, Living & Loving one another individually for who we are. You can\'t get to the Beauty of someone unless you can get past the ugly you see in yourself.
