HAIKU SPRING (1)
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Top of the Morning to You Uncle Mike ! Winter morphing into Spring is one of the finest seasonal Changes of the Year ! Such a contrast - everywhere I look Spring is bursting into vibrant (good word !) life. Love the TULIP and the HAIKU excellent ! Angela bought me 12 red Tulips in Bud for Valentines Day. They are amazing and in full bloom. Now (5th Day) the Heads have bent the Stems into amazing shapes. It looks like a DODECAPUS or a GORGONS HEAD with the tulips bending and writhing on the 12 points of the compass ! It would make an amazing painting - too Awesome to be True. But then Nature Always is !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love BRIAN & ANGELA πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Such is \"Poetry\" , a thought simply defined. 19 words of elegance, with universal application and meaning. Such is \"Poetry.\" - Phil A.

A fine write and pic M. Yes, annoying if words come to us, and no pen and paper at hand. By the time we come to write the words, we may have forgotten them. Doh!

Your words are so very true, many of our thoughts need to be captured in words.

Yes, i\'ll go along with your words today 100%.
All the better if it also transports each readers mind too. Preferably somewhere close to where the author\'s mind found itself.

THE OXFORD COMMA
Michael Edwards said:

The easiest one I can think of is the following:

I was accompanied by my siblings, Fred and Maud.(Fred and Maud are my siblings names)

I was accompanied by my siblings, Fred, and Maud. ( Fred and Maud were in addition to my siblings)

THE OXFORD COMMA
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ Bon Soir Mon Oncle Mike ~ love the Goash ~ Jug o* Flowers. Thanks for the Grammar Lesson Mike - but it still need to be explained !

Three European Countries in the EU are:
France, Italy, and Spain (with Oxford Comma ~ second comma)
France, Italy and Spain (without Oxford comma)
Both sentences are acceptable because neither is ambiguous !

It is our Church Mens Breakfast tomorrow so another example:
MENU ~ Bacon and Eggs and Toast ~ This would suggest the
toast is served integral with the B & E and not for Marmalade !
MENU ~ Bacon and Eggs, and Toast ~ with the Oxford comma
indicates the toast is served separate and could be marmaladed ~ OK !
In this case the OXFORD COMMA avoids the ambiguity ~ OK

Thanks for raising ~ American English tends to use the Oxford Comma
which President Trump (USA UBER ALLES) calls the Harvard Comma !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

THE OXFORD COMMA
orchidee said:

A fine write and pic M. Is that the Cambridge comma at \'though (although), or am I just making that up?!
Does such a comma exist? Does Miss Berles know? Is she upset that letters or syllables are omitted, e.g . e\'en for even?!

Michael Edwards said:

When you\'re driving a car if no other cars are around why bother to indicate? Well I would say, apart from complying with the law, it\'s a good habit to get into. The same logic, I would argue, applies to the use of the Oxford comma.

\'everyone\'s gone to the moon

\\remember that song by johnathin king back in the 60\'s. Your piece today brought it to mind.

A delightfully sombre mental picture arose.

NO LAUGHTER LINGERS IN THE WIND
orchidee said:

Yes, lovely write and pic M. I was on a country walk - trees were bare. Then it occurred to me - of course they are, it\'s Winter. Doh! Though relatively mild day.
How\'s that itching? Does Miss Berles suffer from it too, or has she got fleas?

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela Here - Just having Coffee & Shortbread with Brian before SHOPPING ~ AMEN ! Love the painting - Scotish Lowlands in Winter ? Brian & I always take the TRAIN up to the SMOKE. We never worry about the time because it is normally Pleasure not Business. I was raised in London but would hate to have to commute every day ! It sure doesnt take a Month to travel to March (Norfolk) from Essex ! Not even by ANGLIA !

Blessings & Peace - to YOU & YOURS
Love ANGELA πŸ§‘πŸ€πŸ’™
