WHERE NO MEN TREAD
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

I see a |HOOFPRINT in your DAUB
A painting into *Paths not trod* of course
When I venture into *Lifes Hidden Orb*
I always saddle up my Horse !
It give me height & Horspower Might
Saves me a-pricking from the Gorse !

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle Mike !
Lovely symbiotic & ethereal Pic & Poem.
Like FAY I too have added both to my FAVES !

Love it when you wax lyrical
Love - Peace & Joy - ANGELA !

WHERE NO MEN TREAD
orchidee said:

It\'s all right for some, ain\'t it, being umbrageous! *Gets out dictionary*.
I know that quaggy moss, and horse manure, along a track, so deep I had to turn back and take the long route!
How are Miss Berles ram-berles these days? Where does she go?

WHERE NO MEN TREAD
Goldfinch60 said:

As I see those lands ahead
Those lands where no men tread,
I see that wondrous piece of art
Which pulls me strongly to its heart.
So along those lands I\'ll go
And to that painting I will bow.

ANTI SOCIAL HAIR BEHAVIOUR
FineB said:

Hi Michael,

Great write and lovely picture accompanying your poem

Social distancing I certainly had an interesting experience when I went into the EE mobile store in Wembley to get my phone updated. The assistants now wear space age caps when they serve you

Keep writing and safe during these challenging times.

After reading how you have so accurately describes me, I guess I\'ll have to go into \'lock-down\', all because of facial distancing. HA!

I am feeling a bit sheepish myself and thinking of changing my name to Sean :)

I now have a full head of skin. But the choices of off the shelf polishes have brought a new enthusiasm into my life.
And hats, now a necessity in colder times.... i have hats for every mood.

ANTI SOCIAL HAIR BEHAVIOUR
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - BUENAS DIAS TIO MIKE ! Love the foto of your Hair from up above - please keep out of El Sol ! Men are suffereing follically (and its not funny !) Growing beards and hair like Street Buskers ! Where their WIFE has had a go it really shows ! Zilch back & sides & Fuzzy Wuzzy on TOP ! This is another of the 50 ways in which Girls Score ! As our Hair gets longer Men have more to Play with and we save Money on Extensions. Brian is learning more about us Females now He is married (His Lady Friends say He is Bewitched - Bohered & Bewildered - aren*t ALL MEN ?). I noticed in the box marked REINCARNATION (on our will) hes crossed out TIGER and replaced it with HUMAN (FEMALE). Love the POME excellent choice of Words for a Tuesday !

Blessings & Joy to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey !

He he he your ruminating belly rumbles beneath the duvet. Have those rumblings become a comforting lullaby for your good lady?

And furthermore - you having hot summer nights, enjoying \'em?! I\'m not! All I do when it gets to 28C = 82F is faint, whether it\'s palindromic or not! * Gets out dictionary*!.

orchidee said:

A fine write and pic M.
Miss Berles has furbelows. In one sense, it\'s related to petticoats. I googled that, of course.
Woof! Fido won\'t let me pursue it further. He says \'Take the definition of \"adorn with trimmings\"\'. lol.

REDUCTIO AD ABSTRACTUM = Modern ART
REDUCTIO AD ABSURBUM = Modern POETRY

ANGELA Here - Always up Bright & Early on the Sabbath to Carpe Diem ! Good Sabbath - Uncle Mike. I am pleased to see you waxing lyrical again ! Just as the ultimate *ABSTRACT* is *White on White* so the ultimate *ABSURD* is the *Nonecu* the *Sans Mots / Sin Parablas*. Such Paintings & Poems leave MUCH for the Imagination but ZILCH for the Soul ! Nice to see your *Abstracts* in situ it gives them VITA LITY - AMEN !
Love the Lyric *YET SLEEP ALONE* as a collolary to *ON SUMMER NIGHTS LIKE THESE*. Being Spanish - I love the *Piquante y Caliente* in Food & Climate (& Hombres !) and when we pass the palindromic 28C = 82F I come alive ! We love the *Hot Summer Nights* and all the abstactions of the supernatural agencies ! Love & life (in our esperiences) are always ameliorated by *temperatura* ! We notice you have still employed - yesterdays last line - *in ruminating silences*. Is that for continuity or choice or circumstance. Thanks for sharing your Pics & Poem & Abode - Excelente !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey !

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

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here - Good Friday Evening Uncle Mike ! Just catching up on MPS after a hard day in my clinic ! Love the *Table d*Oiseaux* the height is important to stop rodents stealing the Food etc. We have similar on a 5ft Pole which is ideal.. Squirrels & Cats & Rats could possibly scale your support ?
Love the POEM. Nice structure three balanaced *Free verse Quintets*. V 1. The view fom any window is evocative ! V 2. The view not only evokes Nature but also Rustic Human activity. V 3. Living beyond (and before) the here & now ~ AMEN !

A suggested last line as requested in your reply to DA
*FLUID PIXEL RUMINATIONS* That\'s just Girl Talk !
Brians suggestion is *THE EBB & FLOW OF FANTASIES*

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey !

dusk arising said:

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.

Oh Michael. The image you conjour with these intriguing lines is so powerful - a tale in the telling and here\'s to another installment perhaps. Great stuff as always. - - and p.s. - I love your unique bird-table arrangement.

orchidee said:

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\'!
