HER LAST RESTING PLACE
Morwenna said:

Lovely images - hoar frost to dew in the context of old age to death (a kind of renewal??). And lovely unforced rhymes.

HER LAST RESTING PLACE
dusk arising said:

Upon a churchyard green
My surname was seen
upon a weathered old stone
with its R.I.P. tome

A forebear unmet
from a 19th century set
a farmer dad said
finally sown in deathsbed

where\'ere i roam
whatever i bring to lifes fest
I\'ll arrive here in peace
at last finding rest

Your writing always inspires me M.E. You have a unique quality with word as well as those brushes.

A few perfectly set lines of quiet scene to touch readers\' hearts Mike and the wonderful watercolour adds even more poignancy.

orchidee said:

Good write and pic M. Using 20 words when 5 will do - lavishly, generously, with abandon? Does Miss Berles count the syllables of these linguistics? Is there a Sale on of them?!

Fay Slimm. said:

An intriguing look at the sphere\'s of linguistic double-speak - a super write Mike and oh what a picture - methinks I could spot an eye looking at me in that big white cloud.

He was here last week tomorrow wearing garish brilliant shades of grey as he soaked me in arid silent verbosity. Monochrome rainbows brightly disappeared as the news was unmade and we all rejoiced at the possibilty of history.

what why, is your wonderful wife away?
(luv the stark, sharp white tones
of those mountain peaks
such, deft touches
amongst a sea of wondrous colour)
thank you Michael, lovely
(I sense the presence
of baron hollowness
in your artwork\'s idyllic scenery
as mirror to your Poetry\'s words)

overnight not a single sound was heard
till google woke me with a soothing word
but somehow it just dont make the grade
not a patch on my old Teasmade
i remain an early thirsty bird

kicked out me bed, theres no peace here
made to struggle wi\' caffitiere
coffee grinds
and bacon rinds
it\'s enough to raise an old mans tear

Shes so ungrateful t\'other half
sippin coffee in her morning bath
she\'ll not come down
till i warm her gown
i\'ll tell her she can stick it up her..... more tea vicar?

My chuckle for the day. Some may not be aware of the chain in question,
but I remember one from Grandma house. You made me laugh. Thank you. - Phil A.

dusk arising said:

I listed each bog on a map
in case i need a quick crap
once felt theres no stopping
caught short doing shopping
whilst seated I\'ll oft take a nap.

Caught short by a rattling door
i realise I\'d started to snore
defecation completed
bodyweight now depleted
its time to go shopping some more

meandering round Marks and Sparks
I\'m plagued by troublesome farts
shop assistants in coma
from my trouser aroma
seeking more airy space I depart

Your super limericks have once again flushed out the ridiculous in my rhyming. Nice one M.E.

Giggling again at your form of wit - - and loving the watercolour with its dashes of coloured surreal. Great post Mike.
