I admire your minimalist virtues Michael. We are the complete opposite, \"it may come in handy\" proved to me a few weeks ago whn my neighbour had a flat battery and he had lent his charger to somebody else, I lent him mine which I don\'t think had seen the light of day for about forty years! It still worked.

TIME ALONE
MendedFences27 said:
As to your poem, excellent portrayal of \" Time Alone\"\", but Time raises for me this one question: Does \"Time\" exist? or is it just a man-made measurement?
At least you demonstrate the proper use of time. To create art and poetry together must be the reason we have time at all. Great stuff Michael. Loved it. - Phil A.

marijoy said:
A thoughtful poem of thinking. Seemed to me as I was reading your poem that your thoughts played a big role on your time alone. So it took your time and ruled it like your muse.

A fine write and pic M.
My walk along tracks in an Art Trail become an Arts Trial - seemed as if I walked miles, though locations seemed close together on a map!

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love the Village Scene ! In the ORAL TRADITION Poems were SPOKE and not WROTE so spelling was not a Problem ~ Then JOHNSON (An ancestor of BORIS ?) wrote a DICTIONARY and required spelling gradually became the NORM. Modern Poetry of course does not use Accepted Spelling and of course TEXTING makes SPELLING obsolete its all gone back to FANATIC (sorry PHONETIC !) Spelling. We sometimes use POETIC LICENCE ~ as in ~
We met in the CAFF
An\' \'ad a LAFF
Then went back to my GAFF
And made love in the BAFF
Spell checks ~ unless they\'re set on USA (Websters) can be a BOON ! As can the Shorter Oxford Dictionary ! It\'s words like WEAR ~ WHERE ~ WERE which sound the same (unless overpronounced) which can led not only to the massacare of Queens Spelling but alter the meaning ! The rot set in with jingoistic advertising DRINKA PINTA MILKA DAY and BEANZ MEANZ HEINZ etc and of course the aformentioned texting ! I deplore precociousness but I do enjoy the Spelling Program ~ especially when they get it wrong and get berated by PUSHY PARENTS ! Then there are Coloquial Words as in BURNS and the Cornish Dialect Poem ~ FAY shared a few weeks ago (with Glossary !) A scoucer has every right to introduce SCUFFER (Policeman) into a Poem ~ Good Rhyming Word ~ but there should be a note of explanation to educate those who live SOUTH of BRUM !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Yours as always BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
PLEASE CHECK ~ BLUE BLESSINGS ~ THANKS A & B !

So true Michael. On another poetry site that I was on a new person joined and I read about her and she said she was reading English. Her words were
“Studying English, I haven’t wrote many poems.”
I wrote a poem about that of course:
----------------------------------------------------
Me, A Pedant?
Andy Brister (Goldfinch60) – October 2015.
A new poet came to the site,
Not unusual, many join
This wonderful poetry enclave.
I looked at their profile
And it made me laugh.
“Studying English,
I haven’t wrote many poems.”
I wouldn’t want to stay
On that English course.
Or is it just
That I am a pedant.
