How does the old joke go? \"Once we had a full-length mirror, but now we have to hang it sideways.\" Enough.
Your little poem says a lot about people. Mirrors simply reflect. It\'s the interpretation that is troubling.
Your artwork is amazing. _ Phil A.

There is so much I could say
But that will only steer me away

So, it is as you said.

THANKS UNCLE MIKE ~ BRIAN HERE ~ Great Pic ~ love to ascend those steps & see for myself ! A MIRROR IMAGE is reversed (L to R & R to L) which is why some people whose faces are very assymetrical (like QUASIMODO !) never recognise themselves in a photo. Angela likes to use TWO MIRRORS @ 90 degrees (before she ventures out) so she sees what others will see ~ OK For those who failed GCE Physics (do you know anybody who got a C ?) the second mirror reverses the first back to normality ! An interesting thing we do in PHOTOGRAPHY GCSE is to take two identical PORTRAITS and then join the two RHS & the two LHS. The result is interesting ! In my case the two RHS look exactly like my DAD (Slim & Angular) and the two LHS (more Plump & Rounded) ~ GENETICS RULE ~ OK. Thanks for stimulating !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

i stopped reading the Mirror. There are so many trashier alternatives.

A mirror only serves to offer the chance to see ourselves as others see us but the other way around... Worthwhile? doubtful. Anyway after a mirror gets to know you it begins to tell lies. Mine has started flashing images og my father back at me.
Begetter of errors indeed.

Just as in your poem, I\'m sure the structure was made by a craftsman too.
Well crafted

Here lies a rotting poet
whos quill duth write no more
His rhythm and rhyme so sorely missed
By many a bawdy whore.

So appealingly written I felt I was on that distant walk around crumbling gravestones adorned in engravings by long-dead masons - -- another fine piece of artwork too Michael.

Coffee with me and Miss Berles tomorrow M?

TEA?
Fay Slimm. said:

Black with no milk but a dash of lemon - that\'s my favourite cuppa and much admiration for your three- liner to a fine drink - - love the example of a paintbox, well used no doubt by your talented brush Michael. Super posting.

TEA?
Suresh said:

My brother owns tea gardens, and he told me that the white tipped young leaves are the rarest and best, which are even shipped to the Buckingham Palace, and I bet they know how to brew a cup of tea.

TEA?
Andrew Charles Forrest said:

warm the cup
warm the pot
warm them up
To keep it hot
Let it brew for
Just a while
peppermint or
Chamomile

Thanks Michael for bringing the country together where our politicians have failed, you have the answer... pop\' kettle on mother!

TEA?
dusk arising said:

Strong Earl Grey in a one pint mug with five sweeteners and milk sat opposite the most wonderful lady who is looking at me with love in her eyes.
Compromise? No.... oh OK if you insist, .....forget the tea.

TEA?
FineB said:

Hello Michael,

An enchanting write. Tea, nothing like a good strong cuppa as a pick me up or a nice cream tea by the coast or tea at the Ritz.

Keep writing

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Ahhhh UNCLE MICHAEL : TEA nectar of the GODS ! I agree with UNCLE ANDY : The English Tea Ceremony : Tea Bags are another example that SATAN does exist. In these dark days one only sees Silver Tea Strainers on Antiques Road Show ! Love the painting very PAINTYFUL !

Blessings & Love - Joy - Peace
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

TEA?
orchidee said:

A fine write and pic M. Some say \'A pot of tea, please\'. A whole pot? Depends what size the pot is.
You coming over for a pot of tea with me and Miss Berles?

TEA?
Goldfinch60 said:

Rwanda Burundi fine tea leaves into a china teapot, freshly boiled water poured into the pot, left to brew for two minutes. Milk into a fine bone china cup, tea poured from the teapot through a strainer and into the cup. That\'s how I would like it Michael.

Top marks for the artwork and as for the sen. - gotta admit my shoulders found its meaning quite weighty today Mike - must be the peas I had in my salad lunch.............

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Ahhhhh UNCLE MIKE ~ I (BRIAN) have an allotment at College and Greenhouses for teaching BIOLOGY and the taste of PEAS fresh form the POD (Raw or cooked al dente) is indescribable my word is PEASY ! They do need FAGGOTS (a multimeaning word !) to support them but ironically they complements FAGGOTS (a Northern delicasy) as well !
FAGGOTS to GROW & FAGGOTS to GO !
Please check ANGELAS Poem today LA MIA ABUELA and you will learn a few more Spanish words ! It is so like English you can be semi-fluent in a Year already you know thousands of Spanish words ~ you just dont know what they are !

Always wear a HATINTHESUN ~ OK!
Blessings & Peace & Love
