Good Morning Fay ! We have anjoyed a nice SPRING day 17C (63F) a bit Spring Showery today but plenty of Wind for sailing in Auckland Bay ~ This adds a frisson to being (physically) with My Beloved ANGELA again ~ AMEN. Its 11pm (Monday Evening) and we have just watched the *Queens Speach* ! Angela wishes BREXIT was all *Done & Dusted* so do I ! We both welcome the promise of more money for Education & the NHS !
Pictures do produce fascinating POEMS and this is no exception ! ANY CAGED BIRD ~ anywhere always fill Angela & I with horror ! The *caged* KIWIS we have seen in NZ are provided with enough SPACE rather like the 4OO Elephants we saw in the Addo Elephant park in Port Elizabeth South Africa. We also see domesticated CATS & DOGS as (normally) being housed humanely ! We dont agree with CAGED BIRDS in Homes ~ they always look SAD ! *Caged & Enslaved Fellow Humans* is a great scourge on HUMANITY. An apt PUNISHMENT is caging the perpertrators in PRISON ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace & Joy & Love
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙

How cruel and unthinking we are to cage the wild animals.
The epitome of which must be the magnificent ferocious tiger which once caged deteriorates into a pathetic facsimile of depression and behavioural nonesense.
Some people encage a loved one and live a life of moaning \'what\'s changed, why can\'t you be like you used to be?\'
Sad tale retold here with the finesse of Fay.

Your words are clear as Cornish air
They cause you want to dream;
Your sentiment, like Cornish fare,
As rich as clotted cream.

I can see why that picture brought such a powerful write to you.
\"Sightless obedience\" says it all.

How disgusting is war really. Mankinds stupidity in murderous manufacture motivated by, well strange for me to use the word but, motivated by evil.
Back on 1st Aug last year i tried to confront the aftermath of war in a piece title \'peace\'. I think i caught it but you go further here.
what can we do.... helpless, impotent.... \'not my war?????\' really?

I have to say a big grin warmed my face when i saw this title.... \"ah yes, our lady of the dawn\" were my thoughts.
And an encouraging twist unfolded before me. I rarely greet the dawn in it\'s real nature i.e. outdoors but special occasions do come to mind and the dawning does something special to me when experienced in that way.
Lately I\'m living in an insipid drugs regieme which leaves me bed ridden till mid-day. Sad but really makes me want to recover and be \"there\" again to absorb natures rich gifts and probably appreciate them as never before.
Inspiring.

A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. Your poem conjures up that feeling of loneliness and regret in only a few words. Well done!

A fine write Fay. I was on about a hymn: \'When a knight won his spurs\'. This fits to it perfectly, so I shall sing it! Arrgghhhh, they all say. lol. It\'s in 12.12.12.12. metre, though the hymn is slightly irregular metre I think.

How melancholy can be those final train departures. The innocent yearning, harshly learning stood against the wall in your picture so evocative of her dilemma and pain.
And future holds a jolt of fear and yet hope with each distant train\'s whistle.
Beautifully emotional poetry Fay. Concise but truly conveys young love\'s entry into the big real world timelessly.
For the sheer mastery of this genre this piece deserves to be in everyone\'s favourites.

Love your poem, Fay. Silence is definitely underrated. Unfortunately I have tinnitus, so even if it is quiet I still have all that noise.

You\'ve encapsulated the beauty of silent times here very well indeed. For satisfaction with silence is a clear path to self knowledge, exploring ones inner mind, reasoning away from the everyday.
For those who look perhaps deeper still a spiritual awareness begins to be realised. Evidence of this can be seen from without when reading some of our fellow poets on mps who quite obviously have ventured well into silence.
Another very enjoyable read Fay. Stimulating, I look forward to commenting on your deliveries here.
