WALK EASY.
dusk arising said:
Looking back it is easy to see the failures for they came as a shock to the system and are truly eventful. But not necessarily meaningful. If instead we were to think of the positives which played their part then the whole episode becomes more meaningful and, if we take the positives forward into our lives, more reassuring and rewarding.
Gosh, thats my preacher bit over.
I enjoyed unravelling this, your final verse gave me inspiration.

My Dear Fay,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful poem! It has reminded me to...
‘dig deeper and keep only gems of happiness’...
Beautifully said and I shall do that!

Good write Fay. I\'ll take a walk. It may take some time with memories, seeing as I\'m millions of years old, so I say. Well, my middle name is \'Fossil\', so...!

What a wonderful write Fay, the sea is so strong and yet it can produce all emotions within itself and within oneself.

Whether crashing against the rocky shoreline or lapping the sandy beaches the sea can show either her mighty rage or her gentle side, but nobody can write about it as eloquently as you.

The immense power of a rough sea meeting a varied coastline is a wonderous sight not easily forgotten. The noise generated is like an anger spoken.
Your words took me right back to my most recent sight of such splendor which was on the south wales coast.

As much as we have learnt from nature, and have ourselves excelled in many ways, the feats of different creatures still leave us in awe.
Yes I too am mesmerized by the ballet performed by the schools of fish and the flock of birds.
Thnx for the pic and the poem

Agape indeed. Firstly, thats is a really super picture.
You capture the briskness of these high speed acrobatic aerial delighters. Thank goodness for slow motion filming so that us slower mortals can actually see what is going on and begin to understand. Together with bats and other winged delights, these creature live their everyday at such amazing speed compared to us.
Delightful.

THANKS FAY ANGELA HERE : Great Dynamic Photo that inspired a Great Dynamic Poem ! Elegant choice of WORDS (see MICHAELS Poem) and great meter for dynamic flow ! It is interesting that most mammals (except for Tree Dwellers) live on the two dimensional LITHOSPHERE whereas BIRDS live in the 3D ATMOSPHERE and FISH in the 3D HYDROSPHERE. My Field of Interest & Study is MOBILITY & DEXTERITY ~ Anatomical FORM & FUNCTION and it is very interesting how ANIMALIA are modified for the SPHERE they occupy ! HUMANS can only fly and live underwater because of technology they cannot do it unaided ! Land is overcrowded but SEA & AIR do not present alternative viable habitats ! Humans Ag : suggest jealousy ! *O FOR THE WINGS OF A DOVE ..... !* and *WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FISH ........ ?* Thanks for sharing : very thought provoking !
BLESSINGS : PEACE & LOVE
Yours ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

RE-WRITING RHYMES.
Goldfinch60 said:
Great re-write Fay, I do that occasionally and rewrite famous poems with my own words, it is great fun.
Mary had a little lamb,
She went and called it Fay,
And every where that Mary went.
Fay would play with hay.

Thanks FAY ~ A great rewrite of the OATPC very amusing ! Nursery Rymes & Hymns & Songs are all prey to a rewrite ~ I never object except for the Scriptures because they are sacred in any Language or Epoch. The BIBLE has been translated into 2000 of the 6000 known languages ~ but that provides ~ through the GIDEONS & the Bible Society etc ~ a Copy for everyone. Weve been in a Local School today with the GIDEONS. Odly enough Our Poem today is about *OLD THINGS* highlighting GENE AUTRY (1950) singing *DEAR HEARTS & GENTLE PEOPLE* and We wouldnt change a word. Thanks for brightening up our MORNING (B) & EVENING (A)
BLESSINGS & Peace & Love
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Men were good at one job, women had to manage the household no matter how many pittance were in her frock, and they did it with a smile, thus she was the master.
Nice subject well detailed.
