Michael Edwards said:

Speaking to my grandchildren (well their parents actually) I am encouraged by the innovative ways in which schools are putting learning packages into place via the internet. I appreciate that not all have access but they are not forgotten with printed exercises etc
being handed out.

Remember that education is probably fundamental but experience takes precedence and you cannot teach experience. In my life I have been with and worked with highly educated people but that is all they know and just cannot function in the normal world.

Remember, we are talking about the government who for the most part, pander to big business. Delaying closing schools has meant more mothers working. my belief is that the non closure of schools earlier has back-fired.

In this life we have the freedom to write as we please and as d a has said \'language is fluid\' and moves on into different ways of writing.
What you are saying then is that the poems that I write, which are nearly always free verse, are not very good; if that is so why do you comment on them!
I mostly write from the heart and put my feelings into words and to me and many others on this site they are meaningful to them.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - THANKS DA - I guess my Public School Secondary Eduction is showing ! When I studied GCSE English Literature it tended to focus on the Classical Poets - Like Keats & Wordsworth. At the least a Poem should have some Structure i.e look like a Poem when printed. Rhyme is optional - but there should be some Rhythm to aid recitation. I am a firm believer in the oral tradition and that a Poem (structurewise) should be *easy* to recite and *easy* to listen to. I love Poetry Readings. Especially people reading their own Poetry ! And my fourth criteria is that a Poem should contain Reason i.e. be coherant in the language it is written in. In the past some - so called *poems* posted on MPS have lacked Rhyme - Rhythm & Reason. Im not including *Nonsense Poems* a la Spike Millighan etc - which is an acepted genre. Thanks again - Your comments always make me think !

Blessings to You & Yours
Love ANGELA πŸ§‘πŸ€πŸ’™

Poetician was a new word to me so i looked it up on google where it is suggested to be 1) of a hindu origin 2) a poet engaged in politics (there was an old fella called corbyn, his policies were simply absorbin\'. 3) the title of a website.
Perhaps you know another meaning of this word.
However, your theme expresses disappointment with the current standard of poetry as you perceive it. That\'s a fair enough point of view but i doubt you or any other poet posting on mps has the finesse to gain the acclaim awarded to the past greats of our art. Remembering that language is a fluid, ever changing method of communication and todays popular grammar does not resemble that of the classic poets it is perfectly acceptable to the reasonable mind that poetry is written in the grammar of 2020 where the writer feels it appropriate.

A fine write A&B.
There\'s silliness, even in some churches, not allowing Women\'s Ministry, especially leadership.
Btu one church I know likes it so - even the women, who are seen and not heard almost.

Most helpful posting dear duo - thank you for sharing these sensible measures for staying clear by avoiding obvious means of contamination -- may your honeymoon be the treasure you will ever remember wherever you are - Cambridge I am sure can be very romantic when Spring when is bustin\' out all over.

Goldfinch60 said:

Since my giving up of the Christian religion due to it not being there to help my Joyce I have moved into t better palce in my life and have realised that organised religion such as christianity is just a farce leading people into a place where they are being misled. I still belive in MY SPIRIT, but it is just that MY way and I know where I am going by my own volition not being led astray into somebody else\'s way.

One of your full-blown, \'firing on all cylinders\' poems here - I\'m with you, of course!
If I forget God, for 99% of the time I forget, I consult Fido. Well, for guidance on 18+ poems anyway. He\'s the Deputy Omnipotent One! heehee.

In times of need and distress i suggest one leads their camel laden with riches to that biblical eye of a needle and seek truth. For it seems many believers in what is written in the bible seem to conveniently overlook that which is inconvenient in their lifestyle therefore encouraging the accusation of their holding dual standards or insincerity.

On the contrary BILL ~ we would be much more miffed if you didnt comment ! Your replies are always gracious and make us think ! Spiritual (Faith) Healing is a very big subject - well documented in the BIBLE and Church History. Angela & I do believe in Spiritual Healing and Support Medical Missionaries & MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship) which is invlved in medical Work in Developing Countries. Angelas Parents Church have a Fund Raising Supper (Β£30) of which Β£20 goes to support Young People from the local Catholic School to go to Lourdes each year to assist those in Wheel Chairs etc. Angela & I (who are Evangelicals) always support and encourage others. Your question has a serious note.
1. Because Angela is a committed Christian she has chosen a Profession ~ Working with People. Her name in Spanish = ANGEL ~ she believes as a PHYSIO she is a part of Gods Healing Ministry and has *Healing Hands*.
2. Privately she prays for each of her Clients ~ for recovery ~ by NAME. She is allowed to wear a Cross and the Hospital do have a Chaplain and Gideon Bibles (or New Testaments) are placed in all the lockers.
3. We believe the NHS is one of many ways in which Spiritual Healing is spread through the UK.
4. The Gift of Healing is one of the Gifts of the Spirit wich God gives to individuals in all Local Churches ~ AMEN ! Again. a very big subject ! Thanks for raising

Peace & Joy to You & Yours

I read a sensible news sheet entitled \'Items For Prayer\' including Coronavirus. It said \'Faith not fear\'.
Not gung-ho attitude, though SOME at that church can be a bit \'so-so\' or \'British stiff upper lip. Sort of \'we\'ll think about it in 20 years time\' outlook!
Meanwhile in churches - adaptations for Communion Service, etc.

Interesting variation on the sonnet form. I don\'t really know why, but I would end it \'Drain - Drain - Drain\', though it doesn\'t scan. Best wishes for the wedding.
