Slithered Moon Haiku.
Doggerel Dave said:

Do slither away, you very new moon;
Claim to be cutting the sky with your light?
Just wait ‘til you’re older and get it right.
This a golden rule I’ll institute soon.......

I cannot find a clear definition provided by Prof. Google, so I’ve made the assumption that this is a new moon. Please clarify – answer required (you have been missing in action several times recently, Andy – Lifestyle too lavish, or just getting old? 🙂🙂)

Dear friend, as I read I see that the threads of all you love have been woven into a magnificent tapestry of life that you treasure. I celebrate your joy. This is beautiful verse at its best.

why choose only one
when it takes a combination of all
to excavate the happiness, you justly deserve
a wonderful read, dear Poet

Congratulations should be granted here;
Time to write your biography, old son -
Your life cannot but fill me with good cheer,

To live a life full and varied is quite a thing to achieve. Something that isn\'t being passed on to the next generations where we have made such great advances in curbing infant mortality rates.

Moon is for poets a boon,
Your Moon poem is nice,
Moon is for night a gift,
For Sun a celestial chum!

Protecting Moon.
Doggerel Dave said:

Ah! The moon, a dry piece of rock,
A base for space exploration
Neglects the world’s population:
With poverty it’s just a crock.

Let\'s get real, Andy...

Good write Gold.
We were on the moon, you and I, before 1969, to welcome the first astronauts there.
Did you leave me there on the way back to Earth with the astronauts? Did you all leave quick cos of my singing? lol.

Walking To School.

I like you grew up in those times walking and later riding a bicycle to school. This brought back those memories.

Walking To School.
arqios said:

Walking to school was one of the best things. At one stage we lived across the road from the back gate of the school and at times would plead with the guard to let me in through there instead of walking around the block to the main gate.

Nice words Andy. We all Iive on the same rock, don’t all live in the same world. Sounds like your world is a pleasant one.

Oh yes - -- those were the best days when we walked in the streets and to school which for me was a mile away and with no fear - - the song you chose says it all Andy.

Walking To School.
Doggerel Dave said:

With such nostalgia I can but agree.
And what, do you believe, has caused this change?
Is it the weather? Rain can sometimes pee
on people who produce more kids - how strange…..

Only a smooth single malt could compliment the after rehearsal and the companionship of a lover, that you have so poetically penned here.

So Mary didn\'t invite me, with me water to add to your whisky, before ya got home?! lol.
I read of something where they DID add water to their tipple. Something in the 19th Century.

Still at a quandary about not being able to be there on the 3rd. But vicariously join as I had been in the choir since I was 5. It\'s a whole experience creating music together.

Fulfilment of Life.
Dr. Soma said:

Life is a journey of fulfilment, it\'s true. But this fulfilment comes after a span of struggles. I have been struggling for a long time. But still, I didn\'t reach my destination. Sometimes I feel tired or become puzzled about this journey. But I cannot quit this. I have no more choice but to accept it.
