Fathers Day.
Accidental Poet said:

My dad would always pay except for when my sister and I would tell him, \"No dad, this time we pay\". He always had a tough time letting us pay for him, but towards the end he was giving in. Happy Father\'s Day Andy. ๐Ÿ˜

Fathers Day.
Paul Bell said:

Your daughter knows what side your wallet\'s buttered. On the plus side, you enjoyed the meal and the company, tipping the waitress, the barman. Does she have a birthday coming up.

Buzzard.
dusk arising said:

I recall seeing my first buzzard when they were still rare in early nineties. Impressive and statuesque stood watching me across a field as i drove by. Several years later a mating pair lived in a small wood nearby and we were delighted to see their talons locked twirling fall of mating ritual directly above us.
Yes magnificent soaring hawks, now quite plentiful and can be seen over the city often.
I can see the appeal in your wish. I\'d choose to be a cat. Not just for the nine lives but for the superb beautiful multi-talented creatures they are.
Thank you for taking me back to those memories.

Why Do I write Poetry?
arqios said:

Troubles to be forgotten and others to be kept. We write because we have to. This is a powerful read. Thanks for sharing your poetry.

Non Existent Troubles.
dusk arising said:

I took on board the words of Max Ehrmann...
\"for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself\".
... and included in that the fortunes and misfortunes life deals out.

Far from perfect in many ways, I count myself fortunate for my lot in life. Your last two lines say it for me...
\"Feel grateful for the troubles,
The troubles that we don\'t have\".

Don\'t worry if you have nothing to worry about - sadly this is not an option for some - all we can do is be there for them. Great write Andy.

Your \"Great Day\" gave me a big smile. It is often the nice, simple things of life for which we are so grateful at the end of the day. Thank You!

Love that thought - storms teach us how to dance in the rain. - How very true Andy.

Doggerel Dave said:

Had absolutely no idea you had stormy moments, Andy. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Advice, however sound - liked it very much.

Every Storm.
Paul Bell said:

I think sometimes you need the storm just to realise the potential that life has to offer. We all go at a hundred miles an hour now, so anything that makes us reflect is not a bad thing.

Every Storm.
dusk arising said:

I\'m sure that you have seen out some thoroughly good hidings from storms lashes and, just as I have, been made all the stronger for it.

This is one of your finest pieces Andy and it goes straight into my favourites to be read again and reflected upon.

Every Storm.
L. B. Mek said:

firstly
your video showcased
probably the most emotive, interpretation
of this piece of music..
when you consider
how many hours of practice
in solitude
and then together in painstakingly
exhaustive effort
to cultivate such symphonic
synchronicity
while each, Genius
plays with so much individual flair
emotionality and musical ambition
you just have to, surrender
to the wonder of classical music..
I know
people want to label it this or that
slow or imperialist or privileged or whatever
but for me, when its done with such
fervour and innate, passion
you just can\'t deny its capacity
to emote, to heal
to showcase, Life:
in prismatic Purificatory!
(as for your poetry
I too live life
with wellies, ready
and umbrellas, steady
\'while tapdancing, feet
river dance like those Brave
Irish
full of Pride and Defiance
in the face of oppressive
ill-fate...!\')
thanks Andy, simply
a joy to read, watch, listen
and try, to heed

Different Every Time.
Bella Shepard said:

My dear friend, I read this poem as I listened to the beautiful music accompanying it and it gave me chills and a few tears. Your words are reflected in the haunting beauty of the music. You are one in a million to have blessed with two such loves. An incredible write, and a favorite
