What you love it seems to happen
Music in your mind created outside
Adds to your poetry overnight
Well penned dear poet

\"Some words (or music) you don\'t hear every day\"? as they saying goes.
Here\'s some words we hear every day: \"Orchi mucked it up in 1066!\" lol.

L. B. Mek said:

beautiful, message!
indeed, if we choose to live our life
draped, in that sunlit tint of positivity,
we can excavate
those minuscule, but essential moments of solace
anytime, and anywhere;
for they await us, we just
have to be ready to accept
and remember, to look out for the subtle blessing\'s in our lives..
a great shorty,
thanks for sharing Andy

Dad\'s Back.
jarcher54 said:

My dad would play one of his few cherished classical records on the old phonograph, the kind with a handle on the side that folded like a suitcase, as we sat late at night on opposite sides of the kitchen table, he grading college essays, me doing my homework. We sat there silently. Nothing brings Dad back like the scratchy sound of one of his old string quartet LPs undulating on my turntable. Thanks for the reverie.

People Do Not Care Rant.
Accidental Poet said:

I see the same thing here in the US Andy. Lots of times the younger generation do it because they enjoy annoying the older generation. They know the we were brought up on earning and having respect for others. And that annoys them, so they set out to annoy us. And like Robert, I too despise people who throw their rubbish on the ground rather than in a trash barrel where it belongs. 100% agree with you Andy. 😒

All civility is disappearing. Mankind is regressing to barbaric times. I blame the wars of the twentieth century and the gross barbarism encountered there. People have been de-humanized by what they have seen . It is now all about the self.
Nice rant Andy. Right on target! - Phil A.

L. B. Mek said:

its all lost in the: \'meaning\'...
we are seeing the consequences f this college brainwashed
\'free spirited\' keyboard warriors
acting-out
their \'online persona\'s, in real life\';
see, all those disgruntled educators and lecturers
who found their position in society side-lined and deemed worthless, by the stifled size of their wage packets, notion of worth
are venting
their anger,
and using our very own children,
by warping their mind\'s and societal values
to retaliate with...
and so we have two or three generations
mingling into the world, awaiting to inherit the world
with that mindset, where
\'victimhood\' is the prevailing identity,
they adhere to, over everything
and the notion of \'merit\' being \'cancelled\' for that self-serving
\'I\'m just doing, what feels right to me\' attitude, to life
where consequence has no value
because
life - itself has been
\'nihilistically, corrupted: into being deemed: valueless...\'
(So no, my friend
its not you, but sadly
unlike you
some of us, have been conditioned
by our experience
to judge and calculate
\'who\'
we open those doors for
and who, we assume
will hate us for re-introducing
that archaic notion
of gentlemanly: virtue
back into their
\'concussed\' awareness and values...
(good rant, my friend
well articulated!)

dusk arising said:

The best rejoinder possible! However, many a gentleman has consciously dropped such gentlemanly manners simply because of the rebuffs he has received.

but wouldn\'t the rough edges be again smoothed if more polite behavior was the norm.

spilleronsheet said:

It’s a serious matter
Days have changed
Behaviour too
Surrounded by so many ideologies
To hold the door
Or not
Both considered rude
Gentleness has disappeared
Maybe that’s why people have changed
Humanity seems lost
So when one cares we inspire of being thankful
Turn rude
I wish we could be thankful to those around and appreciate it too
So that others can be thankful and humble too
It’s kind to open a door
It’s kind to talk softly
And hear patiently
But in our rush we forgot what manners means to us

Perfectly expressed this rant against thoughtlessness dear Andy - - like this verse states I too hope the day comes when politeness and respect return.

I\'m glad you replied to the woman, or you may have felt embarrassed (though no need to).
Bit like saying to someone \'Hello\'. They reply \'Hello? What do you mean hello. I will punch you on the nose for saying that\' Doh!
I said in a mad moment: \'Cheer up; if one door closes, another one will slam in your face. What more could one want?!\'

Finding Old Music.
Lorna said:

Listening to music is like another form of magic carpet that takes us right back to a certain place and time. Best form of memory there is. It\'s probably why Alzheimer patients still remember to sing - it\'s what\'s left of their lives.....

Finding Old Music.
spilleronsheet said:

Music is the unceasing flowing river that passes by
There is no beginning and no end
It’s eternal
And so soothing
Exactly life is too short to hear all
And every tune connects to a near one beside
Thanks dear poet for sharing this beautiful poetry
