Beautiful!
(words that distil, the simplicity
in appreciating
our gifted shards of happiness
that accumulate over time
to form our trophied mementos
of life)

Fond Holiday Memories.
orchidee said:

It\'s a pity Teddy\'s gone. She and I were getting up a campaign of \'The Cabbage Party to Rule\'. Similar to The Monster Raving Loony Party. And why haven\'t enough people voted for them? lol. Maybe we succeeded partly - \'Lettuce for PM\' as they said!

Fond Holiday Memories.
Doggerel Dave said:

My fond memories of the Isle of Wight:
Sandown, learned to swim, skies aways bright.
Include the same romantic boarding house;
A paddle steamer arrival – that’s right!

I must get it together and write about my childhood holidays - abandon the misery stuff…….

Art, poems, and music all give meaning to life and translate life\'s meaning into their medium. I too love music of almost all types.

Doggerel Dave said:

Your life surrounded by music,
Does that insulate you from life?
World events and at home are sick -
Ignore many affairs so rife?

Only asking, Andy…..

If my life reached back that far I would have been quite privileged to experience the atmosphere above the enjoyment of the big bands\' mere sound and video recordings.

Big Band Swing.
Bella Shepard said:

With this beautiful Tommy Dorsey song playing as I read your poem, it just melts my heart. I can see why you picture your parents dancing, and why it is so meaningful. Music has such power to preserve memories and you have created a rare gem here. Thank you for sharing!

Doggerel Dave said:

Music can evoke memories
Unfiltered by distance and time.
You cared so for these reveries,
This my tribute in simple rhyme.

Bella Shepard said:

Dear Andy, I have to say that you had my toes tapping, head swaying and a great big smile on my face as I listened the the musical accompaniment, and read this delightful poem. So much joy that it is infectious, and a fav!

Doggerel Dave said:


Please tell the name of that hotel -
I’ve stayed in some duds in my time.
Fawlty Towers had nothing on them:
Short-sheeted bed was one such crime.

Wisdom has to be allowed a hearing with quiet attention which sadly is rare in these noisy days. Good points made here Andy.

Words Of The Wise.
L. B. Mek said:

(i can\'t help but feel these words
apply to more than those fools
on our news screens and front pages, Andy)
I recognise \'the fool\' in your words
I see him lurking in mirrors, where
I try to scrub my reflection, clean
of shower fogged, self-doubts
and reality warping ego\'s, foils
one
morning\'s gleaned wisdom, at a time
(Always appreciate the depths in your wisdom, dear Poet)
I read and attempt to heed!
