Experience.
Doggerel Dave said:
What have you got if not experience?
A practice proven and is tried and true:
Ignore it and you have incompetence;
This a warning to me rather than you.

one might well argue that experience is the mother of knowledge .. rightly or wrongly I\'m gonna stand by that .. until some bright spark comes along and proves me wrong ... until then tho\' tis a no brainer ... Neville :)

Fiery Fred.
Doggerel Dave said:
With a tribute to Fred Trueman,
A tale of cricket at that time,
You writ a good ‘un as a fan -
And also a rattling good rhyme.
Always knew you had it in you, Andy. Send them rhymes flying down… 🙂 A rattling good yarn too.

What does a cricket have to do with \"Cricket?\" Why isn\'t it called \"Wickets?\" Why is he called a \"Bowler\" when he throws the ball.
Too many questions about this game.
I had no idea what your poem was about, except Cricket. I did enjoy reading it though. - Phil A.

Innocence.
Bella Shepard said:
Such a beautiful description of the voyage of discovery for a young child. Life does seem to age us quickly, but I\'ve found as successive grandchildren have come along, 10 in all, each time I have been able to relive that innocence through their eyes. I also love the video, a young man who takes his trumpet playing seriously.

Innocence.
Doggerel Dave said:
Reckon socialisation buggers it
And it’s conformity which has the say
When individuality has to pit
Itself against others in the games all play.
The kid described with great truth there, Andy.

Indispensable People.
Bella Shepard said:
This poem has such a powerful message. There is no person, no job, that is not important, from the person who cleans the bathrooms at Walmart to the mechanic that works on my car. And those who think that they are above only mock themselves. Thank You!

I agree with you, Gold. Music heals and soothes my soul, if only more people would share that with each other.

Resignation To Life.
SureshG said:
She chose, and in so choosing even cancer could not rob her of her smile. Even what befalls her son, does not rob her of her smile. She resigned to live her remaining days as she chooses.
Thank you for letting us know that we have a choice.

Of course, it’s Ozymandias springs to mind….
Or Narcissistic personality?
Centre of the universe? Do be kind -
Oblivion is for eternity.

as we journey through life, we inevitably meet all sorts .. and I ant talking liquorice .. and like you have already indicated, not one of us is indispensable .. sadly though, not everyone realises until it is too late .. Neville

Sometimes, the bravest of us all are secretive. She felt no need to share her plight with a stranger. An uplifting though sad write Andy. - Phil A.

Not much more to add after dusk got in first.
When I\'m here I\'m here,
When I\'m not I\'m not.
Let’s not live in fear -
Value what I’ve got.

There are only two certainties in existence - birth and death. Might as well come to terms with the fact that we die eventually rather than living in fear of it. Once you\'ve come to terms with it then you can get on with enjoying life.

Peace In Music.
MendedFences27 said:
If only the world could make music and not war. I\'ve often considered music as a powerful force. It can, indeed, bring people together. I believe it would bring peace if countries\' people had the choice and not their authoritarian despots. A well-spoken plea for peace through music. - Phil A.
