L. B. Mek said:

still, my friend -your watch will stop again, lost within nature\'s embrace or one of life\'s quickly forgotten wonder\'s,
still, we must yearn to squeeze every last drop from that bitter fruit, we call life...
simple words, reflecting on tender memories have that effect letting your readers delve and lose themselves, awash in similarly cherished scenes of their own recalled memories
a wonderful write!

It Rained.
MendedFences27 said:

A river\'s flow is like water under the bridge. Which has absolutely nothing to do with your poem, but i thought it funny.
Rain and its aftermath are great subjects for poetry. Here you\'ve left us all wondering if it was real or not. I say real. I\'ve seen it when it hits the ground and almost immediately dries. A solid write. - Phil A.

It makes more sense to send the politicians back to school,- Phil A.

Back to School.
Michael Edwards said:

They only feed us what they want us to hear. The only meaningful statistics are excess deaths and numbers admitted to hospital. All other stats are meaningless. Yet they don\'t tell us those - only the numbers who died with Corvid whether or not that was the actual cause. And bad though it is who wants to know on a daily basis the running total of alleged deaths . Grrrrr

orchidee said:

So.... a politician opened their mouth again, and.... it\'s as you say.
There\'s more pictures in the papers again, of BoJo as a clown. Are they past the sympathy stage of when he was ill?
There might be a revolt. Maybe they won\'t ALL go back to school? Remember that footballer and the free school meals thingy. He deserves a medal.

L. B. Mek said:

though depicting a literal event of an everyday occurrence,
there is a sense of the incredulity in the voice of the poem - at society\'s ignorance levels in this historic months of wide spread suffering being endured by the less fortunate,
a reflective and thought provoking write

Is History Right?
Neville said:

You pose an interesting question Andy, one that many of us have asked from time to time.. I personally think the question needs to be asked.. but there is often a big discrepancy between actual historical events which make up history and desired alternative outcomes ... obviously there are undesirable events, those we would rather forget or wish never happened .. but there will always be sore losers and sadly.. the rich and powerful will always have a loud voice ....

L. B. Mek said:

an indicatively penned sharing of such feverishly felt indignation,
I blame it on lazy car engineering: how can they manufacture cars with auto everything but cant find a way for the signalling system to be automated?

dusk arising said:

Such a shame so many are afraid to look at that historic book in the way you describe, yes the bible.... why were so many gospels left out of it and banned on pain of death by the early roman church? - To make sure future generations were kept blind to the whole truth of course.

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Monday Uncle Andy - Thanks for some Cool Jazz on a hot day. Love the plucked Acoustic Bass & a nice Bone Solo. We love New Orleans ~ always an impromptu Jazz Ensemble in the STREET ! Angela & I being young & tanconscious always choose the SUNNY SIDE !
As far a HISTORY is concerned it is always BIASED by the writer or film maker / recorder etc ~ in favour of His / Her own Country - Class - Creed - Culture & Club etc ! You have to look @ both sides to get a mre OBJECTIVE PICTURE of History !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love BRIAN & ANGELA & SMOKEY ! ! !

Ans what about roundabouts - I bet at least 50% of drivers on the road fail to observe the highway code - they are worse at roundabouts - when they do indicate the chances are that they are still indicating right when the exit the roundabout.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here ~ Good Sunday ~ Uncle Andy ~ Nothing liak e bit of French Jazz to lift the Spirits ~ A vivacious Singer & a touch of the Grapellis !

La MER - The Sea we see the Sea
Dancing along the Shores of clear Bays
Shimmering with Silver
Changing shimmers - under the rain
The Sea - with her Summer sky
Mix up her Whte Horses
With the Angels - so pure - BEAUTIFUL

Love the RANTER ~ Signalling !
BRIAN & I are both Advanced Drivers and it makes you
wonder how some Road Users ever passed their TEST.
MSM is so obvious ~ that some fail to use it. Brian & I
always buy British Cars ~ One behaves when driving ONE !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey 💛💛💛

A fine write Gold.
i should do more about some roads in our area. There are plans for speed restrictions on some roads here. Or speed bumps.
Our road was recently re-surfaced. Some say it was not done properly. I can\'t see the trouble. Doh!
