Reminded me of William Carlos Williams\' plums, but maybe the real analogy is to the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Adam and Eve could not resist that shortbread either, and we are still paying for it.

You had that shortbread now? You scoffed the lot?! lol. Was there any in 1066. They could have come to tea with you, with shortbread, instead of listening to me mucking it up!

A fine write and ethereal Gold. Heavenly - but listening to Stockhausen is like being in the other place: H...?! on a quiz show, one commented: \'He wrote weird and eccentric stuff\'.
I had a Ch......catalogue through the door - mustn\'t say the word yet!

Imagination and Dreams.
MendedFences27 said:

Imagination and dreams are different only in the control. We control imagination, at least partially. Dreams occur haphazardly while sleeping. Imagine if we could control our dreams. We could build our own reality. Your poem made me think. Are you controlling my imagination? - Phil A.

It just goes to prove that Golf should never be taken seriously.What with traps, bunkers, flags, and shots it sounds like a war game. Thanks for a good laugh. - Phil A.

it seems to me my friend that although no longer physically by your side, you were truly blessed to have shared the company, closeness and love of those three so very influential people and who are clearly with you in mind and spirit... I doubt whether anyone could write such a heart felt poem, if that was not truly the case.....

Thinking Back.
MelissaJA said:

I often think \"I can\'t believe that I did that!\" and sometimes the tone is good, sometimes not so much! But some day I will look back and regret very little?
