Nobody writes \'em like you do though Andy.
Have you decided on an epitaph? My ex told me a couple of years back that she wanted a certain song to be played at her funeral \"be cool\" by Joni Mitchell. I am envious of her choice. Joni\'s lyrics are to die for.
As a young man, waiting for dead man\'s shoes job promotion wasn\'t good enough for me and took me onto adventures where i swiftly rose to my own level of incompetence. Where I comfortably remain .... I know my place LOL

Shark Cloud.
L. B. Mek said:
lots of sharks around us, at all times
some symbolic
most, very real
but sharks are attracted to weakness, to blood..
so its important, we strive to keep ourselves safe, at all times
we shouldn\'t rely on the sympathy of others,
but still offer sympathy to others when we can,
that\'s the only, we get a shot
at looking up and admiring the blue sky\'s, in our lives
even, if only once in a while...
(a wonderfully emotive quality to your poem today, inspired me to scribble a little reply, thanks Andy
hope you have a great weekend)

Shark Cloud.
Fay Slimm. said:
yes clouds can have many faces that change with the breeze or wind - a good metaphor ending in a brilliant last line - thanks too dear Andy for the number I had not heard in years - Paul still had the appeal of perfect tone and audible linguistics..

Shark Cloud.
dusk arising said:
On a blue sky day with cotton wool clouds, where do the clouds go?
Clouds really enhance the visual effects of any landscape/seascape effecting our inner feelings and how we relate to the world around us at that time.
A shark is an analogy which got me thinking.

Electric cars bug me at the moment Andy. It\'s so fkkn middle class. You need a driveway to charge the damn thing up overnight..... If u live in terraced housing and/or only have on street parking (how many millions of car owners have to rely on \'on street parking\') - how you going to charge your car up overnight when it\'s parked round the corner etc.
I love your poem and the mind boggles at wind powered carrier (blown out of the water by a nuclear sub, having been becalmed for months at sea ).
Fishermens Friends the lozenge. Always reminds me of when the very gay Julian Clary\'s voice suddenly became very hoarse and he quipped \" I think i shall have to go into the wings and suck a fishermans friend\".

Andy,
A beautiful uplifting read. Thank you for sharing your wonderful pen and your great choice of video. Hauser is one of my favorites. I will never forget his rendition of ‘O Sole Mio’ he performed in Capri.

\'The lawns so green
Surrounded by the wonder,
The wonder of Nature.
The trees and bushes
Bringing delight to my sight.\'
this is beautiful
are those clouds for real?
so majestic and tranquil,
your write took me back to my football days,
when we would spend an entire day playing, and then just lay on the grass
and watch the clouds, wordlessly
sharing that moment of serenity...
a wonderful read Andy and the energy of the music goes with it so well

Erm, I\'m not envious. We have rural or semi-rural areas about 2 miles from home, and a woodland about 1 mile away.

Had to Google Dowlish Wake....... I wish you wouldn\'t do this to me, Andy - I may have been in Australia for a long time now, but I still have feelings for the Old Country, you know....It looked great, plus croquet - you almost make me envious (no, correct that - you DO make me envious - for a little while!)
Lovely nostalgic write.
