Unused Words From dusk arising.
dusk arising said:
He stood on the bridge at mid-day
the Avon flowed beneath
he dreamed up hippothingameejig
and common sense therefore ceased
twas on the good walk riverside
where the ducks have all gone quakkers
you have to watch the nasty things
or they\'ll beak you in the knackers
i\'m pleased with your use of those words. I thnk you cheated with uvuncular because i found it to be a correct spelling. However, poetic license allows rules to be turned on their head, not that anybody uses rules anymore anyhow.
Walking briskly by the avon
before his face were shaven
was a pure delight
to raise an appetite
and start his coffee craving.

BRIAN HERE ~ GOOD EVENING Uncle Andy ~ What are You on ? Or have you been reading Andrews book *Poetry in Motion !* Rhyme as well as Rhythm ! I printed it to make sure the Rhyme Pattern was consistent and it is ! xaxa xbxb xcxc xdxd xexe ! It reads & recites well ~ almost like some of A & Bs doggerel (monotonous rhthym !). I agree with the tenor of your Poem. Crisis creates Companionship ! We have got to know most of our Neighbours with the Thurday Night *Last Night of the Proms* Potz & Panz Percussion Orchestra singing *You*ll Never walk Alone* a la Michael Ball & Major(promotion up the ranks) Tom ! The Brits Mantra is always HUMOR *Smile when your Heart is aching ....... !*
Love the video ~ cool sax ~ almost Aka Bilkish in its register ?
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛💛

just how I feel - keep the humour coming. The only trouble is British humour can be a little dry and often beyond the ken of other natonals.

What a day today is...it must be the sunshine.
Excellent music and vid. A completely different approach to sax from mine, so soft and lyrical. I\'m more in the Rollins school but thoroughly enjoyed it. \'Clarinette-sh\' sound.
Well you rhymer! It\'s there within us all and comes out with the sunshine maybe. Such a light bright and joyful write today. Absolute pleasure to read and wholeheartedly agree with it\'s message.

Alan .S. Jeeves said:
Ever since WW2 people of this nation have been able to own their own house, have a (or several) cars, eat what they will, drink their fill and travel where they please in relative peace. They felt comfortable and secure and had no need of the friendship of strangers when they own a host of tv sets and electronic gadgetry.
In such a short space of time all this has changed and people are frightened and insecure. They find that they do need to say good morning to others that they don\'t know.
Prior to this lockdown thing I would meet countless souls on my morning walk in the countryside where I live and received no reply to a morning greeting. Now all but two have replied with a smile.
Strange times indeed Andy.

Ha coincidence.... i finally had some flour delivered and made some \'Mary Berry\'s fork biscuits\' absolutely gorgeous! And so simple with only 3 ingredients.
Trying to decide which bread recipe to follow now. I cant get strong flour delivered (demand suddenly rocketed) so i cant use my bread machine grrrrr.

I returned from a walk down the country lanes with a pocket full of samples of wild flowers (only small samples so as not to cause any damage to the environment) which I couldn\'t name so I could identify them at home with the aid of a book. I was completely taken by surprise at the sheer numbers of different flowers now on display - I never counted them but they must have been i
well over 20 just on my short walk.
great write Andy.

Must be the lack of traffic along riverside and the general hullabaloo of the town has relaxed the atmosphere sufficiently. I only saw one once over a stream in herefordshire about 30 yrs ago... so memorable.
Super write reminds us of the beauty of this world.

I like to think that, like in Borges\' story The Library of Babel, all possible versions of your poem exist until you, like some anti-intellectual barbarian, destroy all the versions but the one that\'s left. Thanks for your thoughtful little poem and for not destroying the last version.

It\'s said that nothing is ever erased from our minds, that it\'s all in there somewhere. When trying to remember, e.g. a name of someone, we may not recall it at once, but maybe hours or even couple of days later - from the depths of our mind. Unless empty-headed (no change there then?! lol).
