Use pencil - ya can erase things easily! I nearly always do, then type up poems on to files gradually, after having written a few. Or get our quills out?!

Crossing Out.
dusk arising said:

Ha, do you use a quill when writing too? I\'m laughing at your description of the practicality of writing. Recalling an ex who shuffled three or four pieces of A4 lined paper full of crossings out and margin jottings as she attempted to fluently read the poem she had just composed.

How much easier i find composition using the simplest of word processors on my laptop having myself graduated from the pen and paper of years ago. I think that being so much more orderly, it assists the creative juices to flow more readily.

A great subject for your poem today. I expect it will be fun in your group too.

Glad some of you are having fun there. The Poetry Group I went to seemed bit dreary, and some waffled on. We could think \'Oh no, not another poem from him/her\'.
I\'m sure some pretended they liked the poems, with feeble applause after each one.
And now a song: \'Alway\'...……….! heehee. I dunno the words to it yet!

Oh I\'ve not been to Poetry Group for ages - if it\'s still running. Doh! It would have been last night too - last Tuesday in the month, bi-monthly.

A fine write Gold. It\'s just me, but I rarely seem to cross out much, or to \'start again\'. I do occasionally though.
\'Tis a good write, right I am sure!\'
I fell out with a publisher, who did not like \'alway\' - how fussy! As if a publication depended on that as a major issue. I thought: \'Grrr, but it don\'t rhyme otherwise, ya daft ******\'Woof! Fido stopped me there!

That unconditional love for our offspring is a wonderful thing. I know the rewards grandchildren bring to us in our senior years.
Such joy.

I hope your words were well received, as they are here.

Mistakes.
dusk arising said:

So very true of course. And one becomes more prepared to accept the risks of making mistakes ... they do indeed teach us.

Good observational stuff.

A wise reminder dear Andy - mistakes are what make us if we see them aright. Thank you for the beautiful solo and verse .

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE ! Thanks for sharing Uncle Andy - DVORAK Arias are always a great Blessing. The poem reminds us of two important facts !
1. We can only learn by our own mistakes !
2. We must never forget our MISTAKES !

Blessings & Peace - to You & Joyce
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

It\'s this \'thinking\' that does it. It\'s very dangerous for us, we know! heehee.

A poem... Truly a gift of the heart. Your son really loves you, I\'m very happy for both of you, and happy that we all have this fantastic poem. By the way, Sing Sing Sing is literally my favorite song. Excellent song choice, Gold :)

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ BRIAN here. Im still laughing at the SILENT MONKS version of the HALLELULAH CHORUS ! Im posting it to several of my Friends who conduct Choirs and daring them to Practice it for CHRISTMAS. We have a bit more LIBERTY in Evangelical Circles ! We often do Choruses with the Kids with Words on Boards ! YOUTUBE is mine of Goodies. Check Angelas poem with CAT STEVENS \"Morning has Broken ~ Beautiful Video !
I agree with the sentiment in your Discourse. For those who would provoke us A Gentle Answer or No Answer does (in my experience) turn away wrath. Thanks for caring & sharing.

Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love BRIAN & ANGELA

You experienced one of those welcomed moments that are unexplainable! Your aim that morning was to go see Joyce...and you did! Miracles do happen!
