Thanks for caring & sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian here ~ ANGELA (2pm Thursday - fast asleep I think !) ~ Love the music always a blessing ! Been in WORK today on rota for feeding the Animals and weeding the veg ! Good crop of Onions - Gorgettes & Toms. Im busy making RATATY to freeze for later ! 2 Onions 20 Toms 2 peeled Gorgettes Vegetable stock cube H2O ~ boil til edible ~ AWESOME ! I love Poetry Groups Angela & I are fortunate ! We both write recitable Poetry and we both need a good voice for our JOB. Angela teaches and trains Young Physios. I find it sad (which is often the case in P Groups) People with good Poems often have poor delivery and Poeple with crass Poems often have good delivery. We have some who stutter etc so Iam happy to read poetry for them if asked. But sometimes a sad elegy read haltingly at a Funeral has much more power than an eleoquent delivery. Its like an elderly Gentleman singing *When your Old Wedding Ring was New* accapello at his Diamond Wedding ~ I will be 97 in 2080 ! Love the *before & after* way you have presented your POME !
Blessings & Peace to You & Joyce
Love in the Spirit BRIAN & ANGELA

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?!

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!

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.

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

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 :)

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
