The Ayes (Eyes) Have It.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. I\'ve not been to a bi-monthly poetry group for a while. But they mutter and mumble - I\'m the same. Should I sing to them a hymn-poem?!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

DREAM ON ANDY ~ This wee ode sure hit a chord with many of us ! My dreams take me to AUCKLAND to be with ANGELA and Hers bring her to Essex to be with Me ~ hope we don\'t pass like \"long white clouds\" in the Night ! The other problem is because she is 11 hours ahead timewise ~ while I\'m dreamin\' Angela\'s wide awake and v.v. ! Love the sentiments in the Poem ! Love the EVERLEY BROTHERS ~ every recording a GEM. My Cousin ~ who is a \"Voice Coach\" tells me that because they are Brothers they have a similar Bucal Cavity which allows their voices to resonate and harmonise perfectly. The same is true of The Andrew sisters & the Beverley Sisters ~ The Osmonds ~ The Jackson Five ~ etc OK. Thanks for sharing BRIAN

A fine write and clip Gold. These sort of songs are \'nice\'. I gave up following the pop charts, oh about 1985 I reckon! Any hits in 1066?

The Old Man in the Pub.
Kevin Michael Bloor said:

A beautiful conversational poem, with a peaceful rhythm and tone. The twist at the end adds a touch of pathos and evokes emotion and empathy . Reminds a little of of poem I penned on a pub near me: The Blazing Rag. Again, a beautiful write.

The Old Man in the Pub.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ and for show casing ELLA a great JAZZ SINGER ~ They broke the Mould when she was called home to Heaven ~ I guess the Angelic Choir learned a thing or two from Ella when she arrived. I\'m glad Heaven is for Eternity so many great Stars to hear in the Spirit if not the Flesh ! How high the Moon ~ a great overdubbing by Les Paul & Mary Ford ~ my Dad has the Disc also Several of Ella ! Angela & I are not great frequenters of PUBS (unless it\'s an Elvis or Beatles night !) but I do notice \"OLD MEN in CORNERS\" in my local ~ part of the Furniture and always ready to reminisce (and extrapolate !) about the past ! Lovely nostalgic poem ~ but perhaps a dying breed ~ except in Country Pubs ? By the way ~ How Old is Old these days ? 75+ or younger ? Maybe when I\'m that age Typical British Pubs will have been phased out ~ but don\'t tell JOHN BETTJEMAN ~ Thanks for your comment on Angela\'s POEM much appreciated by both of us ! Yours B & A

Andy,

While I was reading, I was ready to give that man a piece of my mind till I read...

“As that man in the way,
Was me!” 😉

A great Sunday morning treat!
Thank you.

The Man in the Way.
orchidee said:

Oohh why do we \'exist\' sometimes?! lol. Some may walk straight through us, or at us? You entered that battlefield of the supermarkets? Is it worse than 1066?!
And should those motorised wheelchairs be on the path or roads? Some are monsters when they drive them - straight at ya!

Still Flight.
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

A beautiful write! One of my favorite pastimes is to observe birds; especially in flight! Amazing species!
I like Cat’s comment because I too
“wonder what having a bird’s eye view is like from that wondrous height...”
like my flying eagle!

I enjoyed the clip and that movie was awesome! It’s worth watching it again!

~Laura~

P.S.-Is Joyce at home with you?

Marveling at the other life forms of this world. Maybe the solitary bird was taking time out to distance himself from the evenings cat fight banshee cries ahead around your neck of the woods.

Laura🌻 said:

Andy,
You’re a wonderful inspiration!
I don’t need to look outside in the morning to see if the sun is shining. All I need to do is read your writings and I know the sun is shining!
Thank you for this sunny haiku!
