The First Move.
Fay Slimm. said:

Yes all the lonely people and never moving around to meet others but sitting at home - such a sad state of affairs and perhaps a pen-friend club is the answer at first to encourage contact....... your verse spells out need without a doubt.

This is a very fine piece indeed Goldfinch.
There are those who choose the singleton way and are quite happy with it among the apparently lonely too.

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : ANGELA HERE 10pm and almost time for BED ! The MAORIS live in extended Families so in all the Maori Families I have visited in POOY NOOY (smell like a Kipps Apparatus H2S : Brian has an empty one in his Flat !) there were NO lonely ONES. In the UK Parents & GParents often live 100\'s of miles away from Children and in America they are thousands of miles apart. The answer is OLD PEOPLES HOMES but that is not the Solution they are some of the loneliest plces on Earth ! In the UK Brian & I live close to our folks and see them regularly ! Brian visits my PAPA for a glass of RIOJA and a chat : in SPANISH ! MAMA is also fluent ! Brain is good with Geriatrics (now he is Middle Aged - 35 !) and organises the SENIORS CLUB & SILVER SURFERS @ College. Love the MUSIC very soothing & soporific. Ive listened to the whole piece ~ while writing this comment and now I am asleep !

Blessings & lasting Peace & Joy to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Nobody ever visits a PHYSIO cos theyre LONELY but cos theyre DISJOINTED !

...in fact it was worse than my singing, if one was able to \'smell\' my singing!

A good write Gold. Some - a few - may be off-putting though. I encountered a pongy person. I mean an indescribable smell. I nearly retched. Smelt like rotten flesh. I don\'t know their situation though.

What a true write and so many of them are the elderly who deserve not to be so.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD AFTERNOON ~ Uncle ANDY thanks for sharing the whole of FROM THE NEW WORLD or as ANGELA would call it DEL MONDO NUEVO ! We need a bit of pedanticism or everythong would decline to TEXTSPEAK ! I have several BEEFS mainly in Science when people on Quiz Shows confuse ELEMENTS & COMPOUNDS ! My biggest beef is with pH ! As you know the *p* notation is employed to turn negative INDICIES into positive INTEGERS ! Our friend *p* is the log (base 10) of the reciprocal ! Consequently pH is the *log (base 10) of the reciprocal of the H+ ion ! One sees hair products labelled as Ph (which is the Phenyl radical - C6H5) neutral or PH (which is the Ordinance Survey symbol for PUBLIC HOUSE !) neutral ! I havent seen *ph* yet ! I teach HAIRDRESSING SCIENCE and I try to impress on the GIRLS the importance of it being *pH* and not Ph or PH ~ OK. Due to medievil use WATER & AIR are often described as important ELEMENTS. People should also note that AIR is a MIXTURE (of gases) and not a COMPOUND ! We live in increasingly sloppy days where nothing is sacred ! I used to work for Chemical Abstracts and being an ORGANIC CHEMIST I gloried in the preciseness and exactness of ORGANIC NOMENCLATURE an exact way of precisely and perfectly maning more than six million componds all containing carbon !

Blessings & Peace to You and Joyce

Good write Gold. Yes, this was so in 1066. I tried to judge the arrow\'s trajectory mathematically. I did not do enough research. It was done superficially. Then unbelievably I said the words to Harold....

Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

Spot on with your poem!
I enjoyed the read and am thankful to be reminded that it’s better to be in the game than not! You sum it up best with the last three lines...

“But always remember,
That win or lose,
You are still in the game.”

Joie de vivre!

My love to Joyce and to you!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Angela here : A great meditation for SUNDAY ! Brian & I love PHANTOM : a very salutary modern PARABLE on the foibles of LIFE & LOVE. Over that past fifteen years Brian & I have tasted the AGONY & ECSTASY of Life & Love and accepted them equally as part of the process of *Growing up and Maturing* Both being Scientists we have never sought to escape into Fantasy : BUT we havent been on HONEYMOON yet ! We got close on our tour of S ISALAND (NZ) and wished we could have stayed in Milford Sound for ever. Thanks for caring & sharing CARPE DIEM !

Blessings & Peace & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
