Thank you for your kind words Tamara, I believe I have had,and am having, a good life.

That young lady is very good, I can understand her being referred to as Pavarotti\'s granddaughter as some of her expressions do remind me of him. She will go far in the operatic world.

Goldfinch60, your poem expresses the joy of a life well-lived and it is so thoughtful of you to include your wife in your blessings. I loved this poem.

You speak of classical music and I don\'t know if I\'m allowed to include someone else\'s video on this site due to copyright infringement, so I\'ll just give the url on google.

You have got to hear this young opera singer from the Canary Islands, Spain.

She is the second song on this website and her name is Sislena Caparrosa. Although she is mistakenly referred to as Pavarotti\'s granddaughter on Google, she is not.

Nessun Dorma. Check it out. Second song. I actually cried. She is that good.

or here she is as the opening singer at the soccer games.

Michael Edwards said:

Life is but a thin veneer. When I lost consciousness through blood loss the other week and before being resuscitated I felt as if I were in a calm place floating in air and wondering if this was the end - thankfully they revived before they needed the the defib but for me it was a surreal experience. Yes my life will be worth watching.

Syd said:

I wish I live to write a brilliant poem such as this when I\'m 70 (I\'m 35). This poem oozed with wisdom, reflection and humblenes.

The line \"So much music, so little time\" really stuck out to me.

Great write - Syd

A fine write Gold. Yes a very long life for us - you and me, and maybe others too, who were there since before 1066! heehee.
Any anniversaries next year - years end in \'19, or maybe \'69? e.g. 200 or 250 years ago, etc? Oh the moon landings 1969. We were there to greet the first earthlings!

Writing not Tapping.
Neville said:

it is the acuteness of observations such as these, that take the P from perception and place it firmly in poetry.. I think I might very well have asked the same question... Neville

Oh, you\'re in the Ashmolean museums sometimes God, and I\'m occasionally in the V&A Museum in London. Got some inspiration for a hymn-poem or two from there - to follow in time.

THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ We are both Traditional New Orleans Jazz Freaks and enjoyed every liquid note of Your Video ! It refreshes the Heart & lifts the Soul ! Every Hospital & Care Home should have a Resident Trad JAZZ BAND ~ better than DRUGS. At my Funeral (in 60 years time) I BRIAN want a Trad Jazz Band walking in front of the Horse Drawn Coffin Truck playing \"Just a Closer walk with Thee\" AMEN !

Hippowhatsitphobia Acrostic - For Orchi
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

Signing onto and viewing MPS keeps my abibliophobia at bay! Verbophobia is not one of my afflictions because I’m a logophile ... and proud of it! I enjoyed reading your phenomenal acrostic! Impressive!
Let us know how it went with the Poetry Group!

My love to Joyce and you!

Success in Failure.
Neville said:

the capacity to learn, does not make us uniquely human but the capacity to learn from our own individual mistakes, makes us all individuals... memory is about the storage of information in the correct box and being able to retrieve it when required or necessary.... problems arise when something prevents us from locating the appropriate box when access is required... there is certainly much truth in your final three lines my friend...

Hippowhatsitphobia Acrostic - For Orchi
Michael Edwards said:

Just great - some read - I bet it went down well. I have long been familiar with the flocci etc word - it was written in large letters in the Estimating dpt of a company where I worked back in the early 1970s

orchidee said:

If ya had not giving some definitions at the end, I would have said \'Could ya say all that (poem) again, please?!\'
Ahh - so it\'s nothing to do with hippos, that very long word. heehee.
Ohh I knew \'flocci-knocky...\' Think that\'s how you say it.

Andy,

I totally agree with Michael’s comment!
****************************
When I first saw the title of your poem, I thought I was going to read a sequence of lies written in acrostic form! LOL
Silly me!

I enjoyed the video! I learned something new! Thank you for sharing!

A fine write Gold. Is it worth me trying the bi-monthly local poets group again? Dunno if it\'s still going, but may meet this evening (last Tues of month bi-monthly).
It\'s rather a muttering and mumbling though. I mutter too. doh!
Lets waffle - FIBS of 13, 21, 34, 65, 99..... - words per line? When to stop?!

Such great advice penned in poetic form. We should all learn from your words, \"Anytime you learn from a failure, it is always a success.\"

Thanks for sharing. :-)
