Success in Failure.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ For some excellent advice ! If I\'m really honest we only learn by our OWN MISTAKES. Love the music : not many Female virtuoso Horn Players ! Blessings & Love to JOYCE & Yourself

Success in Failure.
orchidee said:

A good write Andy. We may plunge into the failure at the time, then may sometimes only learn later from it, so it becomes constructive, or redemptive - spiritual word there, meaning it \'saves, helps us somehow\'. Not that we can earn our salvation though.

The more I learn the harder it becomes to retrieve it - fine write Andy and a great video.

Old Fashioned? Moi?

Andy,

Electronic payments...
One of my pet peeves!
I don’t like them at all!
I pay by cash wherever and whenever I can! In this case, I’m glad I’m old fashioned!

I enjoyed the clip!
Have you seen the film, “The Hours”? It’s a great one!

My love to Joyce and to you!

~Laura~

orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. It\'s embarrassing if paying by credit/debit card, and payment is not accepted.
\'What are cheques?\' some people say, as if they went out of fashion around 1066.

Probably but not alone. I do know the problem - I have been held up in queues several times by someone using the newer \'quicker\' more \'convenient\' technology.

That Flaming Song!

I\'ve no idea where they get the inspiration to play Christmas music so early - I\'m with you - I feel like walking out of the shop and sometimes doi.

That Flaming Song!
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

WOW UNCLE ANDY : Ella & Summertime ~ Liquid Love ! Don\'t knock the DEAD ! Granddad Bing (b. 1903) I love him and he influenced all the great Ballad Singers that followed : Sinatra NKC Jim Reeves Tony Bennett Tom Jones etc. What I love about WHITE CHRISTMAS is that Bing had the temerity to WHISTLE in it. Bing didnt rate it : but Irving Berlin said to his Secretary after she had stenographed it for Him \"I think weve got a good one here !\" Remember ANDY that we Girls have lots & lots to do @ Christmas and buying Pressies etc really does start on 2nd of JANUARY ! Advent love to Both of You : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

There is, without any doubt, something very special about that silvery light she throws... penned to perfection.. N

Bah-Humbug.

The supermarkets are full of christmas goodies. Yep earlier every year. By the time christmas arrives they\'ll be sold out.

I\'m puzz;ing over how i can make a 4 yr old grandaughters christmas a little happier with a present this year... i have no idea at all. I see her busily playing a game on her mum\'s mobile phone and think to myself..... wow!

Beautiful tribute to true love Goldi - a pleasure to read.

Seasons of Love.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love ABs mellow tone ~ distinctive and evocative. Just like JOYCE & Yourself ~ ANGELA and I have an Eternal Love ~ FOR ALL SEASONS ! Its a bit topsy turvy at the moment ! Angela is morphing from Spring to Summer while I am morphing from Autumn into Winter ! This paradox (and separation) only increases our LOVE & never diminishes it ~ AMEN ~ Love to you both Brisn & Angela 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Fay Slimm. said:

Yes dear Goldi poets can be strangely out of this world when we get a subject invading our mind - I love the chosen video too and the group singing laments over children running the show .... yet I agree that last verse says it all - - how our offspring are missed when they leave home. Good read.

Irish! IRISH! The Carries are a very famous SCOTTISH duo, their most famous song is “Flower of Scotland “ which is the Anthem of the Scotland Rugby Union team.

I always have notebook and pen with me to write down ideas and poems.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Ahhhhhhh UNCLE ANDY ~ All Irish Music is sacred ! ANGELA & I love the Pubs in the Republic (no hard Border please !) where there is always a fluid Band in the corner ! You are always welcome to sit in & play or sing ! They love Angela because She can sing \'Forty Shades of Green\' in Spanish ! Love the instruments : Irish Drum : Fiddle : Penny Whistle : 12 String Guitar : Banjo etc ! Thanks for posting the Corries.
All my and (Angelas) Poems start off as manuscripts ~we always carry a spiral notebook and biro. I had a fountain pen once but now (like the feather quills Orchidee uses) they are ANACHRONISMS along with SNOPAQUE and ERASERS. I love the way in which MPS allows REVISIONS also how easy they are to make on a PC ~ Technology Rules OK ~ The Laptop is Mightier than the Laser Stick ! Love the Video & Verse ~ Blessings & Love to you BOTH ~
BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Debsspot said:

I love the sense of humor in these coffee shop poems. What a wonderful gift to your subjects. I\'ll bet he was surprised to find out not everyone is self absorbed.
If I work on a poem its usually in long hand. It helps me think. I get the idea down however I can depending on where I am but I do enjoy writing it down.

I also write all the time - when I am not sketching that is. The pencil is always on the go.

dusk arising said:

Every piece in MPS creates a mental picture. Today yours throws up a couple of questions for me. Do these entertaining writes take long to compose/edit. Are you always equipped with a notepad, and most importantly, what does your other half do whilst you compose. Is she a collaborator or nose buried in the favourite daily paper....

Maybe those q\'s are a subject for another piece?

I actually write letters too!

Autumn Is With Us - HAIKU.
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

The beautiful Fall colors are captured in your haiku. Yet, Winter is upon us, so I must add another line to your poem.

\"The greens turn to gold,
The oranges change to red,
Autumn is with us,
as evidenced by the cold.\" :-)

I adore these.. when I stumble upon a good one, they epitomise the concept of \'less is more\'.. this is good, in my book... N
