Umbrella or Parasol.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ for all of us (irrespective of age or status) Life is always a mixture of Agony & Ecstasy ~ Showers & Sunshine. We use our inner strength to combat the former and embrace the latter. As you indicate the faithful BROLLY can function both as a PARAPLUIE and a PARASOL just as versatile as our INNER MAN ~ AMEN ~ Yours Brian

The Poem We Did Not Understand.
Louis Gibbs said:

An abstract poem which stimulates thought is fine ... a poem so obtuse that a meaning cannot be gleaned is another. I cannot appreciate a poem that, upon careful examination, amounts to gibberish. But then, one man\'s gibberish is another man\'s poetry, I suppose.
Good, thought-provoking write, Goldie!

Fay Slimm. said:

The genius of Spender glows through these recited lines and led so well into your own posting on what good poetry should leave as an aftertaste. Well done for these lovely reminders dear Goldi.

The Poem We Did Not Understand.
orchidee said:

I didsh not get past the title even, with being on the sherry! You mean \'Shee Schape\' by Shteephen Schpender\'? I knowsh it well.
Mind you, I can only understand it after three sherries!
Yet some poems can get too complex, and we may blank them out altogether. Did anyone say ;\'Garbage?!\'

The Poem We Did Not Understand.
Michael Edwards said:

This is so true - to my mind a good poem should pose questions and leave some points open to interpretation - just like a good abstract painting. A spot-on write Andy.
