Umbrella or Parasol.

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!

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.

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?!\'

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.

First: Goldfinch, get well soon!
Second: Love that poem, and when I look at the two of us, I have to say that it is awfully hard for us to improve on perfection! :-)

Beautiful poem AND beautiful picture, Goldfinch! It is amazing how we connect love to different things like this moon, roses, rainbows and more.

Funny we both wrote about the moon tonight :) I was moved so much by its presence the past few days I couldn\'t resist. It\'s incredible what moonlight can make us feel.

I saw it first thing - it lit up the whole of our cul-de-sac shining on wet roads, pavements and water - it was indeed quite some sight. Great write about this unusual event.

The Glory of Mozart.
Louis Gibbs said:
He was indeed a gifted channel of the music of the heavens, one of several of that time period. Enjoyed sharing you appreciation of it, Goldie.

The Glory of Mozart.
Seeker said:
Ahh Mozart! Music nonpareil. Classical music, especially Beethoven, quite literally saved my sanity in my teen years. Your poem reminds me how fortunate I was then and now since I recently married a lady with a passion for the classics. Your tableau of music, food and a good woman is a beautiful one. Than you for the cued remembrance and image.

Michael Edwards said:
Mozart is not my favourite composer when it comes to orchestral work but he\'s at the top of my tree in piano works - my favourite instrument by far with only the cello coming near. This is such a beautiful piece as is your poem of the day - enjoyed it.

Life is experiencing. We must be appreciative of the gift of experiencing both ends of the spectrum ... the rainbows and the storms.
Well expressed in this good poem, Goldie!

Your reflective poem reminds me of one of
Joseph Campbell’s quotes...
“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned,
so as to have the
life that is waiting for us.”
Great write!
I enjoyed listening to the clip!
