Rainbows And Stars.
Bella Shepard said:

These are the very best words in the world to live by. How did you get so smart? I\'m just thankful that you are. It must be coincidence that just this morning I was listening to Fur Elise as I was sewing. I love ragtime and I love Beethoven, but who would have thought that the two could be melded into such delight. I\'ve never tapped my feet to Beethoven, but I couldn\'t sit still. Thank you for the highlight of my day, and a definite fav.

Jane Frye said:

I believe happiness is a choice. We can choose the darkness or we can look to the stars. I like this poem!

You singing in the rain there? I would, but the rain is rather wet. Strange that is! lol.

Ageless Hippie.
Bella Shepard said:

I was not a hippie, but I was a teenager in the Age of Aquarius and it was an era that truly changed our society. This poem stirs so many so many vivid memories, and I thank you taking me back down the road to an incredible past.

Andy,
I think about my mom every single day. Your poem and Orchiā€™s hymn/poem have made me smile more than I usually do.
She was really into the 60s and 70s music. I have a lot of her music collection.
Thank you for the ā€œmemoriesā€.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Remember when we all signed our notes and letters with phrases like \"Peace and Love\"? another sigh.

Ageless Hippie.
jarcher54 said:

I say never give up that idealism we uncovered within us in those heady days when walls of conformity tumbled down and visions of a beautiful peaceful world shone through. Too many people shy away from idealism. Sigh.

It is so many things beyond an In Memoriam, Andy ā€“ the celebration of a great piece of music, the tragedy of an early life lost in such a savage way, the loss to music. Your piece has all that weight; a fitting tribute.

\'To that place where music never stops.\'
such a beautifully worded dedication, dear Poet
may she rest in peace
\'so many of our exceptionally gifted
succumb to such tragic endings
yet, leave behind
endlessly rewarding works for us
and generations to cherish\'

Another mystery. Why are the \'good\', or some of them, seemingly struck down?

January 27th, 2023 03:10

That\'s Jazz.

A fine write Gold.

Laughter Acrostic.
Fay Slimm. said:

A truly unique pair that could bring on a smile whatever they did - - a thousand thanks for reminding us of the unforgettable sketch of Four-Candles - a world-wide winner in my humble opinion. Thanks ever so Andy say I after wiping my eyes full of laughter.

sorenbarrett said:

So true Andy. The old adage that laughter is good medicine is true. What is funny for one may not be for another but we all need to laugh.

Christina8 said:

Great acrostic Andy! It\'s been a few days since I\'ve had a good laugh...I mean the kind that makes your belly hurt...Think we should have at least one everyday. Awesome!

Laughter Acrostic.
orchidee said:

Oh lol, good write and video Gold.
When it says \'Comedy show\' on TV now, we shouldd yell back: \'Where?!\'
And \'Laugh - I never even started!\'
If we go to bed early enough we miss horrendous stand-up comedians shows.

Watson And Holmes Went Camping.
Bella Shepard said:

I read this, anticipating one of your classic zingers at the end, and you did not disappoint. I have never heard this one, so the last line was one of those \"burst out loud\" experiences. Thank you for brightening my day!

Beautiful poem about light winning over the darkness. Inspirational!

The Knife\'s Edge.
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful poetry Andy
so relatable, a demonstration
of purposed frustration..
(no victory parades
our rewards, merely survival\'s
lament
and repressed tears of regret
blinked
in-to our past, while witnessing
a knife-edge
battlefield, between droplets
of hope
and life\'s, endless tidal waves
of strife)

The Knife\'s Edge.
Doggerel Dave said:

Right to highlight the last lines - a truth, Andy.
Are you a betting man - or if you like I\'ll ask what you believe the outcome to be?

The Knife\'s Edge.
orchidee said:

Good write Gold.
They\'re spiritual words - dark and light.
There were holes in the platform on which I sang to the audience. They wished the holes were bigger so I would fall in one. lol.
