    Clever write Michael.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy. I have to say I was really pleased with the sheer simplicity of the words and the link between subject and syllable count. Simplicity is often more difficult than complexity.

    • orchidee

      Yes, you sorted out those syllables well. Did Miss Berles help you with this one?

      • Michael Edwards

        She sorted it out with her Russian friend, Rue Berles.

          How's the evening going?!

            Who is Eve Ning?

            Thanks UNCLE MIKE : very droll love the shape complementing the 575 :you could call it a UKIAH ! Good morning (its 10 pm here the working week is OVER !) Love the cool picture : Late Summer UK judging by the trees ?
            Blessings through POETRY : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

              Yes - strictly I guess it is a ukiah but I do like to simply refer to these forms by their syllable count as purists can get very tetchy if they don\'t comply with strict \'rules\'. yes late summer I guess but an invented scene.

            • Neville

              yes indeed, very clever

            • Michael Edwards

              Bless you Claudelle

            • dusk arising

              OK, do you remember the old 60's disc dance tune by wilson pickett entitled '6345789' ?

              • Michael Edwards

                Is this another challenge? Your time this time.

                • dusk arising

                  i keep arithmetic and poetry separate. in my opinion the two should never be mixed (i have said this many times) because the result is a compromise.

                  Michael,

                  Great write and painting!

                  747...

                  This reminded me of my parents’ first time traveling in a Boing 747! They bought new luggage with a combination lock. Guess what the combination was to unlock their new suitcases?
