    Proverbial pain,
    As the rock goes up,
    Only to roll down.

    A fine write and pic M. Is this Sisyphus Berles?!

    • Michael Edwards

      Not to be confused with Syphilis Berles.

      • orchidee

        Oh no, no confusion - swoon!

        Michael,

        An interesting write...
        I sincerely hope your new commission is not the ‘Sisyphean task’ referred to in today’s 575! 😉

        I love the painting!

          Good gracious no - I wrote this some time ago and I'm struggling to write new work at the moment so digging into archives. The cottage has now been totally renovated and looks nothing like this anymore - sad really but the old tin roof didn't look anywhere as attractive as it does in the idealised painting.

            😄I was mostly kidding with you with my comment; hence the winking 😉 emoji!

            Reads like me staring at my screen when my muse has done a runner.

              I stare at the page
              Unassisted by my muse
              far too many gins

                • ANGELA & BRIAN

                  YES INDEED UNCLE MIKE ! TWO Birds in the BUSH are always better than ONE Bird in the HAND ! Touchee ~ BRIAN !

                  Maybe if I read all parts I would comprehend this better? Anyway this is an awesome poem in brevity, great word choice. Kudos.

                  It's always nice to delve in to your muse on my reading tours.

                  Would you pls pleez give your thoughts/ comments on my newest poem too?

                  Hi Michael,

                  Good write.

                  Sometimes life itself with its challenges can be a bit futile.

                  Keep writing FineB
