MANY OF US ~ had booked (or wanted to book) Holidays Abroad in 2020 ~ but have had our plans dashed & our expectations thwarted by the COVID 19 Pandemic. Angela & I have put ours on hold until 2021 rather than risk it this Year ! However millions of Brits have hit on a cheaper no-fly option ! I C E L A N D ! No No No ! I dont mean the Country of Hot Lakes & Volcanoes ~ I mean *ICELAND The Frozen Food Outlet* in your Shopping Mall ! Two of the Joys of Foreign Travel are the Cuisine & the Plonk ! Go to *Iceland* choose your Country and the deep-freeze baskets and the Booze Section will do the rest ~ AMEN. Light the Barbie ~ Chill the Wine ~ Deck Chairs & Parasols & Paddling Pool in the Garden and to square the Circle ask Alexa to Play some Foreign Music ~ OLE ! ENJOY ~ Your Foreign Holiday for a week @ 1O% the cost ! A survey showed the top eight Countries whose Frozen Food we are buying ~ O La La !
ITALIAN (33%) Pizza & Pasta ~ Chianti in a Basket ~ Delicious
SPANISH (23%) Paella & Tapas ~ Rioja por Favor ~ Appetising
GRECIAN (23%) Lamb Kleftico & Beef Stifado ~ Retsina ~ Classical
AMERICAN (21%) Steaks & Burgers & KFC ~ Root Beer ~ Enjoy
FRENCH (13%) Escargots - Cuisses de Grenouille ~ Rose d'Anjou
INDIA (0.6%) Chicken Korma - Beef Madras ~ Cobra Beer ~ Spicey
MEXICO (0.3%) Chilli con Carne y Arroz ~ Sol Beer ~ Muy Piquante

Oohh, it's the Co-op for me - not! Too expensive. Poundland then!
Waitrose shoppers seem to always be on the gin, going by their free waffly newspaper each week. The articles in there are so spiffing!
Thanks Uncle Steve ~ Covid has made us all Money Conscious ~ If we want value for money we go to ALDI ! I doubt if one could do ones weekly Grocery Shop at Poundland ! Most of their items are NOT Edible ! Waitrose is the choice of Upper & Upper Middle Classes like Boris ~ OK
Blessings & Joy to You & Your prestigious Pup
Love in the Spirit - Brian - Angela & Smokey Cat !
whats the poem here. ive read about a cold food store and a list of foreign foods we buy but i think you forgot the poem. Haha. apologies if i have completely missed the point of your post. I am finding mps a little confusing at times. Love Diane
Good Afternoon Diane ~ Angela here - I get confused as well ! Thanks for your objective critique ! BRIAN tells me that MODERN POETRY is any collection of Words in any order ! So by that Definition this is a GREAT MOERN POEM ~ Because it does have Structure and a Subject. Brian loves lists and tries to turn them into *POEMS* by giving a list Rhyme & Rhythm ~ This one does have Rhythm & Reason ~ But no rhyme ! Our POEMS are colaborations and when He showed me the list I promised a *Street Food Map of Europe* and I video on Spain because I have a Spanish Papa who is a Wine Merchant for RIOJA Wines ! So we put it together and I added the intro about creating a European Holiday in your own backyard from the Supamarket ! See it all makes sense if you know its Provenance ! The *Modern Poem* is acctually the NINE line list ~ Starting with ITALIAN - and ending with - OK
As well as intriguing & amusing - the other thing a POEM should do is INFORM and this POEM sure does that - OK !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA & BRIAN !
Angela, I just saw your description of modern poetry as being any collection of Words in any order ! .... erm. Who ever taught you that did a bad job. If you actually believe that phrase to be factual then i can begin to understand one or two things about your posts. Even the shopping list you posted today - which can't be classed as poetry in the classical style so i guess it must be modern poetry - is hardly a any collection of Words in any order ! Though I do see DianeKey6's point when she remarks - I think you forgot the poem.
ANGELA HERE ~ HI DIANE & DUSK ARISING ! I apologise that my definition of MODERN POETRY AS *Any Words in any Order\" was a bit tongue in cheek. Brian & I do like to infuse a bit of humour into MPS from time to time. I have been reprimanded by DA in his comment. I the past there have been Poems on MPS that have lacked Rhyme - Rhythm & Reason but less so now ! My definition of Modern Poetry (MP) would be:
1. The SUBJECT of the MP can be anything
2. The MP must treat the SUBJECT directly
3. WORDS that do not contibute to the POEM should be avoided
4. An MP (for recitation) should contain RHYTHM
5. Free verse should be encouraged ~ to avoid being *Rhyme Led*
6. Common speech should be encouraged ~ the EXACT WORD !
I drafted a MODERN POEM on Loneliness ~ before I met BRIAN ! Ive never posted it on a Poetry Site so I will post it tomorrow for you to see ~ and if you wish coment on.
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ~ ANGELA 💛💛💛
Extract from a comment you made in march Angela..... Modern Poetry has been
described as *Any WORDS in Any ORDER !* We who favour Classical Poetry select our WORDS much more carefully - to Scan perhaps to Rhyme and to fit like a jigsaw - into Pantoums - Acrostics - Sonnets - Haiku etc etc. We seek for perfection of Form - and by the careful choice of words Function ! Every Word in a Poem has value
