FIVE SEVEN FIVES (ONE)

Michael Edwards

 

Rocks wet and shining

Unseen by those who won’t see

Closed minds have no sight.

    I like the message in your haiku/senryu. So true.

  • L. B. Mek

    forgive my rudeness, Michael
    I meant no disrespect, initially
    your art took me
    to seashore rock faces
    and then your words inspired me
    to pen a little poetic reply..
    thanks for sharing, dear Poetic Artist
    such work of deeply insightful commentary..
    (hard to budge
    dense stubbornness
    but formed of, of
    survival's, pure minerals
    so they know
    change, is inevitable
    but those humane Truth's
    of life
    can never be negotiated,
    so let progression's moss
    cover
    and seasonal raindrops
    bombard:
    'Rocks wet and shining
    Unseen by those who won’t see
    Closed minds have no sight.')

      Disrespect? That's something you've never shown. I do love your response and (says I immodestly) I really love that line: Closed minds have no sight. Wish I could patent it rather than rely on copyright.

      As simple as it needs to be.

        Thanks PPD - I love what I call shorties - you can pack a punch without going round the houses.

        Great words ME. Brought to mind how wasted is all our poetry in a world where so few see the poetic.

        • Michael Edwards

          You/ve hit the nail on the head - or is head on the nail? It is frustrating to see so much good work which deserves to be widely seen and yet is hidden away in the corners of the internet. so many good writers here on MPS.

          Michael,

          ‘Closed minds have no sight.’
          So true…
          ‘closed minds’ will never see;
          but, of course, that is never you.☺️

          Love the painting.
          Thank you for sharing.

            Thanks Laura - Jeanne has meeting with her consultant on Monday so we are hoping to hear that her cancer has further shrunk and that she can have a holiday from the drugs - fingers crossed.
