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

  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.

    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.
  
  Laura🌻

    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.
