DOOR

Michael Edwards

 

 

DOOR 

 

Continuously

the door

squeaks and groans

as it slowly swings

relentlessly.

    WD40 is the answer. Good write.
    Love the painting.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks - I've always got some WD40 to hand - as useful as baby oil for cleaning our satin chrome cooker hood.

      Short but sweet. The best things comes in small packages. I often think there are lots of poems that would be improved by being culled slightly.
      This paints vivid image in just a few words. Well done.

    • willyweed

      a good squeak adds much charm,
      nice paint job too!

      • Michael Edwards

        You can't beat
        a good squeak
        so never whinge
        don't oil the hinge

        Great write. Love the painting

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks MICHAEL ~ Love the poem (style and subject) and the painting. Doors are always enigmatic and two sided ~ and always a great subject for an Odd Ode ~ Thanks BRIAN

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks Brian - is the poem a recognised form I wonder - 1 2 3 4 1

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            In French a poem which increases by one word ech line is called an ASCENDU ! The normal form is ASDENDU ~ DESCENDU which ascends and then descends ~ often using the same words in reverse ~ if centereds it un OEUF ! 1234321 etc ~ Someone wrote one recently ? They can be any length ~ OK BRIAN

              Thanks for the info - learning so much from your wisdom which I do appreciate. I enjoyed this one and may write one the other way round when I get the time and think of a suitable subject - ie 4321234

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                THANKS MICHAEL ~ That form is popular with Geometric Poets and is (For obvious reasons) known as the HOUR GLASS ! \"Of the making of styles of Poetry ~ there is no end ~ and much speculation is a weariness of the flesh ~ SOLOMON ! BRIAN

                I generally push
                Doors so hard
                I take them off
                Their hinges....
                Is the painting
                Venice ???
                Short but very sweet..

                • Michael Edwards

                  Yes Venice = must go back sometime - thanks for the comment.

                  • P.H.Rose

                    I loved it... Unfortunately
                    My other half wouldn't
                    Let me write while we
                    Were there...

                    • Michael Edwards

                      You and me both - I wanted to paint but had to rely on photos when I got back home.

                      • P.H.Rose

                        Ha ha...

                      • Christina8

                        Short but sweet poem. Absolutely love the painting!

                      • rrodriguez

                        Short, but substantive

                      • Michael Edwards

                        Thanks - I've left the door open so I can write another verse if the mood takes me.

                      • MendedFences27

                        Perfecto! I love the door image. I know not why. Perhaps an open door represents hope, or the future. Great piece of art, both. - Phil A.
