A FEW COUPLETS (2)
It is safe to flirt with frivolity
It is dangerous when frivolity flirts with you.
The road ahead travels forward to the future
The road behind travels backward to the past.
He dug his nails into the dough.
He always cooks from scratch.
They never sang nor spoke nor met
yet in a dream she cradled him.
The hour came when all fulfilled
his anger waned without design.

Great write. What else is there to say? Simple and short and very, very expressive
Thanks so much Its
fine writes and pic there M. The pic looks like a house next door to a friend. Moved now, as house was too expensive!
It was one of those quick paintings which often turn out the best.
That final line of the last couplet is truly inspired Michael - love the strength in the watercolour too.
Thanks Fay
They are all really good, do like the one about cooking the best.
Can't beat a smile can you!
Thanks MICHAEL ~ congrats on Pole Position ~ Love the Georgian Villa ~ many still standing in Liverpool. Doublets are magic need any poem ever be longer ! No. 3 get my rosette today "Best in Show !" Please check my TRIPLETS ! Yours BRIAN.
I'm up so early and usually waiting to post - yes No3 made me smile when I wrote it and still makes me smile when I read it.
Good write. I would be very wary of cooks who do not cut their nails though.
Yes although that does that apply to women too?
"They never sang nor spoke nor met yet in a dream she cradled him". Something about this one touches me at a hidden level ... my favorite by far.
Thanks so much Louis - nice that different people chose different ones.
Great write
