THREE ONE-LINERS
Black nights reigned as street lights flickered.
As an espaliered tree was she, yet never trained nor pruned.
He mastered the spirit till the spirit mastered him.

such economy of speech, I'm jealous.
Thanks Will - I've just looked at your postings and I am equally jealous of your style of writing - look forward to more.
Michael, I just love these on-liners of yours! Can't make up my mind which one I like the most, so all three thumbs up!
Gee thanks Fred - love writing them - they usually just pop into my head and try to get them down before they are forgotten,
Fine writes and pic Michael. What's that? You wish me songs were all one-liners, cos you know I sing them all?! Meoowwowoooo, that's me! lol.
Cos I know they're soon finished LoL Cheers Orchi
Somewhat unlike me - I'll keep folk singing for ages. I'll write even longer hymn-poems! Oh yes, I'll say 20 words when 5 will do, even 30 where 5 will do. I'll go on and on.... Oh do shut up now Orchi! heehee.
Powerful and intricate these one-liners Michael - -- the final one did it for me. Great combo with the mysterious artwork too.
Thanks Fay - could be whisky 🙂 🙂
Thanks Michael for another uplifting Poem 'n Pic for a sunny Sunday morning ! Brown & Blue are a powerful combination and evoke the newly harvested fields of East Anglia ~ as seen from the Train ~ so beloved of John B ! You have exact shades of rich brown loam and the tracery of the unsown fields criss~crossed by combine & plough ! My favourite Poem is number 2 and I have encountered many such ladies in the past 17 years ! However I am grateful the ANGELA is more well groomed and elegant ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
Ah a tree of fruitfulness - thanks Brian.
The disturbing print feels like my insides in sensory overload ... scrambled. Love the three one-liners, and you expanded my vocabulary with "espaliered". Good post, Michael!
Feeling a bit espaliered myself at the moment - just got back from a Nepalese buffet and feeling a bit crapulent - plus too much wine. Thanks Louis.
Love your one liners and its a great combo with your print. Very nice!!
So pleased you like them - I've got a few more tucked away so will publish them in the next few days,
This is a sneaky trick..... publishing three masterpieces in one hit!
Keep it up, love it!
Yup I'm a bit of a sneak - pleased you liked them and will do my best to keep it up.
short but brilliant.
Ta muchly m&m
