ANOTHER COUPLET COLLECTION

ANOTHER COUPLET COLLECTION

 

When taste and quality coincide

the inner man is satisfied.

 

Beauty lies where it's assigned:

within the eyes, within the mind.

 

A clenched fist thrust from threatening sleeve

can give but never can receive.

 

Political correctness dictates to all

the only view admissible.

    I do like the first one Michael.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - Mine is No4 - I just get so frustrated with those who (even though they may be right in my opinion) are so self-righteous and up themselves and intolerant of others.

    • FredPeyer

      Agree with no.1, well said!
      No.2, yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
      No.3, so true, but sometimes it is the only way.
      No.4, and is this view correct?

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks Fred - as for No4 I'm afraid it's the aggressiveness of some members of the PC brigade in pursuing their cause that can cause as many problems as the issue itself.

        Fine writes Michael.

        Falling star!

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks MICHAEL ~ I like them all ! No. 3 best very apt for today's international "diplomacy" ! You can only "give & take" with an open palm ~ a clenched fist is always aggressive it can conceal a weapon (or a bribe) and always packs a PUNCH. Having been brought up in LIVERPOOL I have both given & received "bare knuckle" but I much prefer the "velvet glove" ! Thanks for scaring BRIAN Please don't forget my "Monthly Fusion !" B. I like the Ariel Photography ~ The Bermuda Triangle is very clear !

        Love them all

      • Louis Gibbs

        All four are beauties, Michael! Well thought out.

        I liked them all. Political correctness has too big a choke hold on us all.
