A COLLECTION OF COUPLETS (2)

 

 

The lashing rain played harmony

with the tunes of the gusting wind.

 

 

With thoughts of convenient construction

she condoned his lamentable wrongs.

 

 

They walked in the valley of streams

and they slept in the valley of dreams

 

The gathering tears from heavens eyes

reflect the grey of winter skies

 

No varnish in his spoken word

he never sugars pills.

    There are some deep thoughts there Michael, especially number 2.

    Great artwork, I could look at that one for a very long time.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - deep yes - especially in the streams 🙂

      Fine writes Michael. They walking in the valley of streams now? They were on that narrow way. Oh that was the other day. Cos I recalled I would swoon if they fell by the wayside!

      • Michael Edwards

        They didn't stay there for long Orchi, they got wet feet.

        Coulets? Bit of French there?!

        Lovely image of a valley of streams and dreams Michael....... and the second stanza catches so much - don't we all do that sometimes!

        • Michael Edwards

          I guess we do - it's called love. Thanks Lorna

            Michael,
            An awesome painting
            accompanied by a fine
            set of couplets!
            I find the last one very
            interesting and intriguing!

            ~Laura~

              He sounds a bit of a sour puss doesn't he. Thanks Laura

                Super couplets spilling their truths and what an exciting picture to illustrate them - - - love this posting to bits dear Michael.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Bless you Fay - that's real praise indeed.

                • Christina8

                  These are some great couplets, Michael! And I adore the abstract. Love how the colors pop!

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Thanks Christina - I do love couplets - in fact all short works so long as they have a bit of punch or intrigue.
