A WEE-WEE BIT OF NONSENSE

As I passed water in the mornings dawn,

the last three little drops made sound,

three notes they made, a tune, a melody

that caught my ear and carried on a song.

What moments catch attention,

in our everyday routine, what sounds,

so tiny, yet as silence so surrounds us

we hear their call, their poetry, ditties

unaware that they now entertain, the brain.

Sweet simple things can make a poem, screed,

or fill a need for inspiration,

none so easy to obtain as that which happens, so mundane,

and yet it is the theme I choose for this, what bliss!

The drips from trees after rain are more poetic, now!

But maybe their melodies are not the notes that woods,

they conjure up, the atmosphere superior, mossed,

where sitting on the loo is merely dross, banal, anal !

Our perception does not judge the place,

nor choose to understand, it comes

and forms a meaning of itself,

so let the little things of life express themselves, yes?

So, so funny coming from you Ann...`super-duper`. It reminds me of a song I was singing to my self once when I was sitting on the toilet constipated. I can't remember the song, but as soon as I do I'll let you know. I think it was a Sandy Shaw song from the 1960's...or Tom Jones!!! Rosina xena465

Coming from me! I'm no Lady!!!

Ann of Norway Nor a 'mother' superior, nor what you might think I am!!! I am after all living with a DANE and that gives one licence to all!!!! "Mad Dane's and Englishmen go out in the midday sun" Noel Coward slightly distorted!! Mad dogs, but then there are those great Danes!!! And Englishmen are well aren't they? Och eye! Glad you had fun with these little drips! Ann with love to you, have been busy will tell you elsewhere!

When one is keen of hearing, as presumably composers are,

Ann of Norway When one is keen of hearing, as presumably composers are, we hear the tinniest of sounds from birds from insects, from the squeaks of industry, from all sorts of things, and these compose odes in our minds which can turn into great operas of sound, its all a case of being aware in this world and so much treasure is revealed to one that to get a writers block from the lack of ideas is totally impossible, there is SO much out there waiting like ripened fruit to be picked and imbibed isn't there. Well not these three !!!!!!!!! That's why something so simple as three drops listened too intensely gave me three different tones and set my mind in its loved musical musings and so produced this poem directly afterwards!!!!! Although it is about and not of the music it produced! Love to you dear Jayne, may you hear music in your mind today, music of your favourite kind and dream away all thoughts other than those of happiness. Ann.XX

Mercy buckets of whe-eels!

Ann of Norway The rare visit of a Snake, makes my day, and here she knew you'd be entertained a wee wee bit! Wouldn't do in your profession though! Although all those cooks keep on saying-in England- put in a little bit of this and a little bit of that and they would only have to twist the words slightly and say a wee bit of this and that!!! Now wouldn't they? What words do you use most I wonder when describing your cooking, we all use them don't we !! ha ha, oiu oiu!! Bien sur!! Love Ann.
