Uhm, ok, thank you, Droogba.

 

So we have till so far ... Disappointments, large or small, belong to yesterday. Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low, through the streets in my kilt, I'll go 500 miles. Heart lost, I cried out across Caledonia, ...

 

That's a difficult one, Droogba.

But please. Continue.

 

 

Moi?

It's your turn!

Sorry, I'm slow on the uptake, I'm understanding more now.

Moi, to do the next line...

I always enjoyed this one from Ben Franklin:

 

Rash Mortals, e’er you take a Wife,

Contrive your Pile to last for Life:

On Sense and Worth your Passion found,

By Decency cemented round;

Let Prudence with Good-Nature strive

To keep Esteem and Love alive;

Then, come old Age when e’er it will,

Your Friendship shall continue still.

Let thy discontents be thy Secrets; if the world knows them, ’twill despise thee and increase them.

E’er you remark another’s Sin,

Bid your own Conscience look within.

Anger and Folly walk cheek by jole; Repentance treads on both their Heels.

 

(I have no idea what 'by jole' means)

 

(I have no idea what 'by jole' means)

 

 

It means "cheek by JOWL"

Disappointments, large or small,

belong to yesterday.

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low,

through the streets in my kilt,

I'll go 500 miles.

Heart lost,

I cried out across Caledonia, ...
 

"Oh where are the snows

​Of Yesteryear?"

Ah, that actually makes a lot of sense, thanks.

No problem, Droogba. This thread is not always easy for me either. Must think laterally.

 

(Off topic. Dear Moderator. I've some KDB news. Is a new topic allowed?)

 

 

 

So.

 

Thanks, Plokoon13!

Thanks, Moi!

 

Disappointments, large or small,

By jole.

 

"Oh, were are the snows

Of Yesteryear?"

These mist covered mountains, ...

KDB thread was ruined by gossip from those thinking they knew things first hand when they obviously didn't.

Disappointments, large or small,

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low,

"Oh, were are the snows

Of Yesteryear?"

These mist covered mountains,

Moving memories from peak to valley

 

Where time concertinas on me

Jumping constantly from then to now

 

 

Krc - you don't have to ask the Mods' permission to start a new thread - just DO it.

Nice, Moi! Nice!

 

 

Who tries?

Who"s next?

 

 

 

My God! Everton.

We eliminated Kiev in 2013.

 

But, we had a very good year. That's true.

Thank you, Droogba!

Mbh, Spudulike?

 

Kinkladze1871?

 

Chelsbear?

 

Bobbywoodhogan?

 

Womble?

 

 

 

A quick one before the eclipse.

 

 

Will I do?

Like airless birds' swirls

When moon and sun embrace the hanging sky

 

 

"Oh, were are the snows

Where time concertinas on me

Jumping constantly from then to now

Tell me ... why? Tell me ... why?

I'm sh*t at poems lol

I put this one in my wife's birthday card that I found online "I draw a circle, not a heart, around the one I love because a heart can break but a circle goes on forever."

That's a good one, Bobbywoodhogan.

We can use that.

 

Tell me ... why? Tell me ... why?

I draw a circle, not a heart, around the one I love

 

 

Come on, guys! I'll get my 30.000 views today. It's a special day.

You'll have to copy out the full poem, Krc, but following on from the circle..

 

Tell me ... why? Tell me ... why?

I draw a circle, not a heart, around the one I love

The circle will be

Forever unbroken

Though tangents

May impinge upon it

I know, you're a great fan, Moi.

And your feminine energy is exceptional.

But, one short sentence each time is enough, Moi.

 

Poetry is not easy for us, real men.

Give us some time! Please.

 

 

(Need still 24 members or visitors. I buy a Westvleteren for the 30.000!)

Real women don't do short sentences, Krc!  Get used to it!

 

Here it is in one sentence!

 

The circle will be forever unbroken, though tangents may impinge upon it

Edited March 20, 201511 yr by moi

As love is calculated on high, heathered hills

Whoe hoe!

 

30.000!

 

Who did it?

Who was it?

 

 

 

 

For you, Moi.

For a special day!
