I like it. Very subtle but then what else do we expect?

Glad you like it Geoff, thanks for saying so. Wasn't sure but then am I ever?

I liked this Seashore- very well put. No arguments just weary and wary.

Thanks Pia, much appreciated.

Hi seashore,

I thought this was a very clever little poem.

Jenny.

Really appreciate that, Jenny - thanks.

A nice succinct piece, I like the first part more than the second, it seemed to encapsulate so much in so few words, but I enjoyed all of those very short verses.

a charming little poem, made me smile.... nice play with words and clever too!

This seems so simple but is actually very cleverly done, and I love those short little 2/3 line stanzas. Well done seashore. :-)

Hi FB - thanks for comment and for `getting it'. You're right, it was harder than it seems - the idea came quickly but first version didn't work so changed it from 1st person to 3rd person and then it kind of evolved.

Do hope you are better!

Thanks for the feedback Shoe - I appreciate everything you say.

Yutka - so glad it made you smile. Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks cherrypickers - a real boost!

Liked the word play on weary and wary. Nice one !

Thanks very much, hilary west. Appreciate the feedback!

"...pronunciations (and hearing aids)..."

When I read this part I was reminded of a couple down on the beach arguing in silence.
Both signing.
Fast flying fingers expressing their points of view.
I saw them later sharing icecream, issue resolved, time for bed, I think.

Hi there ScoZen - you've just written your own version methinks. Perhaps mine was your Inspiration Point!!

you've painted a stunning scene with the perfect amount of words, you're a very skilled poet.

That's a true compliment coming from you, maggy. Thank you so much for your feedback.

"more than what
he asked"

is this the crux of it? I thought it very clever. And getting in a joke too. Raindrop perfect

More thanks!
