Thanks, Sharon. I have written about a dozen "serious" poems (lots of silly ones.) I wanted to see if I could. I don't expect to become a poet, but I do love writing a variety of things. Which should be obvious after you have read my newsletter a while. 🤣 I enjoy trying new things. I would be bored to death writing only one topic or genre. 🤓
“Love is the Canvas” is such a beautiful and touching poem. It perfectly captures the journey of marriage. It might be one of my all-time favorites of yours (of the more serious variety).
Thanks, Justin. Every once in a while I write a serious poem. I am glad you enjoyed it. I think you get some perspective when you have been married for four decades. 😉
Okay. Love is the canvas officially made me cry. I hope you wrote that about your marriage. It certainly is a reflection of mine. My daughter is an artist and caligrapher. I would love for her to put this on canvas to hang in our house. May I have your permission to do that?
Haven't thought of string phones in a long long time 🤔 I wonder how many youngsters would have a clue about one, then again smart phones 🥸
Beautiful poem, those of us that have a marriage that lasts know the canvas well ❤️😍😍❤️
Will this chance be the break for both? Stay tuned for the next instalment 🤔.
Definitely an old person reference.
Indeed. My wife and I have 42 years in.
Stay tuned. Please!
Glad I waited til Tuesday to read TR&TR. One less day of suspense to see what happens with the bigwig producer!
I am mean like that. 🤣 I think the suspense is part of the fun.
Love is the Canvas We Painted On is my new favorite poem, Mark! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Aww. Thank you, Claire. I am never sure about posting "serious" things. But they usually do well. I am thrilled that you like it.
Brandon and Isaac continue on Monday? Oh goodie!
I didn't know you wrote poetry, Mark. Your sweet piece, Love is a Canvas, was perfect for a quiet rainy morning. Thank you.

Great stuff all around, Mark!

"Love Is The Canvas We Painted On" — Awwwwww! 🥲
"The Rapper And The Rancher" — Keep going!
Thanks Jack.
There are two more TR&TR parts coming.
I enjoyed this.Most of my friends are musicians, and many have moved to Nashville.
That poem... this line--"We painted life, images we would leave behind." It's an idea I believe: We CREATE our lives.
Nashville is where most musicians go now.
We can't control everything but we certain create a large portion of our lives.
Thanks!
You're the best! I will send you a pic if you'd like after she does her thing. I also wanted to put your name as the author on it if that is okay.
That would be great. I would love to see it. 😀

Thank you, Cyn. Yes, it is based on my marriage. I would be honored to have it displayed in your home. Thanks.
Oooh, I can’t wait to see where this goes!
Thanks, Kim. That's music to my ears. 🤓
