Ah, the bitter sting of memories, dark moods and regrets. Thanks dusk, atmospheric and brooding with the added tension and drama of the unspoken. Great one.

Ooooo, ending with goosebumps!
Magnificence flow and definitely felt a gentle wisdom of why we let it all out!

A gentle reminder that limbs can bud best when mature - colours of love indeed my friend and so expertly presented.

a delightfully atmospheric example of classic prose ... a tale told terribly well and leaving the reader both wanting more but also strangely satisfied ...

a beautifully crafted dedication DA .. this could easily have been written both to and for my favourite oak tree in autumn or spring .. a noble specimen indeed and with a spiritual if not sacred presence ...

O the irony or what ever! The rain is coming down, I so hope it stops her crying and let me get a few more hours in!
If not then like a soldier I\'ll start with the water to do last nights washing up lol

Had to read this over again before I could not find words to describe the sorrow that lingers around every line -
- -- a heart-wrenching helping of known preciousness so mournfully missed - - - and so beautifully expressed my friend.

L. B. Mek said:

emotive writing, I like your use of everyday metaphors, it grounds the realness and expands the scope of relatability in your write, at least for me
great read, especially that first stanza: gripping

Such a wonderful piece of poetry here, dusk. Sounds like hard times. You expressed yourself really well. Nice to see you after such a long time!

Neville said:


Wish I could have caught these splendid words, this perfectly timed poem on the day itself ... I can not imagine why I was otherwise distracted .. but just felt the need to add my two penn\'orth here and acknowledge your apt and emotionally charged post my friend ...

You are always able to spin such tales in your poetry. It\'s almost a cinematic experience. It was real for you and you\'ve brought it to life for us. Great work.

Hard times back in those days for you d a, I am glad that you found the way out and are living quite happily in your
green wellie in Gloucester, I am not far away in Evesham living in my overgrown red flowerpot by the river.
Seriously though I have been very fortunate in my life and have never been anywhere near to being on the streets, I do try and help those who are.

Never quite hit the streets, although I came very very close (next step up?).
I think I know enough to experience every line which you colour in so well. An exhausting way to spend a day....weeks..months.

I know the slab square well (although that name is new to me) having worked in Queens Drive for several years. Haven\'t been back for ages except to the theatre - enjoyed the read.

please, so much
L. B. Mek said:

a great read, is there such a thing as tasteful eroticism or did you just create a new genre all by yourself
