For a Child
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a quiet vow in this—grief turned into a promise to keep something alive beyond time.
It feels intimate and enduring, like love choosing memory as its final form.

What To Do When Molehills Become Mountains

Neville, this really hit me hard. There\'s a righteous fire running through this piece...a refusal to shrug at harm or pretend it will somehow sort itself out on its own. The conviction here is palpable. Wonderful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What To Do When Molehills Become Mountains
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a wry, almost fireside certainty in this—like someone trying to turn chaos into a moral everyone can carry home.
And what makes it land is that last turn… the recognition that even hard-won peace is never really final, just temporarily held in place by the next human storm.

Don\'t tell that to Donald Trump. Either way he take orange being the new black he won\'t like it. A good read my friend where one man\'s obstacle becomes another man\'s challenge then accomplishment turned to disbelief and nothing that can be believed in a world of fake, CGI, AI. Loved the write a fave good to see you back Neville

Beneath The Bruises
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a deep tenderness here—seeing her not as broken, but as something still quietly rising.
Feels like dignity holding the line… even when everything else has already given way.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, “something / is awakening but / as yet, it / just stirs so gentle / and quietly” is the passage that stayed with me most. That slow awakening of selfhood and dignity feels incredibly real here...fragile, but alive. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

such a vivid and true depiction of what happens at such sales - i can well understand why one would not like to be part of the vulture pack....

Nicely written. Your poem addresses themes of suffering, strength, identity, and the longing for love and connection. It reflects on the woman\'s experience of pain, resilience, and the desire to be cherished and recognized.

True and strong. Personhood manifests in many various ways. To recognise that and esteem accordingly is an excellent first step in every encounter with others. 🕊️🙏

So sensitive and real this poem touches the needs of an aging woman in a relationship that has worn too comfortable in its use and lost the shine of magic that is the dream of every young girl. So nicely done Neville a fave

A Few Notes on A Feeding Frenzy
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a sharp honesty in this—like watching the end of something familiar and realizing you don’t want to feed on what’s left of it.
And that walk away empty-handed says more about you than anything on those stripped shelves ever could.

Friendship said:
Nicely written, you had me thinking about this poem! Your poem explores the complexity of human emotions and relationships, particularly the tension between admiration and distance. It reflects the nuances of affection for someone perceived as both special and emotionally reserved.

Love this poem Neville life is based on approximations, educated guesses, hunches you may say. A basketball shot, a cricket swing of the bat, the stock market, a word in a poem, a ventured kiss and sometimes it is a while before we see the results. A wistful and wonderful write that takes a time to soak in. a fave my friend

A Few Notes on A Feeding Frenzy
Doggerel Dave said:
A piece of advice my dear old Dad left me which I was not forced to reject in the light of later experience, was: “A bargain is only a bargain if you really needed the purchase in the first place”.
I paid a very brief visit to a cheap n cheerful outlet for the lower end of the rag trade. While passing, I popped in out of curiosity. Among the frenzied throng I walked briefly on a thick carpet of clothing presumably selected and swiftly discarded. A five (maybe four) minute visit was quite enough.
You enabled me to relate that story, and it is a relief to spit it out, Neville.

A Few Notes on A Feeding Frenzy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, what a sharp and painfully observant poem this is. The retail liquidation becomes something much larger here...a portrait of appetite, decay, and the uneasy realization of how quickly sentiment gets consumed once scarcity enters the room. The vulture imagery is especially effective because the speaker recognizes themselves within it for a moment before rejecting it. That final image of leaving empty handed carries real moral and emotional weight. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A carcass in the field picked by vultures is not a very appetizing sight. Nicely written Neville it is sad to watch what was a noble beast fall prey to modern predators. Well written my friend
