It\'s amazing how you use words to draw picture.... again and again.

The truth doesn\'t need many words, how comfortably can decay us quicker. At least we smell nice.
Nicely done mate

A fine write, Neville. I can relate. Can I add a full head of hair to my wish list please? :-) Nicely done. Cheers.

I used to lift Weights when younger.
Never forget the Sweat, Strain, Aches, Pulled Muscles. But eventually got them out the Box.
Good Write.

I think many of us would like to be a few pounds lighter as we reflect on the passing of time and the wear and tear we suffer with every day living. But hey if you are wearing oud, that is unmistakeable and is quite intoxicating. The fragrance drew me in. Hope all is improving in your world Neville. Have a great Wednesday.

yes, some things are unforgettable - store them deep in the recesses of your memory and take out and relive them whenever you need some lifting up of the spirits

\'Tell ya what - I\'ll supply the bandages, and if you could send over that almost finished bottle of oud by express post for me to sniff, I\'ll do the best I can.....

Well aren\'t you a riot! Lemme see, with thy bandages on thou shalt look like the mummy from Dracula or the like, or correct me. I\'ll just hafta watch one of my all time favorite flicks The Wedding Date and imagine you\'re my beloved Dermot Mulroney, how\'s that? Excellently rendered with a tasteful smidgen of imagery, is that? and a tantalizing poignancy. Charming. Thank you for sharing.

Neville, this is raw and striking…brief but full of longing, memory, and vulnerability. Powerful in its sparseness. A wonderful write! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

We all want to turn the clock back. A fun read my friend gives me nostalgia

Again, you with a brush- another picture emerges. In beauty, perhaps with touch of nostalgia. Beautiful work 👏

Dearest Neville, reading this felt like being handed keepsakes...smells, textures, fragments of gold. You remind us that memory is in the details we usually pass by. So very true and a fave from me. Loved this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I thought the answer was always 42, as I read somewhere? Maybe the answer is 204? lol.

I kept on going back to \"the smells,
textures and taste
of already
cold ash, from well
spent fires\". Reading the poem was something like watching a painter casually making marks on tbe canvas..but in no time something emerges, quite unexpected perhaps, which makes one gasp.

Tis, forsooth. Yet what half causes me to tremble is that my post for today, planned too long ago, yet has echoes here quite baldly. There\'s gold, fool\'s gold, and what is so far beyond gold that there\'s no comparison [see Proverbs 8 for starters] and how deliciously you\'ve woven the deceit in these seemingly innocuous lines, the allusion and reality winking at who may see. La dee! Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. I love, love, love it! Thank you for sharing.

Well said, Neville. I have so many of those. Sparks, I call them. Founders of many verses.

Simple small natural treasures often overlooked and so well imaged in poets ink. I couldn\'t agree more my friend so many little things that may not be that little at all overlooked and forgotten. This poem a reminder that remembering little good things is what brings pleasure and meaning to life.

Porlock
Cheeky Missy said:

Charming, very charming indeed. While rendered casually with a sense of simplicity as pure as the allusion to cotton, yet how inextricably you\'ve managed to lend a deeper notion somehow. Very lovely with excellent imagery and a peaceful poignancy haunting. Thank you very much for sharing.

arqios said:

I like the salt‑soft nostalgia in Porlock, like a postcard you can smell and hear. The images roll in as gently as the tide, of boats hauled over green hills, fields that taste of brine, and oyster shells clinking in invisible baskets. That quiet moment where “no sound” reigns except the larks and bees feels like the pause between breaths, when the whole world leans in to listen. And then the sails appear, cotton‑worn and weather‑beaten, catching either blessing or burden from the wind; as if Porlock itself lives in that delicate balance between calm and the next shift in weather.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Neville, this paints peace…the boats, the fields, the quiet broken only by larks and bees. It’s a scene I could stand in. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Neville not to the name you name but to another I have been there. A beautiful portrayal of images that put my feet back in that sand and felt that wind against my cheek crossing those fields and hearing only the lark. Very nice my friend a fave

A locale evidently frequented by arguably the most noted of the romantic poets...so that\'s how Kubla Kahn got foreshortened.... I learn something new every day, but it takes a local to put me on the right track.

Abattoir Gulls
Cheeky Missy said:

I remain baffled. Since the gulls specified remain like fixtures, permanently affixed, I\'m left with the ridiculous image of a baby\'s crib with an odd mobile. As that sounds inconceivable, I\'m guessing it\'s a grand metaphor? Either way, beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A Taste of Nothing
Cheeky Missy said:

Alright, you\'ve got me. The conclusion should have enlightened me, but I remain baffled. I mean, I\'m free to read to my heart\'s content, and do, leaving comments where I like, whence the ending leaves me confused. But no matter. I dearly love how deliciously you\'ve rendered this pretty number with such imagery as gives its poignancy a leg to stand on, Napoleon couldn\'t have looked better. Thank you for sharing.

Can\'t agree more. But having said that, the question still lingers- would it have? Loved it!

Remarking on A Flight of Fancy
Cheeky Missy said:

Deja vu haunts both the title of this familiar pretty number and its meat, yet a casual search left me empty-handed. Guess it all depends on the dearth or lack thereof since certain indulgences seem to never lose their flavor until superseded. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you again for sharing.
