Where Did The Cardamon Go
Cheeky Missy said:
A supposedly particular Swedish spice, cinnamon rolls are the better with that in their dough. Too much third shift and lack of sleep leave me unable to decipher what on earth cardamon had to do with the relationship? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

We live, we die. We love we hate. We have dreams, sometimes nightmares. Some say, that out there, is another place that we\'ll either love or hate. What you\'ve done is to sum it all up and paint it as a visitation or haunting. Loved it - Phil A.

Everyone I know/ever knew are disappearing with monotonous regularity. Soon I should depart too. No sympthy or futile reassurance please.

Oof, Neville...this feels haunted in the most human way. Not by ghosts exactly, but by everyone who still matters after they’re gone. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My high school English teacher warned me about such things. Here the issue is the mounting complexity of layered assumptions as phrase upon phrase adds to previous meaning. Further fogging the picture is the weaving of vagueness and specificity with metaphor, but what emerges from the fog is the sadness of a goodbye only mouthed. Very nicely done my friend it did knot my brain that I will now have to take a break to untangle.

Memory does seem sensory before it is an articulated awareness; often being rebuilt by surviving sensory cues and fragments.

A message well sent when spices are new their fragrance is savory and as they age it dampens. I can still smell the Cardamon at times but often leaves with the holidays. Good to hear from you again my friend.

You can definitely be the charmer when it suits your fancy. Gorgeous and rendered to effect in your fashion, oh! What a very lovely number indeed. Thank you for sharing, Sir.

Every-day mornings
are filled with repetition
until one cannot.
We have doves who nest beneath our deck and their cooing often woke us early in the morning. We\'re so used to it now it no longer wakes us. Our morning rituals follow the same pattern until we are both fully awake.
Your poem hit a nerve such that I thought you were writing about us. Your last line brings a real truth to the poem. We are grateful for every day we spend together on this Earth. needless to say I loved this poem. - Phil A.

That Couple next door: The Doves , maybe you should have a word with them. At it on a Sunday Morning.
I remember the Salvation army on Sunday Mornings way back. In your Street. Didn\'t need an Alarm clock then. A good Write.

I’m really glad you can find so much value in the five thirty start, Mine too, but I wish it could be eight thirty or nine. I define myself as a night owl and late riser. Now the up late remains, but also the five thirty wakefulness has reached a state of permanency, become fixed and….. All this has nothing to do with your situation, Neville – Your enjoyment clearly evident here.
