Tiny Blue Moments
Thomas W Case said:
Superb work, my friend. There’s a soft, sun-bleached nostalgia running through this—Crete as a thin place where time feels almost borrowable, like you could pocket it and carry it home.
But it tips into something more intense at the end, where longing becomes physical and a bit consuming, like memory trying to turn itself into possession.

Irony
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a quiet confidence in this—almost a gentle rebellion.
It suggests truth isn’t something reserved for the grand or sacred, but something that can arrive small, simple, and immediate—if you’re open enough to notice it.

Ambivalent attitude towards orange - wristwatch as protest against or signal that I don\'t own a mobile....syringe head... but for the rest, especially a certain head of state (and what a state)....neva mind, I\'ll get my shit together eventually, which is more than my expectation for the rest of the world....
Good to see you take it on, Neville.

In The Shadow of Fast Clocks
Thomas W Case said:
This has a quiet, reflective weight to it—like someone sitting with time itself and realizing it doesn’t behave the way we expect it to.
The image shifts (clock, bloom, milk, veins) give it a lived-in, bodily philosophy—time not as idea, but as something that changes the texture of everything it touches.
And the ending lands gently but honestly: not resolution, but admission. That unfinished page feels exactly right for what you’re saying.

Neville, what a wonderful piece. This one made me smile...and then it made me nod. There comes a point when all those things we once chuckled about suddenly start making perfect sense. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Last Laugh
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a quiet sting to this—the kind that sneaks up on you the same way time does.
You start with a smirk at others, and end with the echo of that same smirk coming back around for you.
That closing turn is the knife: not cruel, just inevitable.
Life doesn’t mock us loudly—it just waits its turn, then chuckles under its breath.

Parallax is one of those words that ring my bell. And at the moment, using it for viewing another\'s field from a certain angle makes it look greener and such. 🙏🕊️

Neville good to hear from you this poem strikes a nerve in this aging body where such lines can easily be identified with and aches grow more numerous and frequent and yes I do hear people from time to time over my shoulder laughing to themselves and I wonder. Well written my friend

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.

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Friendship said:
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.
