Needed a new fridge if you were generating that amount of heat alongside. Enough tucker in good nick there for breakfast?
(A rich moment with all the trimmings, Neville 👍)

Neville, that detail of rakia and apricots stayed with me. The way taste becomes part of the memory gives the whole scene a warmth that feels very real. It’s a small moment, yet it carries a whole story within it. Nicely written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nostalgic it is the taste of a memory that is sweeter than any dream, it is under the rust of time that gold shines in contrast. A most lovely write Neville and a fave

Neville, many words have been expended over time here and elsewhere in attempts to differentiate between animals and humans. There you have the essence...
(Not yer average bird of prey, BTW, when I looked.)

Neville, the image of the sun bittern poised with wings spread for the kill really stands out. It captures that eerie balance between calm and violence in nature. Everything feels suspended in that moment of patience…right up to “a double / time killing spree day ..” Strong imagery here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written. The poem delves into the natural world, focusing on the sunbittern’s poised stillness as it prepares to hunt. It reflects on the predatory instinct both in animals and humans, suggesting a commentary on the nature of waiting, observation, and the act of killing, whether it be literal or metaphorical.

Dark shadows lay in this write. It is ominous and foreboding. Is it personal or sociopolitical reflecting the time of day we are in. I shudder. Nicely written my friend

Bleak, reverent, and honest—your lines carry the weight of memory and sacrifice.
You make the sky and the fallen speak, gritty and unforgettable.

There are indeed Neville a philosopher\'s poem this is. We will never know the outcome of all the ifs the roads never taken. So short but so satisfying. Nicely done my friend I feel that the philosophical has its place in poetry alongside the emotional and so a fave

She burned the corners of every room she touched, fierce and uncontained—then Time showed up, careless and cruel.
What remains is the echo of her light, bruised but impossible to forget.

Wonderful words Neville, it reminded me of my wife who could light up a room with her smile, at her funeral many said that her smile was what they would always remember about her.

Neville, this hit me hard…there’s something devastating about beauty meeting inevitability like this. It begins luminous and ends so quietly bruised. That final image of withering lingers in a way that feels painfully human. “she then bruised and eventually just withered away ..” stays with me, mate! Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beautifully written, Neville. Your poem revolves around a woman whose beauty and charm have a profound impact on her surroundings. However, despite this beauty, the poem highlights the fragility of life and how time can diminish even the most vibrant presence.

The ending analogy Neville is amazing. Like windfallen fruit to wither away from a kiss too long and hard is well pictured in my mind. I think I may have been there at some time. Oh but to pluck that fruit in its ripeness and with cair not to bruise taste its sweetness. It make my mouth water. A lovely write and for that last stanza a fave indeed
