For All Those Who Have Not Yet Known Hunger
Thomas W Case said:

Hey, my friend, this bites with honesty and hunger—raw edges and tender truth bleeding together. You’ve got that ache on the page that stays with a reader long after the last line.

I need time with this I think, Neville. Many echoes I recognize immediately, Others I feel I could relate to if or when…..
Faved in order to refer back if or when...

For All Those Who Have Not Yet Known Hunger
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Neville, this feels like a confession layered in metaphor. Hunger becomes more than appetite…it’s longing, ambition, ache. The way you circle from womb to wisdom to withheld bread builds something restless and deeply human. “and my solitary bid for true freedom ..” lands with quiet weight. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Well written, my friend; your words are profoundly strong to my heart.Your poem seeks to communicate the complexities of human desire, the feelings of dissatisfaction, and the struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in life. Through the exploration of hunger, the poet invites the reader to reflect on their own experiences of longing and existence.

Deeper meaning lies under the table. I too have been hungry to the point of gluttony only to have it ripped away by dark hands that nearly closed my nose to any aromas and my eyes to any appealing fare on the table. May your appetite increase my dear friend

And There’s The Rub
Friendship said:

Well written . Your poem explores themes of nostalgia, longing, and the passage of time. The speaker reflects on a past relationship, revealing a sense of fear and discomfort at the changes that have occurred, both in themselves and in the other person.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

That contrast between honey-colored hair and clover on one side, and cropped grey on the other, stays with me. Freedom versus containment told through bodies and time…simple and devastating. Love it, my friend. Hope all is well! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Thomas W Case said:

This one aches in a quiet, adult way—the kind that doesn’t raise its voice because it doesn’t need to. Tremendous work.

sorenbarrett said:

So good to hear from you again. Hope you are doing well. A good read about changes and opposites as well. Some opposites attract others seem to repel and in that there is the rub.

Welcome home, Neville... bringing an enigmatic relationship back with you. Need any advice re being rubbed up the wrong way - just ask...

I personally feel that man is dependent on time, and not vice versa, but the relationship definitely exists....

Atmosphere there in spades; the cooing is enough, without the added scenery. Best get off to Miami and beyond asap. Bon Voyage, Neville.

Amid The Echo of Doves
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Reading this feels like walking through memory rather than space. The warning not to linger carries care and sorrow together, and that combination feels deeply human. Well done, Neville!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Amid The Echo of Doves
sorenbarrett said:

Doves symbol of peace but I want to stay free of their droppings so I won\'t stand long underneath. Most interesting in that I have doves roost in the outer part of the rafters of my bedroom and occasionally one will come in through a hole and leave its memories behind. I hear them each morning as they awaken. A lovely poem Neville that gives one pause to think. Was it not Prince that released the song When Doves Cry? If you get close to Laguna Santa Catarina Brazil let me know I\'d meet you for a drink

Amid The Echo of Doves
Friendship said:

Have a great time in Miami, the poet invites the reader to listen to the echoes of the doves, suggesting a connection to the past, while simultaneously cautioning against lingering in a space filled with nostalgia. The subject matter revolves around the experience of hearing these echoes in old, abandoned buildings, reflecting on what they represent: memories, lost time, and the bittersweet nature of remembrance.

Even in the lowest of stations and the most difficult of situations love prevails. A lovely portrayal Neville painted with a master\'s touch

Man Down on Main Street
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Neville, this hit me hard. There’s tenderness and hunger pressed right up against despair here, and it never lets go. Love, survival, and collapse all breathing the same air. That ache lingers. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The breakfast scene and that final sidewalk land hard. There’s a lot of human ache packed in here.

Killing Time
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, I feel this tension between scarcity and meaning…the sense that what remains is shadowed, yet still bound up with presence. The idea that our being gives time its shape resonates deeply. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Well written, your poem portrays a sense of longing and the fleeting nature of love and connection amid the harsh realities of life. It reflects on the juxtaposition of mundane, everyday experiences with deeper emotional yearnings.

Happy New Year Neville! This poem reminds me that our perception is what gives the universe its narrative. Here’s to another well-lived year whatever may come our way🕊️🙏🏻
