A Few More Things Remembered
Garth Rakumakoe said:

Your words have always had a life of their own, and their own personality, Neville. You speak not just through, but with your pieces as well. A beautiful work of art this is, like those rare flowers that just never lose their charm, sir. A definite favorite of mine.

A Few More Things Remembered
Fay Slimm. said:

Your usage of word is simply stunning in this romantic memory of the way things were. - -- I love the final thought - that \"if love had a smell,
it would smell of my lady\" - -- -- such an appealing read Nev........................

50i\'s did it for me, Nev - although never found any lady to attach embroidered flower patches to \'em... quite conceivably this could be seen in my circumstances as a positive.... where I worked...

Amazing words Neville, in this day and age it is happening more and more.
I have experienced close people trying to commit suicide but they spoke to me and all became better.

Too much Nev. Not sure why. I pride myself in an awareness of the realities of people\'s lives, yet i find this disturbing....

Not Just Any Old Day at the Office
Fay Slimm. said:

Nothing but experience could pen words that strike home so vividly this stark picture of very sudden and unexpected tragedy - -- a heart-wrenching read Nev. - -

That Point Where We Each Begin
Fay Slimm. said:

Strange that time when two never know where the \"me\" ends and the\"you\" begins - -- you scribe it briliantly in this piece of perception my dear friend and tis a fave with me for sure..............x

What Didn’t We Find in the Attic
SureshG said:

Thank God, or else the sirens will go off and the hand cuffs will shine with a lot of explaining to follow and if not well recalled could lead to undesired ride.
Just imagine all the history hidden in those objects that jar the sleeping memory glands, often leading to a smile, just as your words have done today.

What Didn’t We Find in the Attic
Doggerel Dave said:

Not there (the bodies) \'cos there\'s no room for \'em... LOL. Selective flashes of recognition throughout, Neville - lead off to all manner of memories.
Thanks for that.

What Didn’t We Find in the Attic
Fay Slimm. said:

What fun to find even half of these long-ago things in an attic - - your fertile mind thought up some almost forgotten mementos which I could relate to - - - re. those cigarette cards and always- kept milk teeth - - a really unique subject and a fab. read mon ami................x

Excuse Me I Love You She Said

Yep, reckon I\'ll meet her, but not get on the wrong side of her! lol.

Excuse Me I Love You She Said
Doggerel Dave said:

Can I drag that last stanza completely out of context and make it mine, Nev?

Excuse Me I Love You She Said
arqios said:

Fairer and gentler but equally able and capable. A little respect and prudence goes a long long way! At least the signal was there and the disclaimer. What more is needed to arrive at a suitable consensus?

Excuse Me I Love You She Said
MendedFences27 said:

Look out mate, if provocation puts you in \"dangerous\" territory. Could be a rocky road ahead.
\"Excuse me, I love you,\" had me thinking this was to a whimsical love poem, but that thought ended with her declaration of self-reliance. - Phil A.

Excuse Me I Love You She Said
Bella Shepard said:

She sounds a woman of good sense, as well as beguiling. Best to lay the ground works up front, no surprises? But then a surprise here and there lends a little spice. So playfully and temptingly written my friend!

Excuse Me I Love You She Said
Fay Slimm. said:

What an alluring title mon ami - -- the lady was playing wisely with issues of future behaviour. and gentle or dangerous she knew the ropes before love moved in. Some readers will relate to these words - including me if I might say...........x

Wonderful emotive words Neville.

With Nothing More to Lose
MendedFences27 said:

To begin it reads like a love poem with all the trappings: \"rainbows,\" \"waterfalls,\" \"stained glass,\" \"handkerchief,\" and her \"eyes.\' Then, it shifts to the tragedy that it becomes. Having read it several times one discovers that it is in fact a Love poem.
Well done, it drew me in and held me spellbound until the end. - Phil A.

The way you have used the imagery of color to bring this piece to life is extraordinary. Bittersweet, heartbreakingly beautiful. A true fav!

Beautiful imagery! I felt that.

With Nothing More to Lose
Fay Slimm. said:

A linguistic picture of heart-touching moments when tears tell more than one piece of a story through your expertise with the pen. Unmatched your ways with words my dear friend.
