Same could be said about these exchanges of poetry. But perhaps they would have to be read aloud as the eyesight is gradually but surely fading as well.

\"Disjointed fragments\" and \"mistaken\" identity, a split personality and an unrecognizable one. A dilemma to ponder, if only for enlightenment, and not the pleasure of the words. I\'ve been thinking on this. - Phil A.

That Last Time Look
Rocky Lagou said:


This is so amazinggggg!!
Neville you have versified the \"last look\" so aptly.
Be it from a lover, a family member.
It reminded me of my late mother,
and the times she\'d glance at me from her hospital bed.
Or the times when she felt better, and gave me her signature mommy stare.
Thank you for this Neville.
Those times definitely have the power to \"bear [their] name\" forever in our memories.

That Last Time Look
MendedFences27 said:

I\'ve been told that, to a sailor\'s wife, every encounter is a last encounter. She sailed away on the bow of his boat and left you standing on the shore. That look of longing encourages a sense of unfulfillment.
What a concise and exact depiction of parting ways. Thoroughly enjoyed it. - Phil A

Ah -is it a boat or a woman I wonder -- the sadness of love\'s final adieu intrigues yet again mon ami. This glimpse of endings only your pen can poem so very enthrallingly...........x

That Last Time Look
Doggerel Dave said:

The distance, the the resultant emptiness (will it ever be filled again?)
Not particularly worried if I got this wrong, Nev. I found plenty to cogitate over.

We are so enraptured by the part we are, that the whole completely alludes us. But that aside, your words are composition for meditation

Bella Shepard said:

The zen of life meets the enigma of existence in two 3 line stanzas. Short and sweet, and has my head reeling. Things that confound me a lot more these days, you have very simply put into words. Extraordinary write dear Nev!

Just Another Zen Thing
L. B. Mek said:

thew words, express
why, at times
during a meditative state
we feel like, we\'re being pulled apart
torn both that sincerity in our now
and that all-consuming chaos
awaiting, a blink or two away
this is why the yin and yang, states
remain constant
never one or the other in sole authority
like regret and hope, co-existing
in one momentous yet insiginficant
moment...
(another subtle gem, dear Poet
imagery smacks us in the face
but its brevity is so hidden
ever-so subtly
most will read, fish their Cod\'s of poetic delight
never realising, those more rewarding eels and vendace, depths
that await, those who linger
over these seawater words
and contemplate...)

Song for Gene Malloy
L. B. Mek said:

this is inked, testament
to why only those truly invested
should ever pen, tributes
simply mesmeric in flow
melodious, in poetic eloquence
a great read!
thank you, Hyung

Orchi conducted a preemptive strike and pinched my corny one liner, Nev...so...
Superficial as my knowledge of Zen is (very), I cannot help but feel those Zen Masters might find a fresh....
And the last three lines - I marvel sometimes at the way ordinary words attached to one another confirm that indeed \'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts\'.

Doggerel Dave said:

Dear Sir, (I do this all the time to big companies and Govt depts - are you either?)
I am unhappy with the quality of your product. I feel more instruction should be provided.
What was a futile search of both Google and Utube yielded no relevant results for Gene Malloy….and so on…
Regards,

I can remember many years ago when I was sitting in my local when one of my friends came in with a conger that he had caught.

I looked at the dictionary and came back disappointed, but then DA!, saw your notes - well thank you sir.

The amazing feat of accomplishment has its own reward, as your words in taking us there

Fay Slimm. said:

Thanks for a new word and its meaning - - I like the sound gladding makes and am sure it would be fun just as your look back moon ago at you and more boys \"poking around at eel-pits\" - - will look soon at some video vintage practice of gladding - - and agreed as your last lines admit to need of self-caught eel-fish as food even in these days of easy bought meal-time abundance. A stunning piece of prose Nev.

devoid of your author\'s notes, these lines
transported me to that milieu you worded so vividly immersive:
\'Those grey remnants of waves
that repeatedly
spit and do laugh and do lap
at our feet
while we all squat like twats,\'
a poetic dreamscape in a read
