Comments received on poems by Neville
At Least to the Moon and Back
Mottakeenur Rehman said:
The poem reminds us that love can transcend boundaries and limitations, much like the flight of birds in the vast sky. It speaks to the eternal nature of affection, emphasizing that it exists not only in the present but extends beyond our imagination.

Why must some poets be weird, e.g. on their profiles, and not normal like you and I? (Eh?!) lol.

Autumn is my favourite time of the year as Nature\'s artwork is so astounding during that time.

My further comments on the poem \"Unfortunately yours” by Neville
Change the title of the poem to “Previously yours…” or “I am now hers…”
About the flower again. On the point of withering away, it will say : “OK, at least use me on that funeral wreath.” But, it won’t be used at all… Even for placing on a grave we will look for fresh flowers…
Man has indeed a sorry fate. He has been programmed to perpetuate the species, but often only finds obstacles in his way. In some respects, even some other creatures have a better fate…

My comments on the poem \"Unfortunately yours” by Neville
It’s just nine lines, but it conveys a lot. We long for a happy ending, but don’t find it. It is indeed a crying shame. The futility of human pride : every step takes us closer to our grave, to decomposition, yet many mistakenly put pride first, instead of getting pragmatic.
We keep hoping for the best, we hope that tomorrow will be better. Hope keeps us going. But, time does not stand still. The flower will wither and disappear, its beauty and use being but transient. Its days have always been numbered.

The Simple Art of Wondering
MendedFences27 said:
Sometimes, science, medicine, psychology, philosophy, etc. take away from life\'s enjoyment by giving us the explanation for many of life\'s mysteries. For instance, we now know why the tides rise and lower, what the surface of the moon and Mars look like, and we predict the weather more reliably. These are all good things, but their old mysteries were far more entertaining.
Your poem paints the same picture, \"some things, are best left a mystery.\" I say, \"Amen!\" - Phil A.

from title, I was thinking a sociopolitical commentary poem
and then I was pleasantly surprised
to find a scene from a stage play
and then, after contemplation
realised your wordplay
and that this actually is
insightful, commentary
but, a deep - deep reading
of those core, root causes
showcasing
how invaded we feel, in our own beds..
a complex write, I can barely scratch
thank you! Hyung

On sea on land in the air. It’s like a continuum , a rainbow if not exactly a dream ( and it might be) is at least a stand in gif one type, or a metaphor for all types, or the grandest of all?, the ultimate promise of all we could ask and at it end we look to the realms where a more humble wish lives?
Anyway, I liked it. You are too cool and that is true very often. Dig!!! Miles Davis also gets that same review. Hallowed ground.

Oh, to climb to the mountaintop and find there is no way down. Stuck there forever.
Difficult to compare a woman to a mountain, but you have done it beautifully. Introduce a few clouds to add to her reticence and the picture clears. Hope you were able to climb off of this one. - Phil A.

Perhaps everyone has a facade that hides their true nature. It\'s only when a relationship becomes really comfortable that we find the good or the bad behind it. The question then is how to disentangle from the disagreeable. I think you captured it perfectly.

I found words in this that have a political connotation, here in the U.S. \"Woke, walls, snowflakes,\" and to a lesser degree, \"complaints and lawsuits.\" I think its stronger sense though is that of a final breakup between lovers. The two could be merged here, in the most skillful way. Duality is always a plus , poetically. At any rate a truly gritty poem, and most enjoyed by me. - Phil A.
