Lost for words Neville. Yours is a precious statement of....(I may come back to that - in the meantime I bow to Teddy\'s contribution above_)

Oh there\'s the romantic side of Neville! I love this poem. I read it so fast I thought the title was \"Just a few of the things I don\'t like about you\" Ha! I was expecting a very different poem but pleasantly surprised!

Flashbacks can shock even after long passage of time - - insignificance can feel like sinking in water and no achievement award can alter the resultant years of coping with smallness - -- I know the feeling Nev. - a haunt of a write to read................x

Oh my Nev, when I was turning five I too had a drowning experience in the river that ran through my grandparent\'s property in my mum\'s hometown. After having been fished out, pumped of water and sufficiently revived I returned early next morning on the shallow end to conquer my fear, to get back on the proverbial saddle. Quite a resonant poem for myself. Thanks for sharing your poem and memory. It takes courage and mental fortitude to accomplish even that!

I do hope your R&R (if that \'s what it be - though I fear it may not..) is safe this time...!

A prey to some ultimately addictive substance, or mystic?
Never managed to obtain a toxicology report then, Neville?
So why not give the poor old bugger the benefit of the doubt?
A gem of an enigmatic write.

Met but never forgotten I guess is that unassuming small chap - -- within your memory his sun-blighted eyes no doubt take centre stage - - a portrait worthy of sharing which you penned so well dear friend.
