Thank you. And all the very best of luck to you too Neville.

But not one magpie on its own? \'One for sorrow, two for joy.....\'
Erm good wishes, maybe luck too, but I don\'t believe in it. lol.
You seen our black cat? Or the tabby one? We have two cats. Ahhh!
The black one said to me: \'Never mind if I cross your path or not for luck where\'s me grub?\' A talking cat now! lol

Wishing you well too )

And lovely poem . Magpies in twos are supposed to be a sign of good luck .. I’ve seen them in twos several times . Some people say seeing a black cat is bad luck but I’m not sure I believe that ..

\'look what you did
for the millionth time..
wrote down a few lines
and shared it, on-line
so now, you have me
going-off
surpassing my puny talents
limitations
making me dream
of that wannabe poet
I search for
with every coming, tide
of inspiration,
gifting me, a few more words
of scribbled, poesy\'s
presence, in my life..
thank you! Hyung
for reaffirming my status
as your loyal, Fan
what a corker of a write
dear Poet, supreme!\'
(wading
through our sea of despair
we realise
in that callous face of life\'s, strife
bravado
lacks meaningful spice
and so, all we\'re left with
is the veracity
of our yearning
and that despair
in our hopeless, reaching..
\'\'Lighthouse, shine
ever-bright
fend my journeys, path
to those arms of warmth
I dream of, between
every blink
and mourn for, in each
wishful, breath
of unrepented: surrender\'\')

Time to raise the sails and head for the open seas. Sometimes you\'re sailing along, but at other times you\'re wrecked by storms, reefs, or worse a dreaded iceberg. Eddies will send you spinning.
You are the boat and she is the river, metaphors for a relation(ship). Just keep her steady and find the open water. Thoroughly enjoyed by me. - Phil A

Well this clinker built old knacker exposing his keel to brazen sunlight would dread to find himself righted in a flood for fear of dried out shrinkage.

Looks like you\'re in a safe haven - stay out of the water.

Once they see the gold, that\'s it, you keel over. Wonder if women know the price of gold is going up.

Rocky Lagou said:

Wow, great job Neville! I love this metaphor. I feel this is about relationships that can be quite hectic like tumultuous waters until they become \"floods.\" But you do the right thing, walk away before it worsens. Marvelous!

Rocky Lagou said:

Every now and then, umm... maybe more of a habitual desire? Hehe, no but sometimes people can linger like perfumes, it\'s the human in us that makes us want. Hope you\'ll be satisfied!

Should I meet her? Is that me, viewing about 25 times of the 27 views (last time I looked), to see if I should meet her? lol.

This is wonderful! Your sense of longing can be felt miles away! I think we\'ve all had this experience...C

\'distance, makes the heart...\'
and then
a year after, getting together
\'we\'re breaking Olympic records
for packing bags...\'

sorry I tilted the angle to humour
just in one of those moods, my friend)

dusk arising said:

There are some things we miss in this life much much more than others. Like the sweetness of strawberries which you would never miss had not your tastebuds been excited so.

The one that got away - a sweet taste lingering in the buds which have known passion, love and the zest of fulfillment and crave, crave that taste.

Fay Slimm. said:

First love is always one we remember and your look-back dazzles with what you at that tender age noticed so clearly - skirt lengths and hair styles took precedence over lollies etc when Miss Lock was spotted by young romantics like you.... bless ya for not growing out of that sentimental phase mon ami ...............x

I had the most brutish BROTHERS, so no such frock, thus no such luck or Ms Lock.
Thoroughly enjoyed your post.
