No Looking Back Again
Distant View said:

\"Don\'t look back!\" they tell us, yet we always do! How can we not? Bitter-sweet memories still have their pull on our hearts and minds! A poignant poem, with universal appeal, I believe, Neville! Beautifully expressed!

No Looking Back Again
Nicholas Browning said:

It\'s almost like a sinful succulence, isn\'t it? Memory. For its sake men die every day. It\'s cruel, so very sweet, sour, and always ready to grab you by the neck. I wonder which one this is for the Author. A splendid read, Sir Neville. Thank you for the kick in the head. (A jumpstart really)

The pathos of losing what way back was hoped for of \"old here and theres\" comes over so touchingkly in these lines of memory dear friend.
A read to remember so tucked into my favourites...........x

Good writing Neville ))

I especially like these lines

‘far away

eyes of hers, like flashing

blue lights’




mysteriously lingering

like some

tasteful, eternal eclipse ..

Fish Supper

Teach a man to fish and he’ll have FISH SUPPER. No better title, but even more so, no better poem to hook one’s worm on.

There is nothing quite like the taste of freshly caught fish. I used to go fishing and one day a friend and I went out in his boat and we were four miles out to sea from Folkstone and we caught thirteen cod that day, our street had a magnificent meal that evening.

Now that you taught me how, I think I\'ll go fishing. This poem was as colorful and descriptive as any I\'ve read recently. I swear I felt the sea breeze and smelt the salt air. The tale itself drove me to the final line, in which I found another suggestion for a title, \"Hunger No More.\" Loved this one. - Phil A.

This is great! That transition from \"no responsibility,\" to learning how to deal with the world. Amazing. I\'d say I like \"Teach A Man To Fish\" better because it encapsulates the overall message of the poem, but it\'s truly up to you. Great nonetheless!

Excellent! I myself fish a lot and my favorite is lake perch, not that ocean perch......I don\'t like fish made with a \"fishy\" flavor. people don\'t usually know what I mean when I say that......great write!!

\'Then fix a point lad, tween

And when
she returns, place your
hook-bait,
your trace and lead sinker
tightly, but ever so
lightly\'..
How about: \'Teaching\'s of a Fish Supper\'
my cherished Poet supreme!!!
lol
between dear fay\'s Whale portrayal
and your poetic Fishing escapades..
I think I\'m all maritime
in me thoughts for dinner
today
\'Fish n Chips\', it is then!
(thanks, that\'s one choice made for the day
just the other thousand to get through...
lol)

Let\'s not get angry at the mirror and crack it \"well and truly,\" just turn out the light.
A nice little \"reflection\" on the mystery of mirrors. - Phil A.

These days I just have to look at a mirror and it starts to crack up. Great meaning in those lines.

If the mirror don\'t crack, will it be seven years good luck? I must know these things, even though I don\'t believe in \'luck\'. It\'s \'sad\' of me, I know. lol.

Mirrors are truly attractive to poets world-over - you aptly show on reflection that cracks distort every look-back - I must say when mine do that I chuck em away........x

Good fun words Neville.

I read an article once where a guy said that he was so please to be in around in the six months where mini-skirts had come into fashion in the 1960s but stockings had not been replaces by tights. LOL

MendedFences27 said:

Careful! You may start a fashion trend. If life serves you lemons... make lemonade. Coping with the downside of life is what I extracted from this humorous poem.
Inform me - What the hell is a doxy?
Still caring about the opinion of \"those that give a damn,\" she would \"make a perfect matching pair..\" Still resilient no matter the circumstance. Definitely \"worth her salt.\" Most interesting view on life, and in so few words. - Phil A.
