New Wine From Old Vines
Fay Slimm. said:

An intoxicating read and no doubt that if old vines can grow new shoots young love will flourish again. I am taken with every line of your chosen metaphor mon ami. First class writing,.

Such a beautiful way to say love never grows old. That fine, mellow wine warms and intoxicates in the very best way. Thank you for this lovely image!

Amelie
Fay Slimm. said:

Courage shines from Amelie\'s sweet smile and wishes for her healthy recovery wing straight from here to this brave little lady as I read of her recent surgery. These worthy causes are high on my list too dear Nev - am on the way to purchase another of those titles and will be telling all of my friends too. Bless you and the rest of the kin-folk as you wait in hopeful trust that Amelie\'s treatment in Germany will aid her return to her family soon fully restored and happily smiling once more .........x

Amelie
Bella Shepard said:

Such a beautiful poem for such a beautiful little girl. That such a cruel disease should strike anyone is heart breaking, but to touch a child doubly so. I admire your commitment to these causes and all that you do for them. I\'ve ordered \"Turquoise & Other Shades of Blue\" and can\'t wait to read it. God bless you and sweet little Amelie, wishing her all the best.

A poignant write Neville.
Meanwhile in my ridiculously less comparable way to this - a publisher and I fell out about \'alway\'. They said, erm, dunno about that. Reckon it should be \'always\'. Don\'t these people know what \'poetic\' means? Doh!

The Most Perfect Love
Fay Slimm. said:

The perfection of loving relationships so expertly here captured brings me near tears - - a sigh of a read for the first day of new year - -thanks most dearly for sharing these lines Nev.

When We Were Hot
Bella Shepard said:

\"Hot and furnace bright\", what could be more wonderful. To have such memories kept within the mind and heart, is to have a place where one does not grow old, and love is forever young. Beautiful my dear friend.

The hotness takes on a variant characteristic at other life stages. But those ones in the memory bank they are the golden recollections.

What Wasted Words They Proved Themselves to Be

I often wonder what happened to the words I did not use Neville.

Ah those were the days mon ami eh ? - - - nothing like love to keep winter at bay and you pen the heat of it to sheer perfection.

What a Bloody Waste
Bella Shepard said:

The tragic irony of this poem, is that it highlights the absurdity of life. Here is a prime example, well written dear friend.

What Wasted Words They Proved Themselves to Be
Fay Slimm. said:

Your verse says it plainly to scribes who steal words or lines. Words when written have a life of their own and if authentic will attract most readers - applause for your last lines especially Nev - poets who plagiarise certainly do not deserve disciples............x

What Wasted Words They Proved Themselves to Be
orchidee said:

To incur wrath of poets, go plagiarising.... A guy even had the nerve to post his own pic alongside a poem he nicked!
Poets responses were generally on the lines of: \'You (*&^^$£@!^%$\'}[&\'
Don\'t translate that, says Fido!

Goldfinch60 said:

Such a sad tale Neville, has the lady been troubled after this?

What a Bloody Waste
Fay Slimm. said:

Ah - what a shocking and tragic account of growing numbers who attempt the same end and so often today bring it off - -except for those who live to tell their tale eh ? - -- I am left sighing deeply at your final lines Nev.

From the Cradle to a Grave
Fay Slimm. said:

Quite understandable questions Nev. when life offers so little time to so many -- - waiting with hope at heart seems the best way too an enjoyable experience of cradle to grave - - methinks...........x

So What Does Your Father Do
Fay Slimm. said:

My father was a radio boffin who owned a few shops but we never saw much of him - - my Mum worked with deciphering numbers and shone in her field of (pre-computer) Comptometer programming- - -never saw much of her either so brother and I were Grandma reared - -- - oooh hope I haven\'t gone way off your question - -- memories come flooding at this time of year ................x.
