Upon Learning to Fly
Doggerel Dave said:
Agreed, Neville: safety should not always be the preeminent criterion for a good life... risk to be managed.
Enjoyed the metaphor - and if I enjoyed it, then for me it wasn\'t too obscure....

Still smiling at your lateral views here on the meaning of free-flying. Life is adored when we get air-borne
with a lover methinks.....x

A Question of Waste
Bella Shepard said:
Dear friend you pose a question to which there should be a simple answer. We solve problems of technology everyday, have teams of experts and scientiests working to improve everything in our world, except the human condition. I question whether we have always been this way, or did we lose ourselves somewhere along the way. Thank you for these three lines of conscience and compassion, it is sorely missing in our world.

A Question of Waste
Mottakeenur Rehman said:
The use of the word \"waste\" in the title of the poem is significant, as it draws attention to the fact that the world produces more than enough food to feed every person, but much of it is lost or thrown away due to inefficiencies in the food production and distribution system. The poet implies that the problem is not so much the lack of resources but the failure to use them effectively

Yes - it\'s piling of butter mountains, etc. There\'s terrible waste around.
I admit Buddhists and some others may think about these things more than some Christians do, though some of them run Food Banks, Energy Banks, etc.

At first, I thought this would turn out to be an Enlightenment era painting of a woman by the sea, but no, it is your vision, your way of finding beauty in the simpler forms of life. Thank you for posting this and lifting my spirits, - Phil A.

Just a moment? No aftermath?
I have a moment like that - sans shore... sans sandals... sans shawl... sans - sorry It\'s private.
An enjoyable thought you provoked, Neville - worth the read.

Abandoned and derelict , old industrial buildings? Your cegonhas have, it seems a similar function to our \'bin chickens\' or ibis Down Under.
Should this old site be earmarked for conversion into another use, please ensure heavy hands don\'t give it the same treatment as Battersea Power Station......... please, Neville.
For me, a richly descriptive write.

Sometimes we remember things we wish we could forget and other times we forget things we wish we could remember. Perhaps, those forgotten moments are best left un-discovered.
Your poem leaves the reader guessing, which indicates that it has accomplished stirring their imagination. Without description of person, place, or thing each can build their own scenery. Quite intriguing. - Phil A.
