Bella Shepard said:

What is it in the human soul that will not allow us to succumb in the direst of situations. Is it faith, fervor, strength, a firm belief in what is truly right and wrong? You pay homage to all that binds us together dear poet in that wonderful last line.

Too easy indeed my friend to not only imagine but strive to seek further aid for these innocent victims of battling politics - -- a needed reminder indeed.............x

Fay Slimm. said:

A stanza of maybe confession of blame before naming those broken promises mirrored in a fading relationship - - yes familiar complaints arise in this impressive verse Nev. - - - I give a wry smile at the last question asking when a seven year prophesy of resultant bad luck is going to end. Another smooth taste of your innate talent with word-usage here my clever friend............x

lol
I do hate it when a burger is served all lopsided and bent out of shape...
as in our meaning, being mistaken
for the lacking obvious
it takes all sorts really, how dare they assume
we cared enough to rhyme for a reason
sometimes, we do it because it feels good
and that\'s a heavenly excuse!
you\'ll now i\'m right, by you inability
to prove me wrong
the end.
lol
(you\'ve earned half your sainthood by putting up with me nonsense
so I\'m claiming credit
aside my gratitude, dear friend)

When Size is Not Everything
Bella Shepard said:

Size here is definitely proportional to content, and content here is quite explosive. Ooooh!

Did he by any chance teach geometry? Under paid, and under appreciated, I can see why he may sell his soul for a cheeseburger, I think.

Meaningful though this this three-liner be Nev. I must confess Mr. P. with his hard times leaves my clueless mind speechless - -- must be too many ice cubes in my lunch-time rum - or summat......x hic x

....Or a solution .... maybe...perhaps...
With absolute certainty I\'d say that sometimes it\'s just too bloody hard, Nev.

I cannot distinguish if this is an angry or lighthearted poem and I honestly prefer it that way. Good work Neville.

Shows to go just how unwithit I am - thought the Prof G would blow something or go into meltdown if i presented \'mindgasm\' for clarification..... but I ain\'t no psychiatrist...🙂

Tiny is often likeable and gigantic can be mind-blowing but climaxing with your inventive \"mindgasms\" made me smile. - -- Such an orgasmic ending methinks to that beguiling title mon ami................x

When Size is Not Everything
L. B. Mek said:

(yeah...
like when a misplaced, well positioned
word
is enough to wreck a honeymoon\'s fairy-tale
and curate a lifetime of nightmares...!)
I fear nothing
like the mind of a human..
not for its insidious potency
but for its capacity of haphazard ignorance
detonating, emotional weapons of mass
depression
indifferently, clumsily
then hands on lips, shrieking:
\'\'an oopsy daisy i never meant to, really...\'\'
(Brilliant!
dear Poet supreme
Brilliant!)

What an Appetite for Attention She Had
L. B. Mek said:

to be a shadow
within
a relationship
is a curse
I wouldn\'t wish upon my worst...
but wise Poet
those perpetuated
societal mechanism\'s that cultivate
such personas, truly amaze me
like how
as a child, everyone gravitates
for the cute kid
pinches cheeks, worshiping those gifted
smiling gurgles
and that kid grows-up thinking
this is reality, for everyone
forever and ever, daily
then comes the drop-off
now that child is left to swim alone
compensate for that missing attention
and here comes adulthoods trappings
and now hollywood is the mecca
for the good looking
with fck\'d up childhoods...
(still
the shattered hearts they leave in their wake
is neither forgivable or comprehensible;
my survival\'s avoidance trick
after burning me fingers on aesthetics
is to seek empathy in the eyes
of the one i dare
to entrust with my fragile heart
above intellect or anything else...)
sorry for ranting again, a great write dear Poet
so relatable
