Just a Few Significant Ponderings
MendedFences27 said:
Well, if one thinks they are never wrong, and also fails to enjoy life, they just need to be left to their own misery.
This view of one personality raises many questions: How did they get this way? Why do they not savor any part of life? Do they know what they are missing? etc.
This was a great look at a very dark personality. - Phil A.

A Very Sudden Realisation
Bella Shepard said:
I\'m late to the poem, but love it. The hero survives, the coward feels no remorse. I Can\'t possibly imagine what you experienced, but I do know it takes a true hero to see pain, suffering and injustice and acts because he knows it\'s the right thing to do. Hero\'s don\'t have to sit and ponder, they go and do what is needed because that\'s who they are. Thank you for being who you are.

You had me from the beginning nodding my head in agreement with the sad description of those who lack any kind of self awareness. But that zinger at the end is priceless, and dare I say so very well deserved. Well done!

Inviting an honest self-assessment has never been writ better amigo -- we all neglect to savour the moment more often and need a kick up the pants to start understanding what we might be missing - - indeed a sound piece of advice ........................x

Be nice to think I had an effect on someone which lasted beyond my existence
Your piece will require a pretty tall marble column, but would be, for you, worthwhile, Neville.

This is just beautiful my dear friend. Such tender words that touch the soul. I like to think that all of your wonderful words, absorbed by the collective consciousness of this community, live on for all time.

Sometimes even giving your all ain\'t enough for some. It is a sad thought when we die we\'re all just photos in an album to be brought out now and again. Mind you, when we\'re in the clouds, so are our photos these days.

Leaving brave footprints to make way for the new is perhaps dangerous as future is ever an unknown adventure. Slow and sure and keeping a watch on how hard to press seems the best way. - - an engaging read on which to ponder mon ami...........x

When the Shit First Hit the Fan
L. B. Mek said:
indeed, dear Poet
in those days
we all stepped on a little shit
and had the awareness
to smell it, on us..
where as now:
(we brush it all, \'under the carpet\'
till walking, becomes
aquaplaning..
still, we look for more room
to hide our shit
whenever, we mess up
\'denials and distractions
at all cost, Please;\'
you, rule
just give us enough room
to refute our realities
this
be that true, evolutionary state
of our weak willed
regressive, modernity...!)

Ohh, a mystery of life - why is it that s**t hits the fan, and not, say, I dunno, feathers or grass or something random. Best to be facing the opposite direction to the fan then! Oops!
I can see deeper meaning though in this.

Agreed Nev. Even in my (in this instance relatively short) lifetime the decline has been blindingly obvious.
And I don\'t think this is just the perception of an old \'un......

Scenes of war on the nightly news cannot even come close to the reality experienced first hand. Home again, breakfast; tea, toast, marmalade, juxtaposing normal with untold horrors witnessed. this poem is so wonderfully written from the heart and soul. A great write my friend!

Can’t imagine the horror and sadness, the toughest thing I had to face so I thought was that a Coyote had eaten one of my cats that ran out of the house. I heard scratching at my gate, and pounded on my window. A Coyote emerged from it then left as the flood lights turned on. When the morning daylight came, I thought I was going to wake up to a bloody mess, but there wasn’t any. An hour later I saw my cat and got him in. He slept a whole day, poor thing, and my heartache vanished.
Thanks again for your humanitarian efforts. Bless you

This poetry was a mystery
From yearnings
To love
To thrill
To further emotions
Was it the confidence of the lady
Or the virtue of patience
When broken hearts could move with time
Truly lost in words dear Neville…
