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!

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

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.

Taken From the Diary of a Contented Man
Accidental Poet said:

Well, if you did die here and today, you\'d be going out at the top of your game N. But I think we\'d all like you to stick around a while longer. 😜

Taken From the Diary of a Contented Man
Bella Shepard said:

Very wisely put my friend. Sometimes it seems that happiness creeps up on you, taps you on the shoulder and says \"This is real, embrace it\". So glad that you are in that good place and you\'ve shared this lovely thought.

Taken From the Diary of a Contented Man

A lovely read. - -- Truth is no fluke and contentment is shown to mean a lot in these diary lines ending with engaging humour - - wishing similar happiness to you and to your readers throughout the new year to come dear amigo...........x

Somewhere Else Maybe
Bella Shepard said:

I would say that the meaning of your poem seems obvious. However, the meaning of that meaning, which I\'m sure for you is particularly meaningful, is not as obvious and therefore less meaningful to me. That being said, it sounds a bit naughty and delicious.

Somewhere Else Maybe
Fay Slimm. said:

Somewhere in this read it occurred to me clearly - romantic and gently erotic - -- well maybe said I - viewed it again and thought just the same
Well mon ami call me norty but I can see your well penned gem of beguile only one way.

Another tale about me and KP. About 2 years married to her feels like 40 years of marriage to me! lol.

Love Letters
Bella Shepard said:

A candle burns bright, as does the memory of every word indelibly written on the heart. Such a love never dies when we keep it alive. You tell a sad tale with such tenderness and compassion, beautifully done my friend!

Love Letters
L. B. Mek said:

\'it had always been known for
and even beyond there and further
through the remnants
of now faded lace curtains ..\'
the yearning in this tender write, is so poignant Hyung
(most of us
lack the belief to pray
this days
so we hide our hope
and whisper our wishes
to our heart\'s
collectively
title these as our lullaby\'s of life
when right by our side
another is doing the same
shoulder to shoulder
yearning for help, or
waiting to help
yet questing life, deaf
to each other\'s
words..
and this
be the fate for the lucky few
who find another
rest of us
are serenaded by lonesome\'s
hollowness
and told to accept, our lowly
place in fate\'s priorities
a population of 8 billion
where heroes are the minority
and born, victims
by the second, aplenty)

Love Letters
Fay Slimm. said:

What a tenderly penned story your words conjour today of the sad wait for candles to light her man home and meanwhile reading love letters he perhaps wrote - - heart-warming indeed Nev, - - - - and so weird that we chose to post similar subjects again....................x

Amen!

Fear of Flying Solo
L. B. Mek said:

tough love
can only exist, if being formulated
within truly loving heart\'s
those brave enough, to let go
and hope their cherished ones
will return, when the time is right...
(simple does it best sometimes
no innuendo or abstract illusiveness
just words, depicting a truth
we all recognise, at a glance
executed with the practised skill
of a Poet, supreme!)

May all children born come into a wonderful world Neville and then be treated like the angels they are.

A beautiful prayer for the beauty of creating life. You have given profound reverence to this wonder of procreation, just as it should be. Excellent dear friend.
