Well shiver me timbers me hearty - no question about what she served without any argument - - like your verse that petit waitress deserves a gurt \"merci \" for stripping to tease then to please ..........x

Monogrammed, laundered and ironed to perfection (No innuendo intended). Symmetrical perfection, Nev.

It is poignant in its own way, Neville, and as usual its emotion is quite well carved out. You have a brilliant pen and mind sir.

First Nev, I have to state that I like the piece but am unable to put my rational spin on it. Further, I see some connection to the poem immediately preceding.......

So emotional and so poignant
The words brought tears
And so many memories lingered beside
To those whom I lost
I wonder whether they are happy where they are
I wonder if they are watching me
Such a mourning
I remember my grand parents
With whom most of my childhood memories are embed in my mind
I am pretty sure they are watching me
Well penned dear Neville
The poetry felt so personal to me
Thank you for sharing

How at times you say so much about a theme or subject without saying much is something I admire in your writing style Neville. You do minimalism so well and and so revealingly. This is another such piece. It\'s a rare quality, and a form of craft to marvel at. Thank you for gracing us yet again.

Beautifully told, of emotions contortions as we endure trying times in \'togetherness\'.

\'I just
could not find the right words
to place

inside
this mourning song
for safe keeping,\'..
(how acutely, you portray
that need, to feel
like our Time spent
at another\'s side, won\'t
be considered, so miniscule
and steeped in irrelevance, in seconds
after, that abrupt goodbye
of our raked-raw, worded emotions..)
subtly poignant, a heart wrenching depiction
of the person in the relationship
who, lingers
in the embers of the ruins, long abandoned...
simply beautiful, dear masterful Poet
love the unassuming flow and accessible wording
one of your very Best!
\'in my humble opinion\'

A haunt of a mourning song this - it
reminds me that \"Parting is such sweet sorrow \" when hearts want to linger on........ tender as ever mon ami are these lines of gentle appeal.......x

love your accessible wording
and blunt - poetic transparency, dear Poet
\'sadly, I have experienced your words
from both sides, of the blame assigning bridge;
where, we choose to label - quickly
so-as to bottle
and limit
the debris, from what
we once deemed, indestructible
that need to assert, blame
to - A, side...
while in reality
the gradients, in our relationship\'s - demise
was as equal, as the attraction
we both gave-in, too
knowing
beyond those aesthetic, tethers
we really
had little foundation, to build-on
in the first place...!\'

Always aware of the unspoken words I begin to wonder whether the non speaker has the intelligence to realise what they are not saying. Is it willful, are they stupid or am I a pawn in an awful game.

Thanks Nev for a lesson all should see and cogitate upon:
\'Love\' a term used with free abandon by many who don\'t know it\'s meaning.
Have i just just mounted an old hobby horse of mine....again...?

Love may or may not be reciprocated
That’s why they say love is selfless
So true dear poet
Initially I felt love is like a rumour turning around with no truth in it
Then I felt love is simply selfless

Being loved the best is an aim of so many who need constant assurance of value etc - but to be taken for granted can sting the most........ some deep thoughts in this read today Nev. - - hope I have done its message justice in this short review.....................x

The praying mantis lover. Apparently their kind are the most irresistible. The drawing flame, whose heat burns the most.

Only if sooner we could realise before being badly hurt inside
Alas love is unpredictable and blind

I must say you bring her out in all her grandeur. I see her clearly. An adorned work of art sir. Thank you once more good sir.

\"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald\" by Gordon Lightfoot comes to my mind N. And just as worthy a tribute here of your own, a fine work of prose. 👍
