Olivetti Moments
arqios said:
Had the privilege of using the Olivetti twice, once on a heavy monster of a machine and the other on a portable lightweight typewriter - both in AZERTY! I lugged one around on a boat and a hut and an island for several years. Hopping poetry while hopping islands.

What can I say that others have not already said, but still, memory lanes are forever etched on our minds, which are brought back to visions when invoked by picturesque venues and romanticized by such poetic words.

As I read, I\'m drawn into this story. With all of the rich imagery I can see you sitting there, feel the emotion, it is that tangible. There is something wonderfully Hemingwayesque in those last lines. A truly remarkable write dear friend, and so bittersweet.

Loving the way your lines took this reader to where time must stand still and old customs still matter - - and also where romance once blossomed and then left a memory - - I can just see you peering at a face half remembered dear Nev - -- so good to see you and your alluring work back again..........x

Wow what a scene: fish nets, stockings, fisher-folk and sardines. Must\'ve been momentarily bewildering.

You are back, Nev! That’s a relief! Thought you might have succumbed to long covid or summat.
Instead you were off to exotic places….. Never been there, but the richness of your lines took me; your last three lines……… there I have been, so thanks…maybe! 🙂

Awe dearest, I find writing helps my memory! Congrats on 800 poems posted! The light will always shine in your soul, forgetfulness is part of aging. Don\'t let the fog stop you from doing the things you love. WiFi is beautiful, but it can be a pain. Enjoy the real world .. Hugs

I read and these words came to me
(Inevitability, as both curse and mercy
ending\'s, as opportunity
to reclaim a little dignity
mindset\'s, pathing our curated fates
old as a positive, to those gleaned wisdom nuggets
we envisage our finite lives and smile
inking our fears free and hiking to our serenity \'hot spot\'s\' of Nature
to download, that legacy bequeathed
by all who came, before
and upload, a few droplets of ourselves
for future generations to find escape within)
thank you! dear Poet
stay safe, cherished friend

Goldie and I are millions of years old. Are you too?!
Well done to get to 800! We both plough on past our 800, churning out summat every day hopefully, even if \'having prepared one earlier\' as they say - Blue Peter, in days of Shep, one of Fido\'s relatives. lol.

Hope this respite gives you the peace and space to rejuvenate, and come back reinvigorated and strong. The words have never failed you, that is evident in this poem. Your light shines brightly every time I read your verse, and I am truly grateful for your friendship.

Looks can be deceptive, as you so aptly put. And yet the element of danger or risk can be enticing. Beware the allure of the Laccaria Amethystina, for it/she cannot help what it is. A wonderfully sensual write my dear Neville!

Brilliant!
how I envy your poetry\'s subtle touch, Hyung
voicing everyday life\'s \'relationship ikiness\'
in three lines
while I can barely scratch surfaces
after hundreds of poems..
thank you! for inspiring me, yet again
(\'amethyst deceiver\'
and the deception?
a scenic wordles promise, that love will continue to mushroom
and grow in each other\'s hearts,
and for some, it will
so i guess not a false promise
but for us
all that was left was the purple stain
on that chest pocket
of once untainted shirt\'s and shawl\'s
no finger pointing or loud voices
just that overindulgent assumption
all is ok
because smiles are on display
only
that purple poison, has set-in
and all we can do
is ink it in poetry lines, release it
to wash our hopes clean
awaiting another chance
where lasting trees can be planted
instead, in those
delicate pulsing gardens
where love dwells
and then our promises, can be rooted
to much more resilient, serendipity\'s..)

When I was a child March winds brought kite season, and the sky was full of them. I rarely see one these days, mores the pity. But I can enjoy the primroses, so all is not lost. So nice that we may all share these lovely, simple joys. Thank you dear friend.
