yeah, well
that\'s a better person than me;
sorry to be so predictable
but have to admit, unashamedly - so
that Kimono\'s
do it for me, too...

\"It\'s only a small one\" she said \"pop it in here and keep it warm\". His hands had stopped shaking.

Spring-filled imagery to sigh for in this little gem - I love the cherry-tree personification with blossom certainly more off than on..... great read Nev.

Just saw big Mary passing by, not wearing much. The sooner we get back to winter, the better.

Wonderful respectful words Neville, I have met many who were in ww2 but few of them tell of what they did. I had an uncle who was a Japanese POW and he never said anything about it but I could always see the horror in his eyes.

Another relatively long one – thanks Nev.
For me the real message here is the contrast between Bill as “Bent down the middle, all shit, snot and piddle ..” and the reminder of a detailed complex life nearly everyone leads one way or another, with our own private battles, mostly ‘unheralded or unsung’.

Meanwhile - you know Bill Stickers, or his mate Bill Posters? Why they always prosecuting them? What they done? An old joke, probably centuries old! lol.

This is a wonderful tribute, N! As you said \"Lay him down gently\" I got shivers down my spine. Military funerals are so hard to attend, for me at least. The last being of my grandpa and they play \'taps\' here and that always gets me. Anyway, you did one hell of a job on this!

Poemed to perfection this caring tribute to a friend with a chest full of medals and ribbons earned by his efforts to stay over the top again and again - - certainly not just any old fella and we as readers will remember Bill Stamp along with this mention of his valued example of what peace and love of justice means. A fine and very moving write Nev,..............x

\'All bent down the middle ..
Nor was he just skin and bone
He once was a
father, a brother, a lover and
somebodies son ..
Moreover, on more than just
one odd occasion
he went over and over and
over the top ..\'
Dusk\'s comment, spoke to me
\'Are we the last generation to respect our elders?\'
not while Supreme Poet\'s like you, Hyung
share such emotive poems
invoking that respect and gratitude
we should never forget
for those who stood up and championed Peace
by bloodying their fingers and minds
and scarring their lives...

Are we the last generation to respect our elders? All the adults around me as a child had war stories they could tell but rarely did. I never found out what my dad actually did In WW2 other than to know he was an RN lieutenant and had the scars to prove he\'d seen action. He just wouldn\'t talk about it other than a few sights he had witnessed.
A couple of years ago i was sat in a sainsbury cafe when I was introduced to an old boy at the next table. He was a VC and had been on the beaches at D day. I found myself full of respect for the man and regarded him much as i would if he were royalty.
I imagine the future generations in wartorn Ukraine will be respectful of their elders.
Well Bill Stamp is certainly deserving of your very fine piece today. Bent and smelly but that\'s just the shell which contains the spirit of the man. ... Respect.
A really moving write Neville.

Very emotive write
Giving to words to patriotism in heart
That is the flag that shall rise
When a soldier wears love for her nation
Each drip of blood shall flow for her nation
For that the flag to furl
Furl with freedom in the air
Sincere words dipped with patriotism
Good one dear Neville

Russia was coming good and they loved the west after perestoika but putin has reversed all that with deciet, lies and brute force. Now the lies are used to reinforce his evil intent in Ukraine and more. I live in hope that he will be stopped from within... he must live in fear of that.

Like the rest of Europe, we\'re still buy gas from Putin, and probably will afterwards. Sanctions aren\'t working against Putin, cos he\'s loaded, so it\'s now left to the inner lobby to bump him off.

\'Yes, that my love, was when you tasted of lychees,
of cotton and cardamom seeds ..
Indeed it was there and then, I breathed deeply, the air
you exhaled ..
And I later grew strong on the sound and the taste
of a woman much loved ..
And I swear to this day that woman was you ..
And while we are at it
do you mind very much if I ask whether you recall
the day when
I painted the walls of our little room both magnolia
and lavender blue ..
When the air all around us was still, but yet filled
with electric\'
