Comments received on poems by Neville



From a Safe Distance Only
Fay Slimm. said:

Your poet\'s mind has versed the almost unattainable with this invitation to listen to silence as it resonates. Hurting yes but a reminder of love subtly calling again from the past. A gem again Nev.

En Route From A to B

A fine write Neville.
The time for the wicked\'s judgement will come - as in my recent poem.
If it was not so serious - meanwhile - me trip to the Co-op and back is bad enough. Doh! Why am I complaining, when there\'s this that happened?

That route from A to B was an absolute nightmare for those who travelled it and lost their live in doing so.
Even today it is said that no birds sing at Belsen.

En Route From A to B
Doggerel Dave said:

Forced to abandon this topic for a long time. Immediately after the war, it was informational overload - because not only British prisoner of war escape stories, which I read avidly and enjoyed (to the victor goes the spoils – and the propaganda) but accounts and news reels (covering the opening of the camps) were in abundance also. Nightmares as a kid.

Latterly, not so long ago, a fortnight spent in Berlin for the art galleries and modern architecture forced me to do the rounds covering this once more. And once more wished I had not.

In this context, I have to tell you Nev your writing is too good and bought this up too vividly for me.

Not a criticism – others may need to wake up.

A necessary write, Neville.
My mind still has a hard time getting around the scale of it all.
Your poem helps.

En Route From A to B
Fay Slimm. said:

Every line in your exposure of such evil makes that route from A. to B etched indelibly on hearts and minds of all generations - - may that four day hellish journey never ever be relegated to history. A read to remember with bowed heads Nev.

En Route From A to B
Laura🌻 said:

Neville,

The unspeakable atrocities committed against the helpless who never desired such a trip from A to B. Unfortunately,
‘almost a million innocents passed en-route from A to B’.

I became aware of these despicable facts when I read “The Diary of Anne Frank”.

Neville – that’s quite freaky... no, not freaky..disorienting – drew me in and then spat me out again. Painter..lover/model…perfect open wound…model gone, painting only left to gaze upon..
Wot’ll you give me? I’ll settle for 5 out of 10….

A fine write Neville.
Could be about me and KP, but I ain\'t done much gazing on her. She\'s 95% botox by now anyway! She will melt in the heat, be all of a heap, like an old sack. No change there then though. lol.

The riddle being one of the oldest genres of literature (poetry?), gratitude for continuing the spirit of that tradition.
