Banished
Accidental Poet said:

When my ex-wife and I separated and eventually divorced, I was left with a feeling of wasted time. I felt like divorce was the toilet of life. But I feel I\'ve recovered well. Great write N. ; )

Banished
Fay Slimm. said:

Sad but true Nev. Breaking up is indeed now an art. and methinks when banished it must feel like being invisible. Sighs and more after this read ..............x

Banished
Doggerel Dave said:

Well so long as the banishment was sincere, Neville.
You can feel the delicacy and care enveloping you in your abandonment, can’t you?

Accidental Poet said:

Someone put them there for some reason. The suspense of not knowing why is reason enough for interest. Wonderful write N. ; )

When erected they were very alive and majestic, and now even time has laid them down - shattered and battered

Very enjoyable post

Sharp observation. If you don\'t want to be shattered, better to be awake.

A thoughtful three liner Nev. which makes us ask why standing stones have not long since been shifted for housing developers to make new history - - your sens. are fast becoming small gems.........x

those stepped - over, pillar\'s
of all, that we hope to be
allowing us to build, steadily
all, that we strive to achieve..
a great shorty, my friend
(if a write
makes us think, twice
its doing alright!)

Yeh - that\'s proof Stonehenge has been around too long, hasn\'t it, old chap?? All that real estate - look what you could do with it - Mansions, tower blocks a teeny bit of grass, a couple of swings and slide in one corner...the possibilities are endless...
Great word play, Neville.

Beautiful write, Neville.
Loved walking through the laundry on the line a wonderful smell. Haven\'t thought of it in years,
till now. Thanks

Doggerel Dave said:

\' just waiting on winter\' - nothing more?
What did you get up to in the meantime?
Image clear in my mind - evokes memories of my own (refuse to disclose); what more can I ask of a short sketch such as yours, Neville?

L. B. Mek said:

and so, once more - I find myself, swaying
with that gentle breeze of your poetic genius
subtle, my gifted friend
as ever - ever, so subtle: your nudge
that has us swimming in memories
even our shadow stains, pointedly - chose to forget...
yes I too have, a few names dear Poet
and they too, will have theirs I\'m sure
the true magic in your words, is when we realise
the likeliness, that even in name only
miles and lifetime\'s - apart
there\'s a chance: we\'re all, thinking alike...
(such a Brilliant Gem, of a subtly nuanced Poem!)

Way Too Late
L. B. Mek said:

\'refused listen to reason and then, to common sense
but later came to realise\'
\'Way Too Late\'..
(why do I feel like, we should have been studying this
as a conceptualised introduction
to our fallible selves, since kindergarten
then maybe, we could have avoided
most - of our brutal: life lessons...?)
there\'s an aspect of grounded wisdom
that makes all your unassumingly - profound
philosophical concepts
appear so accessible and measured;
these three stages, you\'ve worded so relatable
are so universal, and can be applied
to almost every person on earth, and yet
you\'ve just subtly inserted them in the poem
in such an understated manner,
what a gift you choose to share, so generously
dear poet, thank you!

At the end of it all, I’m left wondering, why? Thank you for clarifying in such a poetic stance

Way Too Late
Trenz Pruca said:

Insightful poem. Like Dusk Arising I had an unplanned goodbye when my dear friend also fell off a cliff. That was the first image that came to mind when I read your poem.

Hardball write, Neville.
Denial creates head-on collisions in slow motion.

Her trust then shattered and with eyes wide open her cannons I guess were raised and ready to plan her reaction........ powerful stuff Nev.......x

How did you get away with it Neville? \'Bit dangerous, your confession now.... or do you have a statute of limitations in the UK?
