On Being But a Poet

A poet the most sensitive being, noticing even minute details….a tale or two from his recount never leaves the heart….maybe he isn’t a king with green but a king with words
Well penned dear Neville

As suitable a place as any methinks Nev. for a dreamer to rest covered with stony reminders on a windy hill maybe that he wrote out his own heart in those re-told tale-tellings - -- a simply smart poet would not want to lay any other way. - -- though I am curious now for his name................x

Whether it be us poets or the men who could plough the straightest furrow, we all shall pass. Our individual prowess shall be lost to the world, save for any tangible relic, and we shall be superceeded just as we took on roles once praised by our forebears....
...... and what then is left to say but \"that\'s life\"

A word, a punctuation, a rephrase, can change a meaning, make a difference. It\'s great.

Certainly a variant Nev. - -- even within the title an important rephrasing - -- a life lived sadly shows tragic mind-sets and I guess that three lines would cover it\'s negative life-style - - - the read raises pity for those in such mental states - - - an interesting difference in postings mon ami ..................x

Ithought I\'dseen it before but quickly realised its syllables this time around.
Lines can be long or short.

Two hundred and fifty thousand lines of grief, and probably some of them died under the pretence of covid just to get them on their way. Here\'s to the next one with the fancy name.

The Taking of Innocence
spilleronsheet said:
The closing of eyes won’t die the sad and anguish truth the society hides
A heinous crime like this boils the inner core
The respect and dignity stripes without caring about another soul
Well placed are those lines
Though tragic and pointing to inhumanity of mankind
Wish people could respect others choice
Even satan can’t define the evil those mind store
Felt sad while reading this
And yes the word anger can’t be hidden
The news lace with such incidents
Don’t know where the full stops lie
Wish the heinous devils could stop making such crimes

A Life Sadly Lived
spilleronsheet said:
Sad and tragic
Maybe it was the story of someone who lived short
But yet I believe it’s not the length that matters but how you make it
Like Roald Dahl wanted a life like a candle burning from both sides
Doesn’t matter if it’s long or not
But what matters is, can it be big
Can we create a noise and ruckus for others to notice
Can we make others life better
Maybe a meaningful life is well lived
As always dear Neville, the words you choose truly depict your experiences and the thoughts show that you have witnessed and seen a lot
A man of few words but big impacts and huge feels
Quite emotive

Literally a bitter piece of a despicable whole, told in the most definitive of its unfolding. A poem I hate to love, but love nonetheless. Well done sir. I felt it.

Michael Edwards said:
How sad. A dear friend and excellent artist passed away a few weeks ago - he had no family and at his service it was mostly populated by other artists who will all miss him so. It was a simple serviice that was soon over but nevertheless it was so moving. Your great lines reminded of this - great write.

A seventeen line epitaph or testimonial may well be more rhan most of us get. Some are wise enough to write their own. Spike Milligan for example. Upon his gravestone are hewn the words \" I told you i was ill \".

Well written with such few words. It made me feel disgusted...yet I am thankful for you for sharing.
Is it possible to include triggerwarnings?

The title alone of this sensitive verse brought a lump to my throat - seventeen words to describe a life of years lived is so very tragic - - a sigh of a read Nev. which reminds me of some homeless who thru sad circumstance live on the street at this festive time of year........x

This is very bittersweet. Yet, I think 17 of the right, well chosen words could sum up a wonderful life too. Less is more.
Yet, I sympathise with what you are sharing here in your poem too

in one of the scribbles I\'ve shared
I started with these lines:
\'no flashing lights, or wailing sirens
nor herd of mourners, or endless wakes
my passing will be as subtle: as the life I led\'
(I just thought, your write today
and these words, fit
in such a poignant way)
sadly without context, all I can do
is comment and appreciate your ability
to infuse so much depth and feeling
in such few lines and even less detail..
what a masterful wordsmith you are, my friend
\'humbly, I read
and learn\'

Some people live in such sadness , and others in joy . It’s not fair tho is it because it is our right to be happy in our own life . I know I get frustrated with the sadness life has thrown me .. but I know I’m worthy of much more
