Black Pearls
Cassie58 said:
Well I’ve come along and read this many times to try and get pictures in my head. I see oysters. Yes sea food. Recently I watched a video of black pearls being extracted from an oyster shell. Fascinating it was. I wondered whether the oyster felt pain. Discarded oyster shells? How am I doing Neville? Such a unique write. Loved it whether I am close or a million miles away :)

Black Pearls

\"and asked, if I should
like to watch
her bleed black pearls,
to hide the hurt
of being left so far behind\"
My favorite part of this charming poem that seems a puzzle. Since you have made it clear not to introduce spoilers for the next reader I\'ll refrain but several came to mind. I do think in one case the word silhouette is a key word, An alternate view is the title itself and seed have great meaning.

This applies to so many things all at once. It’s perfect. It’s confounding If I already wasn’t addicted to having you as a brother I’d be looking for petty reasons to not like you. So often I struggle to pinpoint instead of circling, and then you say something poignant about everything all at once in a mere 34 words. !!!

You are right Neville there are several ways of looking at things and as I looked at this poem I saw many but again you are right the outcome is always the same. No matter what we do death is the final word for one and all and this becomes indelibly clear as we grow older. Beautiful and probably not the intended interpretation but so be it.

A poem which is open to much thought. Life and death. It doesn’t matter where we come from or what our journey is like, or whether we are rich or poor, we are all going to die. And as we age, inevitable thoughts of death, become more indelible. No escape for any of us. While I read these lines, my mind also travelled to your recent Crumbs poem. You always create much thought with your writing Neville. You stimulate the mind.

Now there!s cheerful for ya, but yes it plays on the mind. I think the five minute warning would be horrifying. Best not know. I just hope I’m not left behind. The sun is still shining here Neville, making the most of it.

A very meaningful piece of brevity. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it makes up for the rest. Nice.

This isn’t about sea food at all is it? Even though I know you like sea food. This is something else entirely. Well that’s my take this Saturday early evening. Very sensual writing Neville.

The release of inhibitions can be hard to overcome. She seemed extreme in a lot of her ways. Her beauty and charms were worth the challenge though.
A sensual poem that builds to a release of its own, (your last line). It speaks well of her. and let\'s hope she finally did \"let go.\" - Phil A.

A master class on how the mundane can be made seductive and sensual, Not just sexual but to the mind pulling it in closer and arrousing interest and a desire for closure. Lovely Neville
