An All Too Certain Falsity
Doggerel Dave said:

Thanks Nev for a lesson all should see and cogitate upon:
\'Love\' a term used with free abandon by many who don\'t know it\'s meaning.
Have i just just mounted an old hobby horse of mine....again...?

Love may or may not be reciprocated
That’s why they say love is selfless
So true dear poet
Initially I felt love is like a rumour turning around with no truth in it
Then I felt love is simply selfless

Being loved the best is an aim of so many who need constant assurance of value etc - but to be taken for granted can sting the most........ some deep thoughts in this read today Nev. - - hope I have done its message justice in this short review.....................x

Love or thoughts of love if not explained can be so painful Neville.

An All Too Familiar Modus
Garth Rakumakoe said:

The praying mantis lover. Apparently their kind are the most irresistible. The drawing flame, whose heat burns the most.

Ohhh
That happens
Only if sooner we could realise before being badly hurt inside
Alas love is unpredictable and blind

Seems often the misled mislead those who being vulnerable believe too easily - - great example here Nev. of finding out a bit too late that all is not fair in love or war................x

The Wreck of Our Lady
Garth Rakumakoe said:

I must say you bring her out in all her grandeur. I see her clearly. An adorned work of art sir. Thank you once more good sir.

But maybe she smiles to herself at thought of him. 🤔

The Wreck of Our Lady
Accidental Poet said:

\"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald\" by Gordon Lightfoot comes to my mind N. And just as worthy a tribute here of your own, a fine work of prose. 👍

The Wreck of Our Lady
SureshG said:

Whether it be a small boat, a yacht, a ship, a bungalow, a mansion, a car, a truck or even a toy either beached, or by the side of the road, in a junkyard or even in the attic, they all have a story to tell, but they all will need a poet such as yourself to give them that last hurrah

dusk arising said:

Aye but her torn and buckled plates have such tales to tell as they warn others of the perils of the deep.

The Wreck of Our Lady
Paul Bell said:

All ships go to that watery grave at some point, though some go quicker.
There is a great tradition in Britain in restoring old ships, if possible. I take it this ship is too far gone.

The Wreck of Our Lady
Fay Slimm. said:

Your title says it all Nev. Familiar around our coastline too are boats once so proudly prized and now thrown aside. Real regret comes to mind after reading your lament at seeing the carnage of a storm-wrecked carcass such as that beautiful Lady now just rotting away - - sadly - - Fay ..............x

The Wreck of Our Lady
Doggerel Dave said:

Orchi is obsessed with these women he believes you keep throwing up onto MPS - should go without saying they are all, all of them, boats in various states of disrepair.... I have at home a small (4 in) piece of driftwood, found on a beach, smoothed by years of immersion, eaten out by long dead boring thingys and one broken brass screw embedded in its body... Should I do a poem in competition? Nah - not me....You do what you do best, Nev.

orchidee said:

Good write N.
Sounds like KP - a rotting boat, all boarded up, bits dropping off her, bits of Botox added - 95% that is. lol.
I know a boat named \'Princess\'.
Should I meet this gal? Or this boat? Or both!

Emotive words Neville but the trust could never have been there.

Unsincerely Yours
Doggerel Dave said:

Maybe I\'m just not that deep - I\'ve lingered with past relationship for years....... Know how to say a quick final goodbye when the need arises, though....

Unsincerely Yours
myself and me said:

Oh, bother.

Unsincerely Yours
orchidee said:

I gotta meet her again! I can\'t stand it without her!
I mean this lass - not KP - I can\'t live WITH her! lol.
Do shut up sometimes Orchi. lol.

That isn\'t a poem. That\'s just a sentence.

Unsincerely Yours
spilleronsheet said:

Another imprint you left
Some words untold
Some buried inside
Some knots never opened
Some untended wound
Never knew
Never understood in life
But they hurt the most
The uncalled goodbyes

Unsincerely Yours
Fay Slimm. said:

Indifference walks off and can leave often - methinks good riddance to deliberate and insincere behaviour - -- get wise to those who may never say a simple goodbye - -- dunno why Nev but this for me was a right-rousing read ................x

Unsincerely Yours
L. B. Mek said:

I don\'t know, dear Poet
if life has taught me anything,
its to treasure
the sharp, permanent goodbyes
seemingly overnight;
where as those murky, elongated separations
with their left-over bruises
that linger
only frustrate, for longer..
(somehow at just the title
I was already irked, by the memory\'s
it made me recall, names
I had imagined forgotten
waiting, in my mind\'s lost box
to prick, those rummaging tendrils
trying, to meaninglessly - recall)
another great shorty, and one
I\'m sure quite a few can relate to
