Ice Queen
L. B. Mek said:
so clever: its kinda crazy but that \'trolleyed\' finale, is imagery
I find so relatable, within the context of what modernity
has to offer, as a remnant semblance
of that extinct deity, we once - proudly, classed: \'A lady...\'
(wonderfully witty, but as-ever
still locked-on target, with succinct commentary
my friend) a great read!

Some people do have ice in their veins and are never defrosted, they need to be avoided.

again, ever-so subtly: brilliant! my friend..
I hate comparing your works
with those of famous Poet\'s, like Bukowski
but your effort today hit so close to surpassing
one of my favourites from his rather - divisive, cannon
I feel the need to quote his version on this same theme
(forgive my self-indulgent rudeness, in my own twisted way
I mean well, or at least that\'s what I\'ve convinced myself... lol)
from \'To the w**** who took my poetry\':
\'next time take my left arm or a fifty
but not my poems:
I\'m not Shakespeare
but sometime simply
there won\'t be any more, abstract or otherwise;
there\'ll always be money and w***** and drunkards
down to the last bomb,
but as God said,
crossing his legs,
I see where I have made plenty of poets
but not so very much
poetry.\'

A hole in the ground and old blighty\'..

Thanks Neville- worthwhile..enjoyed muchly.
You know I could’ve..(oh no you couldn’t); would’ve..(didn’t have the courage though, did you?); should’ve .. Oh yes – and If I had managed to write and deliver something even close, things might have been very different…….

another wonderfully intimate write, my friend..
I really like how you subtly imbued the uncertainty, masked
by that bravado of stubbornly declared intent
its like the person knows - just how bleak
the reality of retracing love\'s broken tethers may be, but still
they know that voicing their promise, will fuel
a little bit more into those tapped-out tanks
in the wilderness of a lonely night..
