Tis, forsooth. Yet what half causes me to tremble is that my post for today, planned too long ago, yet has echoes here quite baldly. There\'s gold, fool\'s gold, and what is so far beyond gold that there\'s no comparison [see Proverbs 8 for starters] and how deliciously you\'ve woven the deceit in these seemingly innocuous lines, the allusion and reality winking at who may see. La dee! Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. I love, love, love it! Thank you for sharing.

Well said, Neville. I have so many of those. Sparks, I call them. Founders of many verses.

Simple small natural treasures often overlooked and so well imaged in poets ink. I couldn\'t agree more my friend so many little things that may not be that little at all overlooked and forgotten. This poem a reminder that remembering little good things is what brings pleasure and meaning to life.

Porlock
Cheeky Missy said:
Charming, very charming indeed. While rendered casually with a sense of simplicity as pure as the allusion to cotton, yet how inextricably you\'ve managed to lend a deeper notion somehow. Very lovely with excellent imagery and a peaceful poignancy haunting. Thank you very much for sharing.

Porlock
arqios said:
I like the salt‑soft nostalgia in Porlock, like a postcard you can smell and hear. The images roll in as gently as the tide, of boats hauled over green hills, fields that taste of brine, and oyster shells clinking in invisible baskets. That quiet moment where “no sound” reigns except the larks and bees feels like the pause between breaths, when the whole world leans in to listen. And then the sails appear, cotton‑worn and weather‑beaten, catching either blessing or burden from the wind; as if Porlock itself lives in that delicate balance between calm and the next shift in weather.

Neville, this paints peace…the boats, the fields, the quiet broken only by larks and bees. It’s a scene I could stand in. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Neville not to the name you name but to another I have been there. A beautiful portrayal of images that put my feet back in that sand and felt that wind against my cheek crossing those fields and hearing only the lark. Very nice my friend a fave

A locale evidently frequented by arguably the most noted of the romantic poets...so that\'s how Kubla Kahn got foreshortened.... I learn something new every day, but it takes a local to put me on the right track.

Abattoir Gulls
Cheeky Missy said:
I remain baffled. Since the gulls specified remain like fixtures, permanently affixed, I\'m left with the ridiculous image of a baby\'s crib with an odd mobile. As that sounds inconceivable, I\'m guessing it\'s a grand metaphor? Either way, beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A Taste of Nothing
Cheeky Missy said:
Alright, you\'ve got me. The conclusion should have enlightened me, but I remain baffled. I mean, I\'m free to read to my heart\'s content, and do, leaving comments where I like, whence the ending leaves me confused. But no matter. I dearly love how deliciously you\'ve rendered this pretty number with such imagery as gives its poignancy a leg to stand on, Napoleon couldn\'t have looked better. Thank you for sharing.

Remarking on A Flight of Fancy
Cheeky Missy said:
Deja vu haunts both the title of this familiar pretty number and its meat, yet a casual search left me empty-handed. Guess it all depends on the dearth or lack thereof since certain indulgences seem to never lose their flavor until superseded. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you again for sharing.

Cheeky Missy said:
Wow. I do so dearly LOVE how you make me whistle low in concluding, this pretty number with such a weighty poignancy it leaves me breathless in dread anticipation, poised on the verge of the unknown like some puddy tat about to spring. Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and, yes. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love this.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
First, I have to get this out out of the way: OUCH! LOL! That aside...the line about honor, justice, truth, and morality…that’s the one that echoes loudest here for me. It’s not just critique...it’s lament for what’s been squandered. The whole poem is very strongly written, Neville. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Well done...and extra 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛...that\'s six crows total...not quite a murder because, well, I love you! 🤣 Seriously, though, great job!

Got it in me fingers... and yes. perhaps foreshortened responses here might make, if not the world, then some contributors here less unhappy....but then... perhaps not...
But back to your original proposition - I do get your drift, Neville.

Although the individual does not come to mind the message seeps through and indeed there seems to be no greatness without adversity and there is no honor in ease. It is in the hottest fire that the best steel is tempered. Loved this one Neville a fave

A beautiful picture, perhaps a \"watercolor\"? All three lines relate to create the scene. The \"migrating birds\" set the time of year. Nicely done. - Phil A.

Falling for Icarus #2
Cheeky Missy said:
He stands as a lesson to countless, and yet what half makes me shiver is how spot on your entire discussion on the topic and poor soul is. We reach for heights not ours to obtain, give all we have, only to find the odds stacked against us are beyond imagination thereby. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and a killer poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Hi Neville, please laugh your head off, but your style always evokes a kind of listening to jazz music in me. This poem being no exception. I simply love the transition from grandeur, to almost speech, and juxtaposition of ironic expressions.
Well, in short, loved the poem.
Thanks
