Neville this smacks of how some relationships work on one level but not another. Obligations make for a different game and there is greater excitement in freedom. A most pertinent write my friend

In The Shadow of Fast Clocks
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, this carries a thoughtful, wandering reflection…moving from time and aging into something more existential. “A series of back on back tiny moments” and that closing uncertainty about the rules really anchor it. It doesn’t try to resolve anything…it just sits honestly in the question. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Time will not stop, and age will not pass, we all get older in time Neville but we are still here and so much luckier than others we knew,

Your poem may be an exploration of existential questions and the personal journey of understanding one\'s life in relation to the inexorable passage of time.

I attempt, fast or slow, to ignore it, Neville. What\'s that old corny phrase, \'in the moment\'?
Except, that is, when it\'s time for a cuppa....

A slow clock shortens your years but lengthens your pleasure. A most provocative write that pulls at the mind and I can not help you my friend about the rules, I thought I knew them but they were all changed last week. Well done Neville

A Short Series of Wonderings
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, this carries a quiet, lingering weight…not loud, not dramatic, just honest. That movement from hurt to reflection, and then to something like distance, feels real. The wondering softens, but never fully leaves…just becomes something you visit less often. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Obviously in precisely the right moment to give it that level of reflective examination.
I recognise the distance and depth perfectly...

A lost love from way back will sometimes pop into memory and cause one to wonder what happened. Nonetheless, it was a blissful time and who can argue with that. So well-spoken it caused me to wonder. - Phil A.

A glimpse through a keyhole in time at thoughts that seem to darken as the sun goes down. A most lovely write of a haunting past dimmed. Loved it Neville

Not one of the Mrudulas a Google search throws up is she?
I’ll freely admit to moving a couple of \'poets\' on… but I never did it with a smile….

My Grandfathers Hydrangeas
Doggerel Dave said:
Here there\'s a programme \'Gardening Australia\" Fridays 7.30 sharp on ABC. You\'d be a dead ringer for a prime spot on there complete with Grandad\'s Hydrangeas. Apply now.
\'Pity their season is so short.
Great job on a great flower; thanks Neville.

My Grandfathers Hydrangeas
sorenbarrett said:
What is a bout grandfathers and hydrangeas? I remember well both of my grandfathers had them. My father never did although he loved gardening and had many other types of flowers. I sense a metaphor here as well and firing up with iron filings and cutting them back each year seems appropriate for growth in human terms as well. Loved it my friend

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, that line about “fired up…full of ferrous iron filings” stuck with me…it turns something ordinary into something almost alchemical. Like tending the soil is also tending legacy. The repetition of the opening brings it back around like a season…like March always comes again. There’s something steady and grounding here. And, I love hydrangeas, so there\'s that. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Raw sunlight, sweat, and hunger—this one’s got the pulse of a man remembering he’s still alive.
There’s grit and gratitude in that last line; desire here isn’t pretty, it’s honest, and that’s why it works.
