Hey Neville - without a response to any of us, you have still achieved second place on the Trending Now ladder - here\'s hoping this minor contribution bumps you up to top place.

That\'s a relief, I thought I might be subjected to an updated Rudyard.....
The possibilities could always be there.... Alas...

There are indeed Neville a philosopher\'s poem this is. We will never know the outcome of all the ifs the roads never taken. So short but so satisfying. Nicely done my friend I feel that the philosophical has its place in poetry alongside the emotional and so a fave

She burned the corners of every room she touched, fierce and uncontained—then Time showed up, careless and cruel.
What remains is the echo of her light, bruised but impossible to forget.

Wonderful words Neville, it reminded me of my wife who could light up a room with her smile, at her funeral many said that her smile was what they would always remember about her.

Neville, this hit me hard…there’s something devastating about beauty meeting inevitability like this. It begins luminous and ends so quietly bruised. That final image of withering lingers in a way that feels painfully human. “she then bruised and eventually just withered away ..” stays with me, mate! Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Life is full (I hope) of moments and short durations......
I don\'t expect more, but hope to live within each, Neville.
I thought she was lovely.

Beautifully written, Neville. Your poem revolves around a woman whose beauty and charm have a profound impact on her surroundings. However, despite this beauty, the poem highlights the fragility of life and how time can diminish even the most vibrant presence.

The ending analogy Neville is amazing. Like windfallen fruit to wither away from a kiss too long and hard is well pictured in my mind. I think I may have been there at some time. Oh but to pluck that fruit in its ripeness and with cair not to bruise taste its sweetness. It make my mouth water. A lovely write and for that last stanza a fave indeed

Far too easy, I admit, to take the latest serving of crap from my old tranny atop my fridge, and pull it apart, propose questions I could ask from my kitchen and move on to the next piece of carefully curated shit…
The real truth? And what can I do other than ensure I remain aware I’m being conned..
This took time and effort to put that together, Neville. And I’m really glad you did.

Neville, this is a blunt call to stop taking the bait. You frame the obsession with labels as a smokescreen, then widen it to the larger machinery of suffering and complicity. The emotional core is that numbness line…tears dried out into blindness. …It’s heavy, confrontational, and purposeful. In fact, it’s all of those things…and timely. I hope those who read it pause long enough to sit with what you’re pointing at. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love political or social or economic poetry as I firmly believe poetry has the power to convey what we feel in the truest way. Thanks for sharing this.

Neville you have hit a sensitive spot. I like to consider myself antipolitical but I have recently been prodded by current events into writing some political posts and have another one ready to put up. They are not for either side in what I see as a bad guys and worse guys battle so its hard to cheer but it is about the absurdity of history reenacting itself and no one seeming to notice or care. Maybe they just feel helpless and don\'t know what to do. This poem hits hard and boils the blood. You might want to check out Rashomon or one, two, three, four.... five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

raw and unflinching—your words bleed truth through the veneer.
There’s grit in your longing, a weight we all carry but seldom admit.

Neville, this feels like a confession layered in metaphor. Hunger becomes more than appetite…it’s longing, ambition, ache. The way you circle from womb to wisdom to withheld bread builds something restless and deeply human. “and my solitary bid for true freedom ..” lands with quiet weight. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
