The Preciseness of Your Approximations
sorenbarrett said:
Love this poem Neville life is based on approximations, educated guesses, hunches you may say. A basketball shot, a cricket swing of the bat, the stock market, a word in a poem, a ventured kiss and sometimes it is a while before we see the results. A wistful and wonderful write that takes a time to soak in. a fave my friend

A Few Notes on A Feeding Frenzy
Doggerel Dave said:
A piece of advice my dear old Dad left me which I was not forced to reject in the light of later experience, was: “A bargain is only a bargain if you really needed the purchase in the first place”.
I paid a very brief visit to a cheap n cheerful outlet for the lower end of the rag trade. While passing, I popped in out of curiosity. Among the frenzied throng I walked briefly on a thick carpet of clothing presumably selected and swiftly discarded. A five (maybe four) minute visit was quite enough.
You enabled me to relate that story, and it is a relief to spit it out, Neville.

A Few Notes on A Feeding Frenzy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, what a sharp and painfully observant poem this is. The retail liquidation becomes something much larger here...a portrait of appetite, decay, and the uneasy realization of how quickly sentiment gets consumed once scarcity enters the room. The vulture imagery is especially effective because the speaker recognizes themselves within it for a moment before rejecting it. That final image of leaving empty handed carries real moral and emotional weight. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A carcass in the field picked by vultures is not a very appetizing sight. Nicely written Neville it is sad to watch what was a noble beast fall prey to modern predators. Well written my friend

I know this feeling very well. Your poem revolves around the themes of consumerism, loss, and moral conflict. It captures the experience of witnessing a retail store\'s liquidation sale, emphasizing the frenzy of shoppers as they rush to obtain discounted items.

Late Harvest in Progress
Thomas W Case said:
You’ve got that old ache wrapped in autumn light here—memory that still smells of apples and bad decisions.
There’s a rough, honest tenderness in how youth hears a warning and walks straight into it anyway.

Feels like a quiet morning promise spoken before the world wakes up, soft and unguarded,
There’s a steadiness in it—love set down simply, like something true enough it doesn’t need decoration.

Neville, this has such a lovely mature tenderness to it. Memory, aging, friendship, attraction, nostalgia, and quiet regret all mingle together beneath those wonderfully textured sensory details. And that final turn lands with perfect human honesty. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a lovely story telling set in musty images that seem faded as is the past. It is worn to fit and feels comfortable as an old friend framed in nostalgia of past bad choices that molded what we now are. Lovely my friend a fave

A most tender love poem Neville. Well composed it starts with the dawn and nature stirring that seems to mimic the stirring of the human form just before awakening. The thought left for the sleeping is dream like and passes like a dream while still lingering in the mind. Well done my friend a fave

Oh @#&$!...Neville...Nev...my dude...this is brilliant in its restraint. The irony lands without needing to overexplain itself, and that final phrasing leaves the whole thing balancing between revelation and deception at the same time. So clean and effective, my friend. Honestly, one of my absolute faves of yours. If I could get this framed...I would. Do I have permission? 🤣 Poet credited! Seriously...this is brilliant, mate. Well done, my dear friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
You know when I drop murder on you, it\'s ALL LOVE. 💕

Heavy holy books may contain slim slivers of truth occasionally, when here in three short lines is a simple truth which did not require all that binding. Please read \'binding\' in whichever way feels most appropriate.
Thanks Neville.
