There\'s a story there... or do we each imagine we know what this refers to from our own experience? Sort of the opposite of sound and fury signifying nothing?

A Collection of Slumbers
dusk arising said:

One of my ex\'s had a pair of secret drawers, on special occasions she would open them and show me her secret artifacts. I could describe them to you but that would be indiscreet.

Wisdom in your words sir. Again, words of life from one who has lived them.

I\'m an inveterate collector of bits of old rubbish which I somehow came upon during memorable moments. You have just told the whole of my story.

Reminded me of a poem i wrote ages ago:-

when u find
she\'s not the one
and grow tired
of the things she\'s done
then the time is here
to make it right
if its gone so wrong
move along tonight

But there again i could have got a hold of the wrong end of the stick.

Ugh! That time - yet again...
\'when rose petal words
are poisoned
by yesterdays misspoken tone
and a romance
once fated to bloom
a life time, now
stares back: Snag,
while all around
couples swivel - in-step
to their pulsed
lifetime soundtrack
of unending Spring delights\'
thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply my friend,
a great write you\'ve shared,
words depicting that heartachingly morose moment of belated realisation with incision accuracy and insightful brevity

One way of dealing with build-ups as you so tellingly describe here my friend. - or alternatively this could provide a reason for talking - -- maybe.............x

L. B. Mek said:

Startling murmuration\'s and Zebra\'s camouflage tactics are far too similar - in tone, to the \'herd\' mindset in Longfellow\'s \'A psalm of life\' for us to ignore: Nature\'s sobering pattern for survival\'s ease, I feel...
as usual, an intriguingly clever twist my friend, brilliantly executed

I just love your play on words here Nev.. - the murmurations of starling assemblies are always a wonder for bird-lovers like me and am I caught this little gem of a tribute

The symphony of birds singing is so wondrous to me. I have seen murmurations in the live and they are one of natures most magnificent sights.

All God\'s creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing loud and some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
some just clap their hands, paws or anything you like now

For many animals we have a verb for the animal\'s making the sound, and another word entirely for the sound the animal makes. Dogs bark, they go bow-wow. Owls hoot, they go too-wit-to-woo. Sheep and Trumps bleat, they go baa and fake news! respectively.

You could feel it throughout the nation
their skyward gaze contemplation
the darkening skies
amazed their eyes
behold, their first mumuration

orchidee said:

I suppose I could use \'thee\' and \'thou\' more in me hymns! Sometimes to get round non-rhyming words.
And also add \'est\', such as in knowest, takest, etc. Then I gotta count the syllables carefully if I do, as the \'est\' gives an extra syllable.
Do shut up waffling now, Orchi! lol
