a toast!🍻
to those
who gift us those scars
bone deep, to help
make that merciful alcohol
taste bittersweet...
a wonderful play on blatant euphuism\'s virtues my friend

She was my elixir, my sensation\'s zenith, my addiction, my sacrifice, my downfall, my lesson. She was everything upon my lips.

In your verses are pictures painted in life, evoking from me a flow of emotion ... to try and capture a fragment of a yesterday.

Worded so clearly those needs for guilty quaffing your super three liner will most surely draw sighs \'cus toxic or not lips leave secret aftertastes after bouts of slow sipping - - - wow - now I need shower......x

how very clever dear Poet:
*within that \'tone\' you\'ve utilised in a seemingly unassuming first stanza - you\'ve somehow encapsulated that \'youthful element of life\' we all yearn to experience again...
*in that second stanza, versed utilising subtly archaic verbiage you\'ve given us a taste of language\'s once great past - we literary lovers yearn to revisit...
*and in your final few lines you note their passing while reminding us: that they are never truly gone from our lives, for we need only reach back and reminisce - fondly, free of bitter regret, to insure \'their love affair\' with us \'goes on and on and on\'...
Brilliantly witty, another great showcasing of your seemingly depthless talents my friend

Undeniably Brilliant!
such a delectably versed spectrum of layered insightful commentary, highlighting those widely varying corrosive aspects within our society

Why not beautiful? I guess the mind of a narrator asks no questions, just reflects what is and what happened.
Poor old Steve, if a poet has never starved themselves to be truly hungry, can they ever claim to be a poet? If a poet hasn\'t tried living on fresh air and water I\'d wonder how imaginative they are...
Sadly it is probably true as publishers would bid to sell the sansational find rather than poetic content. A real quirky good \'un Neville.

I write poetry for my own pleasure and if others like it I am pleased, I think there are many like me and we will never make money from it. Good words Neville.

I was expecting something far more political after reading the title of your post..... print something which will have a negative effect on the wellbeing of society sells newspapers LOL.

Starving in droves Neville.... which person ever became wealthy purely from writing poetry? Songwriters yes, but poets?

Poetic justice... a strange phrase.

I\'m confused about how to react to your post today. I feel that it contains some sadness of the passing of an angel, in the eyes of those who looked upon her, and the dirt on the spades of those who do nothing but dig for dirt to delight a sub editor.
