... and with the Daughters parents dreaming of a day when she can play the role of a rich - poor man\'s wife, or even settle for the role with cushioned seating in the world of heated rooms, bathed with the hue of computer screens,
a brilliant write my friend,
how sharply your empathetic eyes read the abundant ironies in life

I am sure that the family are so much happier than those sitting behind a desk. Great words Neville.

You pen a rich encounter with those who make livings from simple endeavours which when seen stay long in the memory - this has to be a tale from your foreign travels mon ami and rightly you write up the difference in life-styles..... a real little gem of a read ..........x

there is a gross side to me that reads your words and hints at the use of the \'blue\' in the light of her arm that just saved itself from a stroking injury - vein, by sheer luck,
I will refuse to verify any meaning to my meandering wonderings on this erm \'touchy\' topic...
and to think you utilised the purest of poetic nature for your chosen form, oh the ancient\'s would\'ve blown their haiku veins 🤦♂️

Neville,
A very interesting and
intriguing poem...
as most of your writings are.
Hmmm...
Perhaps that ‘stroke of luck’
of missing
‘the vein in her arm’
was due to her poor vision.

Ohh themes like this make me shudder.
I heard some things at a self-help group - some in \'worse\' or deeper problems than me.
If she cut the blue (vein) would it be so bad as cutting the red (artery)? Veins take blood back to the heart; arteries take them away from the heart. This is how I see this. Bit of biology there!
I was a brain surgeon once, ya know. I couldn\'t find some brains. They were pea-sized in some folk. I mean, separate from the pituitary gland, which is pea-sized, I think. Staggers back in amazement at my dazzling knowledge?! lol.

A Solitary Passing
Laura🌻 said:
Neville,
A top notch write.
Writing in the first person immerses this reader into your subject’s plight. It makes me feels like I want to be there to comfort and ease the pain in some way.
All I can do now is to offer prayers to all who have lost their lives in such dire situations.

Fay Slimm. said:
The read gave me a picture of the dire situation when on battlefields soldiers often die slowly and yes with flies as their only companions - - a most solitary passing indeed is that end which comes during war and one we must never forget. Hope this is near to the message your haunt of a write meant my caring friend - - if not then I stand to be corrected and willingly .........x

Attrition
L. B. Mek said:
the absurd chain of haphazardly circumstantial events that manipulated a simmering but stable Europe into the bloodshed of horror that was WW1 is quite simply: mind boggling, to read it now is like reading some far-fetched plot of a fictional story...
only it\'s not fictional and the horrors and consequences are sill prevalent a century later...
even more horrifyingly: is the haunting realisation that humanity has learnt little from having experienced a century of two horrific world wars...
Attrition, indeed: I smile at people\'s notion that Hell is an ideology reserved for the afterlife...
you\'ve penned a wonderfully worded empathetic write, on a subject that triggers me easily

Oh what a meaningful title to your reminder of what not to do - - --

Dear M & M,
Being ordinary is nothin new
sadness seeps just like dew
just like dew drops softly blend
upon a rose’s petals ends
So shall your melancholy fade
And your sadness retrograde
Love is but a day away
May it find you today
May your hurts be released
And new friendships find you peace
