More bargain poems Neville. I do love a bargain. Two for the price of one. They appear to be related in some way. You know those Convent educated girls, from memory always spent more time in the confession box. The second sort, was more concerned about her halo. She needed to keep it well polished and it sounds that she succeeded. Have a peaceful and contented Tuesday my friend.

Looks like once she rids herself of all that gear, she knows where she\'s going.....maybe she could give number two a nudge, or gazump her completely.
Think I\'d be any good as a problem auntie in the back of those women\'s mag...... well maybe not...

Good write N. I don\'t suppose I will unravel anything cryptic, whether it\'s one, two, or 100 poems! lol.

Sounds like a hell of a story lurking in there somewhere. 🤔

Feels like an old master I saw in a gallery somewhere, but cannot recall...
Clear picture in a few words though.

Ah Neville you have left me with no clue as to who was found and who was scorned. So many fit this profile. Such a contrast portrayed in this, Even a metaphor for poets recognized and those not and even put down. Loved the flow and the contrast as well as word choice.

Two stunning pieces, you\'ve outdone yourself in brevity, wit and color blending. Made me smile bigly. Thank you!

Yes, very cool indeed. Is she gone? Is the dog? Well done.

Cassie58 said:

I have never been to St Malo. Seems you have some very clear memories of a long time ago when you were young and innocent. On the other hand I have been to Somerset many times and have memories of very happy family holidays there. I love your first poem Neville. It speaks to me of you wishing you were in your home territory with those you love best.

I traveled in Somerset, once. Went into a pub there, and the barman said I should try the local cider. I should not have listened to that man.
Never been to Saint Malo, but trust you remember it well. Perhaps more than just fingers. - Phil A.

A border terrorist, is that like a border collie? You always get me thinking farther than my lazy brain wants to go, particularly on a Sunday. I think that border terrorist is guarding the border between Summerset and France. Oh oh my insanity is showing through. Great write Neville

I of course will fail to see the links between two poems if they are the least bit cryptic. If there are any links, that is. lol.

Making Green & Reflex
MendedFences27 said:

Loved both of these. \'Making Green\" I would say, would be my favorite. The simplicity of it adds to its message.
\"Reflex\" is a bit humorous, not intended to be a morality poem, yet very enjoyable. Maybe you were allergic to her perfume. - Phil A.

sorenbarrett said:

Well Neville creative, imaginative loved the blend of colors and the metaphor gos deep as does blue into yellow to make new green sprouts. You taught me something in your note I was unaware of the name of the reflex.

Doggerel Dave said:

Nah that\'s not right - them greens in chapter one weren\'t properly cleaned of seeds.....
Having sorted that one for you, those two pictures are easy on the mind\'s eye.
ACHOO (your comment) a collectable.
Thanks Neville.

I really like this pairing with the haiku-like a glass of well aged Shiraz and Asiago-

Cheers!

A fine two writes N.
Not - \'No one here in this church but us church mice coming out of the floorboards\'.
Somewhere I heard it as a saying: \'No one here but us mice\'.

Soft words for a soft topic and beautiful as down feathers they fall upon the ear. The combination of the Haiku following the poem was brilliant like icing on a cake.

Accidental Poet said:

as ghosts we may hold so dear
names of years past forgotten not
in hopes we have been heard

we are but a smile
for morning doves to see
and so the day begins

Cassie58 said:

Good morning Neville. I am liking your two for the price of one. Your first, is quite lovely. All of a sudden, I think being a ghost sounds rather special. There is alot of love there. And your second, being woken by doves, that is special too. What a wonderful morning wake up call. Have a great day. I have eye surgery to look forward to:)
