Himawari - Sunflower
L. B. Mek said:
\'Even with his head
turned slightly
to one side and held low
He shone
and brightly so ..
Erect, proud and golden
Taller
than his counterparts\'..
\'Straining
although, bereft of belief
to glimpse, however brief
that promised: Rose
of scarlet threaded fate\'..

Himawari - Sunflower
Fay Slimm. said:
Your fine words raise a metaphor in my fanciful mind Nev. To belong to that sunflower class eyes need to shine with confident beauty and heads grow taller with maybe looking where best to show care for those growing in violent surroundings - thanking you kindly cos even tiny short me feels a bit taller after thinking on your lines rich in simile...........x

This anthem to night\'s cavalcade of stars humble the senses if like me these few words evoke memories of dark sky lit with myriads of winking wonder - -- beautiful .......... x

a small glimpse of your True poetic depth
we get to glean in this Poem, my friend
as you subtly and brilliantly juxtaposition
that insistently prevalent - archaic mindset, where:
in the bleakness of night
when despair blows-out, hope\'s light
gripped by our incessant need, of all-things pandemic
that we gravitate towards, for being dramatically chaotic
we finally realise, that hidden potential for greatness
in all that we utilise to survive and stubbornly: Thrive...!
and there-in, exists that unwavering mythology
of innate belief, in our capacity to mimic
what godliness of flesh: we can yet, realise!
(Such depth of versatility
you showcase consistently, dear poet
Two great poems from you today
each, so drastically different
in style and tone, what a poetic treat)
Brilliant!
in my humble opinion

\'But hey ..
For some obscure
reason
and quite out of the
blue
He remembered
how she liked her butter
melted\'..
love it when you utilise
your trademark conversational style and tone
then subtly weave-in
those hidden elements in your write
like the quite despair and frustration, in this
somewhat carefree
and unassumingly worded poem,
that\'s such a uniquely hard skill
you\'ve developed and mastered, dear poet!
sometimes
it may truly be a blessing, when eventually
our memory: allows us, to let go and forget...
A brilliant write my friend
what a great way to start my week, thank you!

That\'s how the night sky makes you feel isn\'t it. Especially on those clear frosty nights when all the stars are visible. How insignificant i become faced with all that.
You post is like all the questions \'why\' compacted into a few lines.

Memories - they come unbidden more often than not. Better if they are good \'uns, and these seem to be - with perhaps a sigh, Neville?
Nostalgia the word? If so the memories are worth the poem which I enjoyed.

The many things that pass through the mind about a past love tell how much that \"back in the day \" is much nearer the present than anyone thinks......... the feeling lives on whatever the time and you scribe it totally heart-tugging here my dear Nev...........x

Reminiscences are the reward for having lived a fruitful younger life.
Melted butter and fingered hair. Two unique style statements like no-one else possesses.

Nothing but a Keepsake
Dove said:
Awe, postcards from the past are treasures
Sometimes a person likes to be a bit melancholy
and fill their days with what could have beens!
I filled mine with Fairy Tales of the past
And Fantasize what could be, why not lol

Nowhere Left to Bleed
Dove said:
Oh spill thine jewels of crimson red upon the floor
Or let them run from thine soul unto the ground
For every Precious drop that spilled before
Cannot erase the heartbreak thou’st has found
But I shall lend and ear , and listen wisely
No crazy soul shall break thy wings
Thy shall land thy naked tail wisely
And no longer shall your heart sting
🙏😀🙏😀🙏👍
Great write as always Neville

Nothing but a Keepsake
L. B. Mek said:
(this is such an enticingly, contemplative write
and thanks for inspiring
my little scribbled reply, dear poet)
what\'s truly scary
is how abundant and universal
those keepsake postcards are..
I wonder, if regret is actually
a necessary element of existence
does everything, regret?
the Sun, too tired to stay and greet the Moon
a little longer
the Moon, too busy getting ready to meet the Sun
a little earlier;
and everything else, in-between
imitating that same futile frustration
in our happenstance dance, of belated realisation\'s
fated consequence..

Neville,
You are remembering that saved faded postcard to remind you of living in the here and now. The past is over.
Appreciate today and all the days you’ll be gifted with…
and live to the fullest henceforth.
Another wonderful “scribble”.😉
