All Moonshine truly is , is reflected Sunshine, but the folklore it\'s charged with is so much more. From lunacy, to control over, fertility, luck, the wind. illnesses, and business, when all it really controls are tides. Your personifications of both the Sun and Moon bring new light to the changing of the day. - Great One - Phil A.

Oh for the ability write short-line gems such as this one my friend. Full of engaging personification and loaded with need for the read to last longer I sit amazed at your talent for showing that less is more. Thanking you muchly Nev. for another example from which to learn.

Nicely spoken Nev. No matter where you go these days, you see the effects. As for doilies, they serve no useful purpose. They\'re terrible as a coaster, awful as a place mat, and totally dangerous as a pot holder. Well, truly enjoyed your poem. - Phil A.

You pen a sad picture of today\'s strange state my literary friend. Another piece to ponder on what has overtaken our once fearless race.

the only other poem I recall using the word doilies (or doily to be precise), is a poem by Elizabeth Bishop titled \'Filling Station\':

that your writing continuously reminds me of some of my favourite poems and Poet\'s, is a testament to the relatable quality and insight you write with

brilliant demonstration of how to instil effortless flow without using the usual poetic tools of form, rhyme etc
this reminds me of a poem by John Brehm, titled \'at the poetry reading\'

Heart-warming words which recall love once held higher even than poetry has to be given extra respect when coming from your memory laden mind my friend. Another helping of tenderly held thoughts on romance.......... hope all is going to plan for you in that fantastic Greek paradise................x

No, you cannot gift life\'s experiences and the school of hard knocks. Indeed it would be painful to witness.
Such things are for the individual as if life were a clay pot in which they mature at their own pace, some in a sunnier spot than others.
You sure know how to exercise my grey cells which I find thoroughly enjoyable.

Reminded me of the song, \"We\'ll sing in the Sunshine...........Then I\'ll be on my way.\" Gale Garnett 1964. But only 2 weeks? Yikes, she was a fast mover. And yet still remembered. Love the masonry context that you built throughout, Sometimes people do mean just what they say. Terrific poem. - Phil A.

There is so much in here and plain to see it contains references which are unique the the relationship. Great word play in verse one.
With trowel in hand methinks this was a relationship one would never cement though time would tell if there remained a bond.
Fun and fondness of this reminiscence shine from your post. So good to put a memory into words where it come alive again with every read as we fade into our later years.
Again, reading your work is a pleasure.

Good write Neville.
I was somewhat bothered about the timing - would it be the first two weeks of July, or the last two weeks? The latter maybe, as it moves on to August.
Oh I dunno - it\'s a quarter past Summer already this year! lol. Hope I can meet her?!

The painful realization of temporary oneness shoots all through this read when discovered in the last line is the rubble of ill-met abandon. I love the clever usage of \"mortar\" and \"cement\" as understandable slang - - top notch writing again Nev............x

Love the flowing short lines, like a clear stream bubbling images as you glide along downstream, literally nervous about coming face to face of a sudden with your saber-toothed leviathan. He may not fear us, but I darned sure fear him!

A perfectly lyrical piece of poemed excitement lies in local shallows and reeled in with your usual stylish intrigue my friend. - - most fishy tales grow bigger by telling but what an adventure Ol\' One Eye leads those who would catch and de-fame his legendary waiting for toes etc. - - moreover dear Nev. \'tis the last time I paddle in shallows of trout-streams round here............ x
