Waiting for the Big E

You\'ll be OK then. The Good Book itself says that the mustard seed is the smallest of seeds, yet grows into the greatest of plants, where even birds nest in the branches.
I thought you meant the big C - Christmas. But it\'s not to be mentioned this early in the year! lol.

Such a sweet capture of a fleeting moment... I had a lady friend who was a bit of an amateur watercolorist... after her death, her daughter let me select a painting from a few more or less cast off or less impressive works. I chose a still life that features, not roses or apples or a rustic copper kettle, but a few somewhat scattered items typically found on a lady\'s dressing table... a lipstick, a mirror, a comb, and some makeup and perfume jars and a mascara brush. I imagine her all done up to start her day (she was a professional in a mostly male field) leaving these ordinary things somewhat carelessly behind. Your little poem reminded me of how she must have smiled a quick smile of satisfaction stealing one last look at herself in the hallway mirror as she bustled out to her day.

to hang permanently in the halls of memory where the light of passing years will not fade the rich hue of recollection
Another work of art in words upon which to lavish the colours of our will.

One of those jobs that need concentration is applying mascara - says she who has many a time had to wipe smudges from where they shoudn\'t be........... your last stanza aptly outlines the real reason for those \"upward sweeps\" mon ami........ masterpieces need concentration.

Erm, I struggles a bit with the hidden meanings of some poems. But they are adequate words - and I mean more than \'Oh, that\'ll do, any old words!\'
Fido of course says it\'s ONLY about some gal eating a load of strawberries. I will put him in the back garden a while, and have some \'excitement\' myself.
Tell Fido to shut up if you wish - but he never does! lol.

Beauty glows! From behind a tissue of year beaten experiences a rejoicing of life is written upon the shape one has taken and radiates from within.
The look in the eye as a hand gently squeezes yours..... holds the essence of \'why\'.
Great writing Neville.

Good write Neville.
I have the ability to reduce anyone to tears - I just sing! heehee.
I never said they are always tears of desperation though. Some may be tears of joy - ohh, about 1%. lol.

Oh I\'m sick with jealousy! I\'m sat shivvering with heat stroke in a shed with a hole in it\'s roof in a thunderstorm.
On the other hand I should be grateful for the company in here. No... I\'m not.... they\'ve all got many more legs than me.
Stirred by the richness of your words, entertained, enthralled and.... jealous.

Good write Neville.
As I\'ve said, I spent so long one day finding out what \'Carpe Diem\' meant, that by the time I found out, there was no day left to seize.
Well, ya can\'t win \'em all, can ya?! Doh!
If they had said \'Seize The Day\' to start with, I would have known what they were on about!

OK I\'m game, lets build a still. I\'m not doing anything for a few days so lets contemplate.... what sort of liquor shall we create?
Of course the quality of water is really important as has been proven by the scotch distillers so i think these hot weather days are a good time to be wading into some of our freshwater streams for sampling. Or should we be creating a heavenly liquor created from the hailstones which we are promised will be arriving shortly.
Don\'t wince like that, i said hailstones not gallstones!
Enjoyed your everso encouraging write today.

What year will that be - or approximately? When tuppence was about 50 quid\'s worth today?

Loved reading this finely penned poem. That Captain and lad certainly deserve all the ‘ale and salt brisket‘ that ‘tuppence can buy’...and perhaps more!
