That one certainly does (butting into a conversation between you and Fay - the empathy between you two palpable; is it the West Country air?) capture the trenches neatly, Neville.

A heart-piercing and well written account of how lads were led back then..The emphasis laid on going over despite what trench-tops had in store seers the mind Nev. - - - - war still lays demands that time cannot heal............... x

Cova
Doggerel Dave said:
Yes I knew Cova, only her name was.........Wish sometimes I\'d followed; but then perhaps too many complications...
A succinctly painted picture which made me appreciate the end, Neville.

Thanks Neville- worthwhile..enjoyed muchly.
You know I could’ve..(oh no you couldn’t); would’ve..(didn’t have the courage though, did you?); should’ve .. Oh yes – and If I had managed to write and deliver something even close, things might have been very different…….

another wonderfully intimate write, my friend..
I really like how you subtly imbued the uncertainty, masked
by that bravado of stubbornly declared intent
its like the person knows - just how bleak
the reality of retracing love\'s broken tethers may be, but still
they know that voicing their promise, will fuel
a little bit more into those tapped-out tanks
in the wilderness of a lonely night..

Doggerel Dave said:
Hi Neville - sent a copy of this entry off to Bletchley Park to let the wonderkinds there have a perfunctory at it - hope you don\'t mind.
Arrogance power and a touch of sadism also embodied there - nicely; terrible to contemplate.

Simple but complicated, Interpretation is in the eye of reader,
my assessment! Carry a bucket with holes, cause sands
get too heavy , and it’ll weigh ya down! An Island is
built on hope and love , not sand castles That wash away,
Sorry, it’s an excellent metaphor for life

brilliant!
(your words have inspired me to surpass my feeble limits, so many times my friend: thank you!)
\'its those, who are too considerate
to be bold
that end-up tip toeing, their way
to that bitterness of regret...
Behold, modernity\'s progression
where solidarity reigns - most supreme
between self-enforced isolation\'s
comradery bonds
of entitled tethers, to suffering\'s surrender
upon landlocked islands
within our Sea of stubborn mindsets
sailing in that abundant ocean
of Nature\'s innate communion
with all things: humane\'

Neat one, Neville. Reminds me of Work, now thankfully twenty years (how did that happen?) ago. Witness it (occasionally) on MPS. Probably a more common situation than we care to admit…….
Great little (contradiction in terms?) summary of circumstances I know quite well.

Neville you devil. So many wats to interpret this gem.
I like to think of it as an expression of a true love in a working relationship where each is unrestrained in their day to day and each bring home to their togetherness the rewards of being a whole and independant person giving their intimacy to the one who holds the jewels of their happiness and desires.
Nice one Neville.

as ever, quick with the wit and far too deep
when deciphering that cancerous - threat
to humanity\'s essential requirement, for survival
see, taken as a solitary case - study, this write - be a fun read
but when you consider
an entire generation has now been convinced
they need not pick-out that thread - to begin with
or lift a needle: only - to struggle with
only then do we readers, get a glimpse
at just how far-reaching and true
your words read...
clever and unerringly acute, yet for me: a truly foreboding read
a brilliant shorty, my friend!
would take me a few pages trying to unfurl its layers
and there-in exists the majesty, within our beloved poetry
