Your work is definitely something to be admired... Poetry in its most poetic form. Pleases all of the senses.

Fallen fruit indeed. For our fields have not seen the fruit of our youth fallen for many centuries but an orchard strewn with fallers will always bring to mind the disgraceful deathly export of our fruit to flanders field and the like.
Beauty is a reflection of the souls sorrow.... amplified in me with your fine words today.

really like your last stanza and the \'feel - tone\' of the voice in this write, has a sense of \'mellowed despair\': an apt description of 2020 as a whole I think

Very good words about an horrendous situation where so many innocents died, if only we had learned from that time.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

This is such a cinematic portrayal of what we can only assume to be the horrific realities of war. You\'ve done a wonderful job with this. Very impactful.

Madness isn\'t. And had they not been mown down by machine gun fire what mayhem had they been induced to afflict upon reaching enemy lines.
Other nations were motivated by bygone despots, dictators and kings..... they too mourn their losses.
And of course the innocents, victims of genocide and war.
All we need is love.
These thoughts produced by reading your moving piece. All the more moving for the beauty above in your quiet, still and starless night.

A fine write Neville.
Meanwhile - I remember it well, from The Boer Wars - I was in them, being very old!
I never took part though. I thought they were in Australia, so I headed there. Doh!

Razor-sharp versing of nightly horrors when war blocked all quiet - your ink paints scenes we should never forget of men whose lives or senses never returned again to a homeland. Shame on those conniving such sacrifice and thanks my friend for this needed reminder.

I have always been intrigued by people\'s \'last words\' (or those claimed to be at least) and their self chosen epitaphs, you glean so much more understanding to the person they always wanted to be,
a revealing and brave write, much more refined and eloquent than my own \'Fare ye Well\' effort as well, lol

Really? Is there no way to get rid of you? just kidding.
I suppose this is thought we have when we know only too well that were the boot on the other foot.... there would be thoughts of them wherever our feet had shared a path, our bums a chair, our eyes a sight. Even places anew would be in the company of thoughts of them.
Very moving..

So moving these words of appeal to a special someone - -- gone only in presence lovers\' feelings need no form and can travel across skies, seas and deserts as the poem infers - -- a tenderly warming thought my friend................ x.

Nah - the preceding apostrophe meant to substitute For \'You\'re\' - an attempt to not be too formal.
Is it \'back\'? OK - the curse of short term memory loss.....Anyway no remission there - YOUR welcome was in turn very welcome also.
Squared away now?

Copious use of stops....I\'d endorse that - it\'s something I use frequently although as a suffix mostly.
From the School of Hard Knocks you should gain admission to the University of Life from which, if you work it right, you never graduate - remain a perpetual student.

A wise couplet - and it makes me ponder the difference between learned and learnt - I should know but now about to google it.
An edit to add that they are the same except learned is more common across the pond whilst the UK tends towards learnt - so, being a patriot, I shall use learnt from now on.

I fell from a tree
where i had no place to be
The school of hard knocks has awarded me several diplomas. Rumour has it that i am approaching a lifetime achievement award.
Neville, today you give us two lines of such profound wisdom where many others may write twenty and miss the target by a mile.
Quality shines.

Words \"lost on the wind,\" and yet \"come back to haunt,\" and inspire, but we know that the here and now is the only reality, yet we can dream can\'t we. How much of our reverie is filled with such moments? She may have \"drifted\" but the memory lingers. Too much time has passed for it to be anything more than a whimsical thought and a lovely poem. - Phil A.
