Ho ho ho, \"more tea vicar?\"

Sometimes it\'s best to appreciate the beauty from a safe distance as in Tigeress. Alluring beauty but oh those claws.

You are a fine artist of the word with this cleverly woven double meaning.

Fay Slimm. said:

Short, pithy and a sure masterclass in telling so much with such paucity of words - - - she of the widely available beauty should read this and wisely digest its meaning........ great read Nev.

Semi civilised people being judged by western standards?
Does making such gross acts illegal change their moral standards?
Where lies the answer?

Very thought provoking write today.

We don\'t know what goes on behind some doors.
Meanwhile - behind my door is only singing - and that\'s bad enough! (oohh).

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

HI NEVILLE - ANGELA HERE - Thanks for sharing & caring ! Its wonderful to have the opportunity to work in the medical field in another Culture. I have been on a Work Exchange in New Zealand for over 12 months and it has taught me alot about the Moari Culture and the Can-do Culture of the KIWIS. Theey dont let injuries phase them and the expect to be back on the *Field* the next day - doing the HAKA ! I liked the Structure of your Poem - nice balanced Free Verse Stanzas - easy to read & recite - excellent. The Subject was all too familiar in African Life - Disease and a *Kill or Cure* Philosophy. The attitude of the Siblings was also familiar *THIS IS AFRICA* Love Poems based on actual experience always mega !

Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

We have no idea of conditions in places where customs allow this inhumane treatment by scheming offspring until we experience the indifference by living among such communities- a story to touch the heart of each caring reader my friend.

May the third Margarita go down slowly so that enjoyment is everlasting.

Dirty Margarita
dusk arising said:

For she is a beguiling seducer adorned in her finery. No visible promise of later for the easily ensnared.

I Enjoy the drama in your writing Neville.

Dirty Margarita
orchidee said:

I won\'t \'go there\' in my sheltered life. Just to say - you met her? Margarita?! heehee. No, no, Fido, no barking. It\'s a poem about drinking, I suspect!

Nicholas Browning said:

I like this quite a bit. As always, your work beguiles.

Dirty Margarita
Fay Slimm. said:

Your tales always speak for the reader to judge and forge their opinion on subject or scene - this drinking too fast and hard I presume had to stop at the news that faked were those green-olive Margarita concoctions. Make mine a port wine every time.........Fay

Your words are speaking very well for themselves! I’ll savor my very dry three olives martini while you down your ‘second Dirty Margarita’...

Suresh said:

A tangled web your words have woven
Try as much, understand the mystery of words chosen
Not ashamed to admit, yellow tinge has me confused
As far as the verse itself, has me totally amused
