Timeāan unmeasurable concept
Timeāa progression of events of past, present, and future.
āTis wise to be mindful of such events.
A meaningful and purposeful writing for yours truly considering the personal events of this past year.
Thank you for sharing.

Great write ā Neville.
Well, life begins at 40. The best is yet to come in our lives after that.
Keep writing ā and safe during these challenging times.

The ocean draws many people to her.
My wife and I have both spent our entire lives close to it. Now that we are older we are more inland. My Lord it\'s at lest a ten minute drive. LOL We must go there often to restore our sanity. It\'s in the blood of those so afflicted.
This is a great tribute to one such person, who, so it seems, is a true sailor. Born of the sea and still in love with it. A great nurturer just like it. - Phil A.

Dame-games never sit well with disinterested sailors whose love of the sea cannot be shifted by pouting of lips on scanty-clad lasses - -- this read captures old sea-dogs to an absolute tee Nev.

Once there was a woman, cheap as a penny whistle, men played her like a guitar.
No calloused fingers or thumbs here. Pretty much tone deaf, always have been. Yet, my children all play instruments, sax, clarinet. oboe. Did you finally master the art? Seems that a musical ear and poets don\'t mix.Did any ever play? Like the way you presented this one, like strings on a guitar. - Phil A.

A personification of the ocean? \"She\" draws men to her, \"drives\" them \"wild,\" and has managed to keep many a \"secret,\" not to mention her craziness. Well if not, then she probably drove me crazy. Did enjoy this one. - Phil A.

Yes I also recall those bygone days of sea food stalls and seaside boxes of crustaceans ready for the pot - you forgot the winkles which we used to gather at Southend and bring back for Mum to prepare - vinegar and a pin - the memories.

Memories of yesteryear happenings poemed so clearly in readable slang reminded me of screams from boiled crabs and young tears of anger when city-folk laughed - - I so wanted to free them and took years to like crabmeat - c\'est la vie eh ? - -- you paint the scene perfectly Nev...........x

Those were the days.
I remember we went down to Ramsgate one day with the family. On the way back we stopped in a park to have a picnic. We had bought a jar of whelks at the seaside and opened them. My Uncle Herb started chewing one but was struggling so he took his false teeth out put a whelk between them and said \"Now eat the bloody thing!\"

As will we all be once our day is passed and no longer out on a limb... the gutter awaits!
Pinned to the school wall for a lessons interest.... to fade and fall once again.... desecrated..... move along...... it\'s worms and caterpillars next week.

There is something light hearted and youthful about frekkles regardless of a ladies age. The contrast of tanned and untanned borderline so arousing on intimate revelation.
Well..... works for me anyway!
Love the instant familiarity you place in your reader with these insightful snatches of what is so easily taken for granted. It\'s as if you pluck the fruit from the tree and say \"hey, actually look at this will you\".

wonderful, the last two stanzas are some of my favourite I have read on MPS,
quirky, full of jest and winking phrases, but also a respectful tone which adds a classy touch

They say you pay a price for beauty, but I doubt they had leaves in mind. As gorgeous as they are, once fallen, they become an ugly nuisance. Maybe those are human traits as well? A clever treatment on leaves. - Phil A.
