beautiful rhyme and tone, immersive imagery and crisp clear metaphors,
effortlessly capturing the whimsy in the idyllic scene of carefree childhood it depicts;
such write\'s could easily be tinged by the grating notes of envy - unknowingly, when viewed through eyes that have lived long enough to know the bitterness of regret,
another brilliant write my oh so talented friend!

The calm of this poemed scene passes into a harbouring dance such as I see on days like these in my neck of the woods - sun and your \"tame and tireless waves\" lapping in harmony with little boats - - - - - - a truly inspiring piece of writing mon ami.............x

Picture me, sat on the quayside seeing this exactly as you describe, obligatory spliff between my fingers lest i should be blind to this vision. A smile of contentment across my hungry mouth as the munchies begin to nag.

Took me into a fanciful state of mind as was once so accessible from a certain abuse. But I was there and yes I can picture your playfully happy scene in my minds eye.

Oh i dunno about good for nuthin..... they make a rather satisfying crunch when u squash \'em.

I usually encounter them hiding in the branches when i\'m blackberry picking. Far fewer of them about lately though. Last year i had a wasp nest in the soil beneath my front hedge. I prepared wasp traps as per you tube videos and they just filled up with blue-bottle type flies so i just kept my distance.
I only got stung once which was as a child on the side of my third finger which hurt like hell.

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Morning Neville. In NATURE & ECOLOGY every living thing has its place and especially WASPS they are an essential part of Natures Cycles & Webs ~ OK they sting but that is part of their defence mechanism ! Visually they add a touch of colour and their NESTS are a MASTERPIECE of High Rise Flat Engineeing built of Wood not Wax !
What good do they do ! WASPS play an impotant role in Pollination - Predation & Parisitism. Without WASPS we would be overun with insect pests and there would be NO FIGS. Some think that would be a good thing ! WASPS pick up YEAST from late season grapes and store it in Winter for the next seasons grapes. So next time you see a WASP ~ DONT kill it but *Raise a Glass* to it AMEN.

Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours A & B & Smokey ! ! !

Nearly all my long life I have never been stung bu a bee or a wasp but about four years ago I was getting the rotary clothesline in and there was a wasp sitting on top and it stung me as I reached up to get the line down. They hide from you and then get you.!

Well, there\'s the line, not that I subscribe to it....... He got rid of some human rubbish; it saved the tax-payer the cost of keeping them; why, we could save thousands today if it was brought back\'. But how much does rope cost? Do shut up Orchi. lol.
Erm, a materialsitic view there.

Suggestion: \"Pierrepoint’s Slippered Footstep\" - must have been the worst sound they could ever have heard!

I\'m gonna be a train driver when I grow up, what you gonna be Albert?

What\'s ya favourite card game Albert - SNAP?

I just read Goldfinch\'s comment about Pierrepoint not taking his work home with him and giggled, well neither does a sewerman.

A delightfully dark piece today yet full of respect for the man who\'s job none would vie for.

Goldfinch60 said:

It is amazing that Pierrepoint could do his job, he obviously had the ability to put his work in a separate cupboard in his mind and only open it when he had to do his work.
Wonderful words Neville, and I am so glad the ‘long drop’ is no longer with us.

Have learnt a new name with a most gruesome calling from this sombre but well captured versing today Nev - - the title seems apt - but oh that number of long drops Albert had seen makes me shudder for his hapless family who could never have thought his official position was fun ......................x

Those dreams will always be there and even if they are buried in the snow, snow melts and those dreams will rise once more.

Everything seems to real and here and suddenly it\'s gone...... I loved

Somewhere lost
without wanting, or wishing
to be found, until they are dust

lol, what delightfully \'free\' partner(s) you have encountered, how lucky a gift - that imagination you utilise, expertly: to spice those delight\'s you squeeze out of life,

Yes, I should get out more, I really should, cos it\'s all dreams to me too! Leather? Swoon! lol.

L. B. Mek said:

or maybe, just maybe if hindsight were to arrive early - for once, he would realise: those dreams are being realised, in each breath of flicked feather and her sultry shudder of pleasure, at his every whisper of surrender...
sorry my friend your words jolted my keyboard into life and I found myself scribbling away - yet again, I have lost count at the amount of times your writes have inspired instantaneous flow of unfiltered rhymes from me... what a gift you wield!
brilliant pacing in your wonderfully immersive lines this write

Let’s hope the winds of lust

But do enjoy if you must
The color of foreplay

I have never encountered a yellow umbrella but in one session of my working days I had a black umbrella as defender on my walk to work (Blimey! that was a long time ago!)
