A Solitary Passing
Fay Slimm. said:

The read gave me a picture of the dire situation when on battlefields soldiers often die slowly and yes with flies as their only companions - - a most solitary passing indeed is that end which comes during war and one we must never forget. Hope this is near to the message your haunt of a write meant my caring friend - - if not then I stand to be corrected and willingly .........x

Attrition
L. B. Mek said:

the absurd chain of haphazardly circumstantial events that manipulated a simmering but stable Europe into the bloodshed of horror that was WW1 is quite simply: mind boggling, to read it now is like reading some far-fetched plot of a fictional story...
only it\'s not fictional and the horrors and consequences are sill prevalent a century later...
even more horrifyingly: is the haunting realisation that humanity has learnt little from having experienced a century of two horrific world wars...
Attrition, indeed: I smile at people\'s notion that Hell is an ideology reserved for the afterlife...
you\'ve penned a wonderfully worded empathetic write, on a subject that triggers me easily

Ever since I saw the Series, the images are imprinted on my mind. Your few words have jarred this reality back to life.
Thanks

Oh what a meaningful title to your reminder of what not to do - - --
- -to use this method of wearing down by constant attack must take minds of solid unfeeling rock-hard determination to conquer and to control - -- a heart-wrenching read my dear Nev.

needs to be read a few times for its layers to be unravelled,
an abstract portrait
of a personality trait
we all unfortunately - know far too well,
great write my friend

Some very profound words Neville but mediocrity is a challenge to all and with words like yours it has been overcome.

Dove said:

Dear M & M,

Being ordinary is nothin new
sadness seeps just like dew

just like dew drops softly blend
upon a rose’s petals ends

So shall your melancholy fade
And your sadness retrograde

Love is but a day away
May it find you today

May your hurts be released
And new friendships find you peace

Hurt and feelin\' alone \"Mediocre\" this man is certainly not - for with love in his heart he is a hero

Neville,

Hello friend!

Old or new, a hurt is a hurt when we ‘have been wronged’.

Nicely penned poem...no mediocrity there.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Ha well , I love 💕 you, however beautiful gets caught in the throat, not out of malice, but of fear!
But harsh words are best swallowed in silence , Amen

Let\'s start with your words! And don\'t you love that on a wet and windy Saturday morning you don\'t have to go anywhere if you don\'t want to! Tea, toast and lovely jam.......

Michael Edwards said:

Some words stand alone but other words need other words and ... not sure where I\'m going with this - run out of words.

dusk arising said:

Looks like Ive lost last week again..i dunno where ive put it either....

There are words and there are words.... and theres that learning stuff too..... when youve found those kind of words that get stuck in the throat..... well .. next time around youll be reluctant to let them get as far as the throat....

But i never learn.... so i gave up!

Never knew \"Paisley\" could be so much fun. Always considered it overly intricate, but on Indecently prepped skin, well, it\'s a whole other ballgame.

Oh yes - Agreed that yang is for those who are angry but yieldingly yin and perfectly ready is a lady\'s prepped skin for the feel of Paisley- tracing - - thanks for the fun read to lighten this stormily Cornish day mon ami..............x
