Immaterial Things Such as These

Neville loved the format of this poem it seemed a zipper that was closed. Never the less it\'s rhythm rolled out as if the zipper was unfastening. I too wished I had had a pen many times when thoughts drown in that reservoir of the mind. Now that everyone carries a smart phone just hit the mic and record each thought for latter.

Yes, how is it that words come to us and we don\'t have a notepad nearby?
This is so also, for about 500 poems I had in mind for KP, in the genre \'put-downs!\' lol.

I’m not trying to claw pant and puff my way onto high moral or aesthetic ground here, but I do find such terminology as ‘beautiful’ and ‘ugly’ when utilized in a judgmental sense as rather……. irrelevant and somewhat degrading for those on the uncomfortable end of the spectrum.
Stap me vitals, Sir – keep yer uncharitable thoughts in yer head not out, as I do mine…….!

The never ending search for the woman who will satisfy all those dreams. Maybe luck plays a part in it. I certainly don’t think it’s a science:) I found humour here but there again I’m not at all pc. Your final three lines made me laugh. You have probably excluded most of the female availability 😀 Perfection is hard to come across. Have a wonderful Saturday Neville .

To find such a creature would be the end of many quests. Some of us are just damned lucky. A brilliant expose\' of the eternal search. Loved It. - Phil A

And so it is with all the humble. Not particularly Christian but the passage applies \"Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth\" Some of the best at the things they do are the humblest. Nicely written Neville.

I\'m not sure, but I think this is comparing a book to a woman or a woman to a book. One that is \"weathered and worn\" then \"torn\" \"down the middle.\" Maybe an older prostitute\" or \"party girl\" as in \"defiled?\" Yet the words flow, and images are created in the mind of the reader. Mine were of an ancient book and an older woman, but I couldn\'t get to her being, \"torn down the spine.\" Also \"some\" \'Woman\" in the title or \"some\" \"women.\" The word \"some\" influences the plural choice - Phil A

The book of life, no matter how well worn, will be passed from generation to generation, hopefully to be read and cherished. Couldn\'t help but see this. Such a wonderful and thought provoking poem dear friend, take care.

The possibility for many meanings here. Today a well read woman is torn between tradition and feminism, the imagery is spectacular. I remember well tearing pages and folding them to tear a straight line. Down the spine is it her spine of the spine of the book? The holy book defiled, is that society\'s idea of women set by religious history or being true to herself to which she should be a true and devoted follower? Too many questions here my friend maybe it is just simply a great poem

I saw a sailing boat and her once proud mast, sails in tatters. A life well lived. Spoiled by time and inclement weather. A poem which offers differing meanings. Down and almost out but still offering a glimpse of elegance in its dying moments. Would make a fine painting. Happy Friday Neville.

This seemed indeed a love song Neville. But then I think of all poems as a love song to the reader. Maybe not sexual but romantic none the less or the reader would loose interest and drift away. I hear the romantic side of you and that is good.

A thoroughly intriguing write, Neville. Really well done. I write short stories and once wrote a story about a woman who wins the lottery and hires a hitman. Your poem reminded me a little of that. :-)

My husband was a tournament fisherman, so I\'ve heard culling in terms of replacing a smaller fish in your livewell, with a larger one that you\'ve just caught. Could be the larger fish is just waiting for a chance to bite. Couldn\'t resist, lol. Cheeky and oh endearing!
