Metaphor or plain hard boiled reality? Keeps flipping for me... Can appreciate both, so thanks.

Fay Slimm. said:

Much food for thought in this little gem. After the light is gone unclear may follow yet a window opens for those who gather to face another morrow, to welcome its treasure and wait for what they do not know - - needing no more than to watch for that glowing smile. Positivity in a poetic nutshell my friend.

dusk arising said:

There will always be a beacon light for eyes which see a future.
A light which those who turn, looking back and dwell upon yesterdays storm, cannot yet see.
Though reflection, within the light of tomorrow, gains us wisdom.

There you see, your pieces often make me dwell, and look beyond the words, to seek a pearl of wisdom condensed therein.

These are words of the richness of maturity. Reassuring closeness of familiarity and rewarding warmth of mutual pairing.
Your well chosen words bring forth the sensual with a grace.

Dove said:

Such beauty your words, here I have windfallen oranges,
mostly half eaten oranges that Squirrels drop upon the ground
Tiny little peels strewn all over the place

Yet your vision almost romantic feel,

Loved it

Your work is definitely something to be admired... Poetry in its most poetic form. Pleases all of the senses.

dusk arising said:

Fallen fruit indeed. For our fields have not seen the fruit of our youth fallen for many centuries but an orchard strewn with fallers will always bring to mind the disgraceful deathly export of our fruit to flanders field and the like.

Beauty is a reflection of the souls sorrow.... amplified in me with your fine words today.

really like your last stanza and the \'feel - tone\' of the voice in this write, has a sense of \'mellowed despair\': an apt description of 2020 as a whole I think

Drowning in your fruitiest description of apple harvest reminds me of times I did just that and found troubles melted away with the glorious scent of fallen lushness.......... a great first read of my morning dear Nev.........x

Very good words about an horrendous situation where so many innocents died, if only we had learned from that time.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

This is such a cinematic portrayal of what we can only assume to be the horrific realities of war. You\'ve done a wonderful job with this. Very impactful.

Madness isn\'t. And had they not been mown down by machine gun fire what mayhem had they been induced to afflict upon reaching enemy lines.

Other nations were motivated by bygone despots, dictators and kings..... they too mourn their losses.

And of course the innocents, victims of genocide and war.

All we need is love.

These thoughts produced by reading your moving piece. All the more moving for the beauty above in your quiet, still and starless night.

Meanwhile - I remember it well, from The Boer Wars - I was in them, being very old!
I never took part though. I thought they were in Australia, so I headed there. Doh!

Razor-sharp versing of nightly horrors when war blocked all quiet - your ink paints scenes we should never forget of men whose lives or senses never returned again to a homeland. Shame on those conniving such sacrifice and thanks my friend for this needed reminder.
