True Colours
Fay Slimm. said:

Colours though hidden will change to show truth. The bleed of our real selves so poetically expressed Nev as exposure exudes from your accusative words - - with more than a nod of agreement from me............ :)

orchidee said:

A thoughtful write Neville.
Erm, I not quite got the hang of it - I\'m placing strategic goodbyes - here a goodbye, there a goodbye. I sound like Old MacDonald on his farm! You seen Old Mac lately? I will shut up now! lol.

Strategic Goodbyes
Fay Slimm. said:

You create such scenes of emotive saga with this ballad of strategic goodbyes - - how many times fate draws curtains on previous endings as beaches cover poignant memories - - -slowly your lines sketch pictures of long ago helpless experience left as dead with no going back. So cleverly intriguing again Nev.

Not only do i hear that chill wind blowing through your words but i can feel it across my back and it brings a shudder to my easter monday evening.
I\'m unsure of what i have read and the meaning therein but it\'s effect was quite pronounced.

It is a dark piece and today i don\'t want to pry.

Once again your talent lifts off the page with effect. Could have done without the shudder.

The return makes up for all that unwanted distance my friend - waste well maybe - but time has its reasons methinks................ x

Not Quite Out of the Blue
Goldfinch60 said:

There is an opinion that this virus was created deliberately to remove the weak and the old codgers like me from the world so somebody planned this.
The one thing that seems to be coming out of this is that many people are becoming more helpful towards others, I hope this continue and the world will be come a much better and friendlier place to live in.

Not Quite Out of the Blue
dusk arising said:

Strangely Dean Koontz in a 1980/90 novel predicted a virus eminating from wuhan in china would sweep the world with devastating effect in early 2020.... (google it)

I didnt see it coming but we have been tempting fate haven\'t we as the so called western educated world with our clever capitalist led ways of life. Each of us comfortably numb to certain realities.
Fear is now an everyday experience for us all... we do not know where we are going with this in our relaxed society. We can hardly look to a neat and tidy end to this as appears to be happening in china for we are far from comparable to their authoritarian regeime.

orchidee said:

We (all of us?) are going to require even more of the PM and Co., when he recovers, I suspect - going through his own crisis at present.
I don\'t have much opinion of the political side.
Do your daughter and partner have \'temporary\' PPE? Thinking of you all.

The Eleventh Hour
Fay Slimm. said:

Many eleventh hours make escapees quake with what appears next and you hit the nail firmly with the last couplet my friend. A beguiling read to be read again.......... hence into my list of faves this goes.

The Eleventh Hour
dusk arising said:

Now look here Noah, I told you that bloody boat would get stuck in the lock.
You sure know how to write intriguing pieces.... a sure recipe to get me re-reading several times.

I\'m left feeling i just skimmed the plot of six wonderful novels. I take my hat off to ya.

And then she bit me!

For me the blackbirds evening song takes some beating.

As i have said before, i\'m a sucker for the short punchy meaningful pieces. This one ticks all the boxes. Delightful.

So very true Neville, just look at what Churchill did BEFORE WW2.

Dont Kid Yourself
Fay Slimm. said:

These words have been true for many a century - - - - making moves on behalf of others whether lives may be lost or not - politics controls whatever the country - - the point well made Neville........
