Hi Neville,
A powerful good š write.
Age is in the mind.
My father is 81 he thinks he\'s much younger than that.
Keep him safe and protected during lockdown has been a challenge.
Keep writing ā and safe during these challenging times.

No need for filters, we know how you feel. \"Rejection\" seems to be the call of the day. \"Old\" is a matter of taste, like in \"old\" wine, or sight like in how you see things, or sound as in what you listen to, or touch, like in \"That feels good!.\" So, keep your dignity and pride, muddle through, and perhaps another bit of fluff, will blow your way. You\'re always as young as you want to be. - Phil A.

Theory of Endurance
MendedFences27 said:
Life is but a series of changes. Nothing is permanent, including time.
To be used as a measure, time must remain constant, which it does not, in space. But that\'s neither here nor there and irrelevant to your poem.
In your poem it is the comparison that is paramount, one thing against another. No \"maybe\"s about it. and it left me to wonder what is being measured against what? I found the answer,I think, in the title, Theory of Endurance. How long will this relationship last? \"Time and Purpose\" become the governing things to be considered.. A thought provoker to say the least, and thoroughly enjoyable. - Phil A.

conversational style poetry is so under valued, it allows for so much more than a writer\'s skill or brevity to be exemplified, it opens the opportunity for all who read the work to make it entirely their own,
outstanding effort, instinctively compelling and yet - as ever with your work: sumptuously subtle

The ocean draws many people to her.
My wife and I have both spent our entire lives close to it. Now that we are older we are more inland. My Lord it\'s at lest a ten minute drive. LOL We must go there often to restore our sanity. It\'s in the blood of those so afflicted.
This is a great tribute to one such person, who, so it seems, is a true sailor. Born of the sea and still in love with it. A great nurturer just like it. - Phil A.

Once there was a woman, cheap as a penny whistle, men played her like a guitar.
No calloused fingers or thumbs here. Pretty much tone deaf, always have been. Yet, my children all play instruments, sax, clarinet. oboe. Did you finally master the art? Seems that a musical ear and poets don\'t mix.Did any ever play? Like the way you presented this one, like strings on a guitar. - Phil A.

Yes I also recall those bygone days of sea food stalls and seaside boxes of crustaceans ready for the pot - you forgot the winkles which we used to gather at Southend and bring back for Mum to prepare - vinegar and a pin - the memories.

Those were the days.
I remember we went down to Ramsgate one day with the family. On the way back we stopped in a park to have a picnic. We had bought a jar of whelks at the seaside and opened them. My Uncle Herb started chewing one but was struggling so he took his false teeth out put a whelk between them and said \"Now eat the bloody thing!\"
