Provoking indeed. With such deepness and with such few words has opened up a whole new lot of worlds to dwell upon for people who read this bewildering piece.

But have u ever dabbled in the rings of saturn? Or the perverse pleasures of Uranus.
Best sampled before one is accompanied by an obligatory white stick.

I keep reading, but can\'t get into your mindset......
Blindness for sure, if stare directly at the sun,
but then 😟😟😟

Your write for once mystifies me - - I can see the sad state before blindness sets in but those final two lines - well please educate me mon ami - - or am I so naive as to miss the obvious....... x Fay

Those memories both good and bad will be with you although they may be altered with time.
The line \"Today’s rust was yesterdays chrome\" was very telling.

Some unique phrasing and more than good rhyming in this strong reminder Nev. - - Once an item though now rusted memory resurrects many moments to chew over again. Love the pathos in those two last lines ........ Fay

The great things about memories are that they are stuff you did not stuff you didn\'t do.
A full and active life is going to give the reward of memories. Time takes away the pain of the bad bits fortunately.
If you waded in (and i bet you did) then you\'ll have memories. If you sat on the sidelines well, thats hardly memorable - unless its 1966 world cup final.... \'they think it\'s all over?\' - NEVER
(see what Golfinch commented on my \'beautiful pastime\' piece... he got you and me mixed up)
Inspiring writing and message.

Starkly true these informed words my friend - yet I see its message in its finalé - - that despite our predicament - \" misery is entirely
optional\" - - a wise and helpful conclusion to ponder Nev. and my thanks to you for sharing it.

Wow, plenty of food for thought. I read it all then went back to the start and already my mind is overloaded. Bit early so I\'ll come back for lunch ;)
Great stuff

The Long Drop
Suresh said:
I AM FEAR, THAT WAS TAUGHT TO KEEP YOU SAFE, AND NOW HAS BECOME AN INTREGAL PART OF YOUR LIFE.
Boy, you piled up our fears, one on top of another - thou poetically

Your first and last line takes the reader in a certain direction, just to be confused by the rest. In certain cities, like Pasadena, Californis,mint,mistreat art has been elevated to an annual event - though temporary it leaves a lasting memory, just as your poem

Our pain is the same as that of other species on a loss of one of their own kind.
When the loss occurs frequently, the pain becomes short lived.
I used to loathe the scavengers till I realized what a critical part they play.
Your poem moves one from dispicable, to survival to tragedy in a seemless event - truly captivating

Wow! - To have seen this must have been a horror. What a great expressional mix of death and crows. Must all horrific events be attended by crows? Loved the way you kept to a surprise ending. it was a pleasant setting...until. Great bit of writing. - Phil A.

Poor train driver. Traumatised for life. And SHE has fallen asleep in the arms of her next unsuspecting conquest.
It\'s a porter\'s life in many ways. Quietly sampling the baggage of life for small reward but rich in his ability to move between cases.

Catching Flies
Poetic Dan said:
This a hard read as my son thinks he has problems and is told by many that he goes and they are here to help him cope.
He comes to me and I\'ve never used these words, he may well struggle to use his analytical brain but he has never had a problem having a outstanding ability to use his body in activities with no hesitation.
Many I know say they could never skate or run and climb trees, but yet from the beginning he found it breeze.
To judge us all the same is insanity, as same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Much peace and respect
You are a legend in your own right

A frightening read Neville, it is such a tremendous shame that people are so ill with those sort of problems.
This self harming problem is all over the place. I used to be the Chaplain at a Sea Cadet Station and a couple of the young girls used to self hate there, I could talk to them and listen to them but I am not sure it helped as they would not admit why they did it.

A very poignant poem, describing some horrific scenes which, I assume, only get worse. It takes great courage to have to deal with this every day. Someday, as they make great strides in understanding the human brain, some of these conditions will be treatable in a more humane way. Thanks just for being there, and portraying it so well in your poem. -Phil A.
