My Fathers Son & Other Important Questions
Fay Slimm. said:

A familiar enquiry at a very sad time whether from sons or from daughters and pathos colours the core of this question with palest sad....... a most moving read Nev............. x

My Fathers Son & Other Important Questions
orchidee said:

Erm, well you still are your fathers son, I would say. We (male) may also be a father ourselves; brother, uncle, grandad; nephew; etc.
I never knew we could be so may things!

My Fathers Son & Other Important Questions
dusk arising said:

A young man\'s question is asked here i believe. For a matured man is already fitting into places, hearts and minds where he is irreplaceable.

I think you penned this to tease us into a wonderful train of though about life and living. Full marks sir!

A very touching write Neville. Time takes all except for the memories that we hold close.

Love is so hard to shelve when time was it glittered with golden dreams --- another tear-jerking read Nev and so clearly revealed that need to note down every nuance to keep and read over again - - it surely takes lots of biros does the sight of a one-time love ........... x

Neville,

Love the title and the message of your poem.
The first time I saw the word ‘Biro’ was in high school in a required reading assignment.
Very interesting.

Stay safe.

Well penned (groan)... Well constable Neville, it\'s all done on video tape/memory chip in the interview room now.

Why does modern technology rob life of romance.... or is it just me?

I hope so too, but I am quite sure there will be many more casualties and that this monster should not be underestimated.... Neville :)

Fay Slimm. said:

Impressive imagery used in the doleful unfinishment of this reflective poem - - love has a habit of ending this way my friend.................

The fragility of love can be so unreal and so misunderstood Neville.

A good write N. Based on fiction or non-fiction?
If fiction - should I meet her?! lol.

Neville said:

Hello DA my fine literary friend.. Many thanks for visiting these words.. I kind off like the fact you felt suspended, I just hope you were not left feeling too frustrated by them, in the absence of a definitive answer, or conclusion.... I like enigmas......Take care and stay well..... Neville

dusk arising said:

I doubt she will answer you with honesty. They like to come across as enigmatic... so be prepared to hear that she doesn\'t like your after-shave any longer.

Interesting read to play with ones mind. I felt left suspended in mid air.... will we see a resolving piece from you?

You\'re being enigmatic now though.

Poetic Dan said:

I followed the jumped, realised those buggers never actually went! They say it\'s never to late but sometimes I wish that maybe I\'d wait!
Who am I kidding I do not like to hesitate!

Fantastic stuff my friend!
Much peace and respect

orchidee said:

You hesitated yourself N? \'He/she who hesitates is lost?!\' True always?
You hesitated listening to me sing? Well, millions do! heehee.

I have always found that I wandering (jumping) into a new path can be good and takes you along a way that adds to your life. Moving on is good.

I\'m game for that freworking of old ones specially my hip
As for diving in without first knowing what lies beneath the surface. No, not me. I guess that means I speak in bleats.
You\'ve drawn a clever comparison between the \"willing sheep\" who a\'wait and weep\' and the :heroes\" who \"wander free.\" Lots to like here. _ Phil A.

This is truly a universal stuggle I think. Definitely leaves a lot to ponder this Sunday Morning, thanks for sharing!

Fay Slimm. said:

An impressive telling of what happens to he or ( she) who hesitates when once decisions are made --- as for me - I wish to be among those who wander freely - -- my thanks to you Nev. most kindly for thoughts to ponder in these few Sunday- lines.

dusk arising said:

Baaaaaaa! Is this a question of when you say \"jump\", I say.... \'after you mate\'.

There are non so blind as those who fell off the 10.000ft cliff two years ago.

Nicely put together and i can see you have set out to confuse those who never bother to read our poetry anyhow.

Wonderful words Neville. There are people out there who do feel like this, it is a shame that some cannot see it and pull them from the brink.

Forsaken
dusk arising said:

One senses the nobility of aging here. The jewel of memories set against uncertainty and challenged frailty of faith in a hereafter.

Deeply sensitive writing from you which will reach the spot with all beyond their middle years.

Forsaken
MendedFences27 said:

Whether \"Forsaken \" in love or in life, she has reached the breaking point of suffering and sees death as a viable alternative. This is dark and moving.
Particularly enjoyed \"like old reptile skin\" and :Disenchanted fantasies\".- Phil A.

A fine write Neville.
Shall I ruin the atmosphere of the poem by saying \'Should I meet her?\' (heehee).
