The Logic of Fools
PoeticBiscuit said:
We can only ever choose to forget history, though it’ll never change. The past may be full of hard times but we use them to remind us of our shortcomings and to no do them again. Great write Neville.

Nelson is perched about 200 feet up, I believe. We could hire a crane!
If there are hateful monuments, why didn\'t people think of tearing them down long ago?
It doesn\'t achieve much though.

I know where this is coming from of course. Not so long ago there were moves to rename waterloo station, trafalgar square etc because it \'upset\' some of our fellow europeans to be reminded how they had been defeated.
So here we are again but not for the same reasons.
Oddthough that we seemed to rejoice when the crowds did the same to statues of saddam hussein and gadaffi.
Excellent provokative writing on current matters.

Mascara Daze
FineB said:
Hello Neville,
A very superb write.
Every woman has her beauty essential.
I\'m not a mascara person.
I\'m more of an eyeliner and eyeshadow lady with No7 face powder and blusher skilfully applied of course.
Keep writing and safe during these challenging times.

The destructive actions of a mindless few spoil the message of those who seek to bring attention to their genuine and worthy issues. This great write makes the point so well.

Hi Neville,
A very good write.
As I read it. Lord Kitchener kept on popping up in my mind with the iconic poster.

We shall be saying this till we fade away and the glory of war will continue to eat society and leave its vengence trails.
A fine post today Neville and i am tempted to recount my postings on this heartfelt subject. No doubt November will see a plethera of such but anytime is a good time to remember. But we learn too late in life to save so many good souls.

Good write Neville.
War is no laughing matter, but in my \'meanwhile\' times - Ohh, I remember me call-up to the war - the Boer Wars, that is! I\'m very old. lol.
Yet true - in a church magazine, a colonel-type guy wrote of a not-too-distant relative from the Boer Wars. I never told ya more than a few of the congregation are aged about 90 or more, but that can\'t be helped. It\'s a mainly elderly group there.

New ironic meaning to the song \"I\'ll be Home for Christmas\"! Thanks for providing some sobering food for thought. For thinking people, the society\'s fawning over the military creates real challenges... how to be respectful of individuals and an organization designed to \"protect\" us and willing to take great risks... in a culture that is all too ready to use force to address international crises and in which way too many resources are used to support the military-industrial complex. You reminded me that we are still in them days.

Ah yes, Maltesers... I remember her well. Attracted by her curves accentuated by her dark box. That smoothness upon the tongue melting into sweet decay and finally her collapse upon my tongue..... ah yes.... such sweet memories you have evoked here.

A refreshing conception of tastes your pen makes here Nev and compares so well with that special aftertaste of slowly made love which once sampled deserves to be given a poetic tribute like this.... you are a master at written intrigue and very readable introspection.

You\'ll be OK then. The Good Book itself says that the mustard seed is the smallest of seeds, yet grows into the greatest of plants, where even birds nest in the branches.
I thought you meant the big C - Christmas. But it\'s not to be mentioned this early in the year! lol.

Mascara Daze
jarcher54 said:
Such a sweet capture of a fleeting moment... I had a lady friend who was a bit of an amateur watercolorist... after her death, her daughter let me select a painting from a few more or less cast off or less impressive works. I chose a still life that features, not roses or apples or a rustic copper kettle, but a few somewhat scattered items typically found on a lady\'s dressing table... a lipstick, a mirror, a comb, and some makeup and perfume jars and a mascara brush. I imagine her all done up to start her day (she was a professional in a mostly male field) leaving these ordinary things somewhat carelessly behind. Your little poem reminded me of how she must have smiled a quick smile of satisfaction stealing one last look at herself in the hallway mirror as she bustled out to her day.
