Suresh said:

I too have enjoyed the Fairmont several times, and the regality and pageantry is once represented.
Thanks for the memories.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your words, but I also wanted to understand the depth behind them. I looked up the meaning behind all the Japanese words and symbolisims, and that only made the poem that much more interesting.

See how all that smoking has aged me...
I forget what came before that....

This kind of behavior will kill you! You also know it\'s habit forming or addictive. There will be life-altering consequences, not to mention the cost. So if you have to chose which to lose, just keep on smoking.
A great big chuckle from me. - Phil A.

If I read more into this, it will bring on a hefty swoon. Fido will chuck buckets of cold water on me! lol.
Did ya know Mary (Hopkin)? Not personally of course - you know her songs?! \'Twas about the time I stopped watching \'Top of the Pops\' I reckon.

A wonderful description of striking a match on a well worn matchbox\'s sandpaper strip.

It takes such insight to see the poetry such a mundane task, now another fragment of the past. Similar to my sex life really.

Wonderful words Neville, when I hit sixty I did start over again in a newer life where my work was arranged so that I only worked two days per week, so yes sixty is a special age, (64 was better when I retired completely!)
May you brother live his new life to the full.

Amid happy feasting and celebration your write provided yet one further learning curve for this humble reader -- Japanese custom when reaching 60 means lots of ritual before yummy rice cake so I believe - - words learnt add to the intrigue penned into the rest of the interesting verse - - DOMO ARIGATOU to you mi amigo...... x

Upon the Morrow
MendedFences27 said:

Though subtle, I find this sad, but with a sense of hope. If that hope is for an afterlife reunion. \"Bunting \" makes me think of a wartime loss . Perhaps they will be together in some spiritual way.
I enjoyed this poem and the way you\'ve subtly described the passing and the sorrow felt by those left behind. Very descriptive and yet not ponderous. I liked it.- Phil A.

I told him to stay about 93 million miles away from that sun (distance Earth to Sun) but he never listened! lol.

Falling for Icarus
Fay Slimm. said:

Flying too near the sun whatever the reason results in melt-down where love drowns -- a comforting last line shows someone has reached out with understanding. This write touches the heart Nev.

Like the racing driver who swerved to avoid a child and fell out of bed i sense someone flying too close to a son here.

Why not indeed - - reaching for light can divert the fall. Good advice in these lined my friend.

It can be such a sad word when more should be said and done.

The Sorriest of Words
MendedFences27 said:

\"Sorry\" is just another word, but so are \"sincere\" and \"disingenuous.\" Sometimes your \"sorriest of words\" falls off lips like a lead balloon, and less frequently it delivers at least some solace. It\'s when nothing is said that causes the greatest concern.
A self-written poem with the weight of empathy clinging to its intent. Perhaps your words will cause many to pause and consider.
Well done, Neville - Phil A.

A fine write Neville.
\'E\'ermore\' is another sorry word - well, a \'sad\' word in the sense of boring! lol.

The Sorriest of Words
Poetic Dan said:

Bam and ain\'t that the truth when we forget that action speak louder that words! Our Internet feels like a burden of a curse, when they can\'t cope force remains the first...

Great work my friend!

Much peace and respect
