The title itself raised my curiosity about what follows and wow what a woman who once tasted is never forgotten by the many....... a most clearly alluring tale my friend. .................x

Deffo must meet her then! I know it will be all too much for me though. Fido trying to stop me seeing her, but I put him out the back garden - fenced all round, he can\'t get out! lol

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.

Memories of yesteryear happenings poemed so clearly in readable slang reminded me of screams from boiled crabs and young tears of anger when city-folk laughed - - I so wanted to free them and took years to like crabmeat - c\'est la vie eh ? - -- you paint the scene perfectly Nev...........x

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!\"

Fallen Leaves Behind
dusk arising said:

As will we all be once our day is passed and no longer out on a limb... the gutter awaits!

Pinned to the school wall for a lessons interest.... to fade and fall once again.... desecrated..... move along...... it\'s worms and caterpillars next week.

dusk arising said:

There is something light hearted and youthful about frekkles regardless of a ladies age. The contrast of tanned and untanned borderline so arousing on intimate revelation.
Well..... works for me anyway!

Love the instant familiarity you place in your reader with these insightful snatches of what is so easily taken for granted. It\'s as if you pluck the fruit from the tree and say \"hey, actually look at this will you\".

wonderful, the last two stanzas are some of my favourite I have read on MPS,
quirky, full of jest and winking phrases, but also a respectful tone which adds a classy touch

Fay Slimm. said:

Ah - - big smiles for resurrecting those intimate freedoms of sunny yesterdays Nev. - your verse neatly freckled with memories allures and stretches this reader\'s momentary blush of such recollections too..............

Oops, she had freckles where the sun don\'t shine. Well, not quite that place.
If I met her, would I discover she had freckles? Ya never know! lol. And am I talking out of that place where the sun don\'t shine?!

Fallen Leaves Behind
MendedFences27 said:

They say you pay a price for beauty, but I doubt they had leaves in mind. As gorgeous as they are, once fallen, they become an ugly nuisance. Maybe those are human traits as well? A clever treatment on leaves. - Phil A.

Fallen Leaves Behind
Fay Slimm. said:

I truly admire the metaphor you use in this solemn verse Nev. - grieving the wayside fallen is human and needed but facing the whys and wherefores is yet again intriguingly left to the reader - - another treat for my favourite list...............

Ye autumn may well be around the corner but it is my favourite time of the year when you see Natures Artwork in its true and magnificent glory.

All Moonshine truly is , is reflected Sunshine, but the folklore it\'s charged with is so much more. From lunacy, to control over, fertility, luck, the wind. illnesses, and business, when all it really controls are tides. Your personifications of both the Sun and Moon bring new light to the changing of the day. - Great One - Phil A.

Oh for the ability write short-line gems such as this one my friend. Full of engaging personification and loaded with need for the read to last longer I sit amazed at your talent for showing that less is more. Thanking you muchly Nev. for another example from which to learn.

Nicely spoken Nev. No matter where you go these days, you see the effects. As for doilies, they serve no useful purpose. They\'re terrible as a coaster, awful as a place mat, and totally dangerous as a pot holder. Well, truly enjoyed your poem. - Phil A.

You pen a sad picture of today\'s strange state my literary friend. Another piece to ponder on what has overtaken our once fearless race.

L. B. Mek said:

the only other poem I recall using the word doilies (or doily to be precise), is a poem by Elizabeth Bishop titled \'Filling Station\':
https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-2931
that your writing continuously reminds me of some of my favourite poems and Poet\'s, is a testament to the relatable quality and insight you write with

L. B. Mek said:

brilliant demonstration of how to instil effortless flow without using the usual poetic tools of form, rhyme etc
this reminds me of a poem by John Brehm, titled \'at the poetry reading\'
