And then she bit me!

For me the blackbirds evening song takes some beating.

As i have said before, i\'m a sucker for the short punchy meaningful pieces. This one ticks all the boxes. Delightful.

Fay Slimm. said:

These words have been true for many a century - - - - making moves on behalf of others whether lives may be lost or not - politics controls whatever the country - - the point well made Neville........

Most definitely agree. Dear Josef Stalin killed more than Adolf Hitler and neither would have got my vote. But there again many will be pointing a finger at today\'s government for their actions/lack of actions in this covid scenario.

dusk arising said:

So many out there paying lip-service in so many ways. A feature of today\'s society.

But when we see so many following wealthy organised religions (google how wealthy is the roman catholic church for example) who put such stead in a book which states \"it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven\" is it any wonder?

I really like the format as it builds in drama. Love the question contained.

Fay Slimm. said:

Clever this lead-up to saying goodbye to a dying romance but trying to get in touch seems impossible at times like these - love those last lines Nev - - such an original take on how to go separate ways.

MendedFences27 said:

A story well spoken. The book of love is like a novel written in pain and sorrow. The main character... has none. Her foil is the fool who believes in reconciliation. Fool me once/fool me twice etc. sadly enjoyed by me. - Phil A.

Once that book is read and no surprises are left it is the time to select a new one.

Fay Slimm. said:

Brilliant metaphors used here to clear the decks of an un-lovely ending to a once love affair - your words meld like glue to the leaves of this reader\'s memory -- - such powerful stuff Nev.

Times certainly change when u become able to attach an index to her text.
The novel has to be thoroughly read from cover to cover with full familiarity before such index can be appended.
The reading of course, is the pleasureable trip of discovery for both the reader and the book.

Really enjoyed this metaphor spin.

Fear of Haiku
Goldfinch60 said:

Good fun write Neville.
I write haikus, senryus and tankas and have done for long while but try to keep them in the sense they were meant to be taken.
I also write goldikus and wordikus if I want to do something different and have any type of meaning.

Fear of Haiku
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Evening NEVILLE ~ Its not the HAIKU or SENRYU or TANKAS (5 7 5 7 7) Im scared of ~ in fact they can be good fun and long Poems are not appreciated on MSN ! What scares ME is that even on a freewheelin* - easy goin* - come-day go-day SITE like MPS there are Purists ~ WHO if you lable a POEM a HAIKU (5 7 5 & about Nature & Seasons etc ?) or a SENRYU (5 7 5 about People & emotions etc ?) they will inform you that its either wrong Syllable countwise or Subjectwise etc etc. This can put budding Poets off and they leave MPS and give up Poetry. I notice that much Published Poetry in Languages other than English dont follow the 5 7 5 syllabus rule so it seems like a *Free for All* out there ~ thanks for sharin* & carin*

Peace & Joy to You & Yours
Yours BR IAN & ANGELA !

Goldfinch60 said:

No it cannot go with you and it can be left behind but that\'s just money, the best thing that you must be remembered for though is your love for friends and family - that will always be treasured.
