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.

Falling for Icarus
orchidee said:

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.

Oohh, I know, I clutched at a tree branch. It was rotten. It did not break my faaaaalllllll! Good acting there, innit?! lol.

The Sorriest of Words

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.

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

Times like you so aptly describe are etched in the heart and mind where sorry seems so inadequate. A haunt of a read...............x

Remote
dusk arising said:

Life is so awkward and those television controls so distant and clumsy when you lose the remote.

I agree with the light hearted attitude though. For both ebay and amazon offer a calmer tomorrow.

A sensible way to end a fading affair - - letting it be and enjoying the memories is the better conclusion - a well honed three liner mi amigo.
