What year will that be - or approximately? When tuppence was about 50 quid\'s worth today?
I would be a pirate, but I got this parrot on me shoulder, name of Polly; a relative of Fido\'s, never lets me have much \'excitement\'! lol.

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.

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.

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.
