Tongue in cheek and thereby excused for rousing a saucy and sassy smirk in concluding, despite the sentiment being so seemingly dour, shall we say? Nothing like the waste of sich words, the recipient unable to realize until it is far too late how very valuable they were. Charming and beautifully rendered with a touching poignancy and suitably dainty imagery. Thank you for sharing.

\"Fine words,\" like fine wine must struggle to attain their sweetness. Then, the work begins, to sort them out, to refine them, to contain them within a chosen framework and atmosphere. Then, they remain quiet until the correct time for their consumption. I raise my glass to you for this vintage poem. - Phil A.

KP and trouts aside, here’s looking at you Orchi, 😂 this is a mighty fine poem, Neville! Seriously, not a waste of words in my book, and I love how “I love you” is nestled in there without ever saying it. Not sure if this is a current love or a former one, but this poem delivers, my friend! It certainly, regardless of the words, was NOT a waste of time. 🌹👏 Bravo!

Never (or is that neva?) put it in writing - You never know what some jumped up legal eagle might be able to make of it.
(Why is it that these pieces of yours end up in your blue volumes without commentary, Neville?????)😇

Love the feeling of profound longing and perhaps a sense of admission that if the words were right then one might have had his dreams fullfilled. Advanced apologies for misinterpretation

Oh Neville how many discarded love poems I have written. This speaks right to the heart of it. Some seem too serious some too full of levity and others just plain corny so the floor is littered with paper.

An apocalyptic scenario from which there is no surviving. No one left to plant trees. Power-hungry \"A___holes,\" who wish to rule the world, threatening us as a means of causing fear. I say let\'s call their bluff. There are but 10-20 of these people and billions of us. We take them out one or more at a time and then abolish all of their toys. Then we can live in peace. - Phil A.

Hello Neville, as much as I love trees and wished we all planted more instead of concreting, as they do so much good for the environment, they aren’t going to help if we suffer an nuclear attack are they 🙂. The green agenda seems to be going full war head at the expense of other stuff. We need our defense system firmly in place, as a deterrent. How’s that bunker of yours coming along? Have a great day and don’t work too hard.

Speaking of trees...it seems to me that the seasonal conflagrations which occur alternately north and south have already pushed us past the tipping point, Neville. That and all the other deleterious possibilities you so kindly point out means, from where I stand (or lie) we are really in the shit.

There is a Green Drinks group that I know. Sounds a ghastly name for a group - what are they drinking that is green? But it means they are discussing \'green\' matters, being eco-warriors, etc.

Hello my friend. I read the first stanza and thought only an idiot would think that way. Then I read the rest and had a very interesting conversation with my grandson who shared his thoughts on your poem. There are many ways in showing strength, a man with his finger on the button has none. And men who cry have a mountain of compassion. So much here in one little poem. Have a great day.

This poem resonates - ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of unreasonable logic. . What starts out as hope soon becomes finessed into a hegemony of temptation, leaving only a sense of dread and the possibility of a new beginning.

Thanks for challenging the restrictive norms of masculinity and the irrational behaviors people exhibit to conform to them. The poem’s critique of the suppression of emotions and the societal admiration of the \"broken man\" while highlighting the destructive impact of these behaviours. I think the term in vogue is “toxic masculinity,” or some such fancy phrase. Thanks for encouraging a more compassionate understanding of oneself and others, emphasizing the importance of emotional honesty and healing. That’s a world where we can all be truly men in our own skin!

I\'m not good at unfolding meanings of cryptic poems. The reply from the poet may be: \'No, I didn\'t mean that at all!\'. KP\'s howling at the moon - she\'s half-werewolf. A werewolf with botox. lol.
