Thanks for sharing NEVILLE for many (often Teens) Self-harm is their only way of gaining attention ~ a *cri de coeur !* Alas often it is *The most unkindest cut of all* often with tragic results ! I (BRIAN) teach mostly 16\'s to 25\'s the Age group in which self-harm peaks ! In 1 to 1 councelling (I am aqualified Councellor ~ as is Angela) they say *I just wanted someone to listen to ME* ! Fortunately (so far) I have never lost a Student ~ and they see me as a Neutral Listening Ear ! We don\'t have Parents Evenings in College ! We treat all our Students as *Responsible Adults*. You have opened Pandoras Famous Box !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙

This brought home to the sentiments of my Bi-polar brother who has attemted suicide on many occassions. I pray for him everyday that the next day he stays with us. You have written some reality which a lot of peple are troubled with. This dis-order needs more attention and suggestions of how to make these types of people look on the brighter side to life. You brought tears to my eyes reading this poem...

Sad but familiar - harming of self in some measure seems to come from too hasty an entrapment to love or lust............ a powerful piece of writing Neville.

OOhh, I\'m all faint now. I\'ve heard some horror stories. \'Cutting up\' happens, but I would rather cut up a joint of meat.
I\'m all of a shudder now. I hate the theme really - hate hearing details, that is.
A cry for help? Yet desperately so.

Ouch! It is truly tragic to hear of young people self harming for whatever reason. I have to admit that i cannot get my head around understanding the phenomenon.
A really powerful, punchy and disturbing piece from you today Neville.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks NEVILLE ! A very evocative title and a Perfect Pome ! This week Brother Boris has been touring the Hospitals and telling the Staff & Residents all they need is WARM BUTTERED TOAST ! Personally its a throwback to traditional fare in Public Schools & Oxford Colleges ~ and a bid to save the NHS 95% of its Catering Bill ! However I agree with him *Hot Buttered Toast* is indeed *CIBUS DEI !* TOAST without LOVE is just scorched bread ! Toast is a Generational thing ! WAGS make Toast ~ Mums make BETTER Toast ~ Grannies make the BEST Toast ~ AMEN.
Blessings & Peace & Granny Toast
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡

A toast in a country bar always takes me back.
Seldom does the landlord let me back.

A lovely write N.
Meanwhile - Doh! I was in the wrong field. All I smelt was manure wafting across on the breeze. heehee.
Just a fun thing - nothing deep or psychological to read into this, compared to your \'field\'.

Dear N
Please accept my deepest sympathies on your very personal loss. My mother passed away last year.
May your words be a true reflection of your mother, Mary\'s, resting place, and her star shine be the brightest, as she lives on, on the heavenly stage.

A fluttering chest and a heart that dances could be time to see the Doc. but knowing why it is again happening shows a love that does not give up - a delicately worded verse of time flying and thanks for the read dear ageless friend..........

I can\'t hold a candle to this kind of verse sir!
Though i did have concerns over your hitherto masked menopausal transsexuality until i read your author\'s comment.
Next time i pass the girls high school i shall carefully listen for juvenile coo-coo-ing.
Certainly had me scratching my smiling head today.

I no longer have a plot of land, thus all I can do is........
but that\'s OK too
no acre, just ache
Throughly enjoyed this one
P.S.
I was granted a wish to tweet-
In my excitement a typo error-
ache instead of acre
Well now I gotta live it- Cest la vie
