For The Sake of Poetry
orchidee said:

A fine write Nev. I was gonna write a poem: \'Oh, for the sake of...\' or \'Oh for the love of...\'
Aww, why did they suggest \'For the love of God, or for the love of me ear-drums, no more singing from me\'?! heehee.
Where\'s the purple tablets?

In the sprin of justifying a love bound attraction to this kilted girly sounding so beautiful and rare. Graet write, Nev and you never let us down with the pen you hold. Nice work...

Bedroom Walls & Borrowers
dusk arising said:

In my trade i have lifted many a floorboard Put my hand into dark unknown places which have not seen the light of day for years - thank goodness for navy blue knickers and linoleum.

Your bedroom walls must have witnessed many a romp compared to my woodchip surrounds.

Great entertaining writing, romancing the stone walls.

Bedroom Walls & Borrowers
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks for sharing NEVILLE ~ Something which I (Brian) can relate to ! I love rooms with *Old Stone Walls* and have stayed in several in my time. We all leave some of our DNA (Destination Note Alert !) wherever we lay our Heads. We leave Our Presence for them to sense and they in their turn leave theirs ! My experience is that when I sleep in an Antique Room in my slumber I always hear voices and see spectres moving through the Walls ~ the reminder of previous occupants. However they are never tangible always ephemeral ~ SPOOKY. Warner Hotels (UK) have some excellent old Bedrooms one can stay in ~ at your own risk !

Thanks for scaring !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours B & A πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™

A fine write N. I don\'t know any wenches, whores, or milk maids. Should I get to know some? I said - I only popped in for a pint of milk - that\'s my \'excuse\' (or should I go back to sleep?! lol).

A strong write Neville. I too cannot understand why it happens to the young. When I was Chaplain to the Sea Cadets one of the young ladies self harmed but she would not talk about it with me.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

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

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 πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘

A toast in a country bar always takes 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\'.
