A fine write Neville. Yep, someone wanted to know the way to Mars. I said \'Take the No.11 bus; get off at the third cloud on your right; the bus destination indicator will say \'Cuckoo Land\'. lol.

An eloquent write Neville. So he heard me singing in the feral choir? He would have dashed out straightway in torment! heehee.

This read leaves me breathless with admiration for linguistic word-craft from its title to the revealing last line. First class writing again Neville.

Dance
Suresh said:

I envision an abandoned place where shadows dance hauntingly, with a stagnant pool of still and dark waters.
Very enjoyable piece.

What you up to in that forest?! Don\'t fall on me like a ton of bricks, but that happened on a similar comment I made to a poet. That\'ll teach me to be too familiar! lol.

So clear your amorous tale I feel I am on that mill-pool bank and dancing in between deep shadows - a lovely first read of my day dear Neville.

Dance
Poetic Dan said:

Fantastic! I\'ve had a song call dance monkey in my head all morning, now I\'m going to have to play it!

Really enjoyed what felt like in and out of the dark and light, the dance of life!

Zen Hunting
Fay Slimm. said:

Growing accustomed to pleasure of bliss sounds like the monk though dis-robed had found his Nirvana - -and I agree the wait for enlightenment can be better endured with an aesthetic mate - - your poetry Nev describes life so clearly with all its surprises - yet throws in a slice of intrigue which I like. Good last read of my day so Bon nuit mon ami and sleep well ...........x from Fay

Whale Whispering
Suresh said:

The docile behemoths, yet graceful and a delight to watch. Yes, their abrupt leap from the oceanic depth, and the thunderous flop on its surface, all gracefully done. Their whispers traveling thousands of miles - to fetch another of their kind.

Love has no best before Nville it grows sweeter like a fine wine...
Your poetry gets better and better all the time this is sublime

As our age increases our reaction slow and become stationery but the mind climbs on to the joys of the passed which gives us succour within our aging minds.

Age has a way of putting us in a catatonic state, and leaves us a cauldron of memories

The pathos in these tender lines Nev. tells of past yesteryear-embraces with such haunting words - - a beguiling write which touches this reader\'s heart.

your take on these words is so much appreciated my friend.. I just love the way words can be variously interpreted... and no... not a hundred miles off mark.. not by a long chalk..... Neville

Thats the stuff dreams are dreamed in. A somehow distant \'cotton wooley\' recollection of what happened in REM sleep..... eludes us for we dream in delta and theta waves (i think).
If i am 100 miles off the mark - apologies. I felt the whole of your piece today was alike attempting, on waking, to return to a lovely dream.

There Are No Graves
Goldfinch60 said:

Very powerful write Neville. I have never been to Auschwitz but those who I know who have been say that it changes their life, such an austere place that leaves them full of grief and in some cases anger that this was allowed to happen.

There Are No Graves
kevin browne said:

Excellent expression of obvious deep thought about a situation of silence, yet still, the loudness comes within your words in the fascinating write. Good tribute to the there is no place at all where there are no graves.

Before We Die
Suresh said:

To quote one of my brevity\'s that defines this work beautifully -

You wove the words innocently, yet left the meaning exposed

There Are No Graves
Suresh said:

I see your quill got the teardrop for its dry ink.
Mans cuelty towards its kind has existed throughout existence, but it reached new heights in these concentration camps.
What\'s worse is that none of this has had any impact, for millions are still slaughtered every year.

Plaster your poem in everyone\'s mind, and hope for change.

There Are No Graves
Andrew Charles Forrest said:

This made me sit back and applaud Neville.
It made me shiver at he scale of your contemplation of this haunting event.
I Can feel its chill

This sums up so well my memories of this dreadful \'monument\' to man\'s worst evils. Super work Neville.

Very melancholy and beautiful write

There Are No Graves
dusk arising said:

I knew this was Auschwitz as soon as i began to read it.
No there are no physical gravestones. Instead we all carry an internal gravestone for the human beings, individuals, people, families, children, babies, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, fathers... people like all of us here who were each once more than a single figure in a total of MILLIONS murdered by this sick regime. Each with their own aspirations, humour, art, sufferings, pride, loyalties, love,, kindness, caring, human fkkng beings.
Yet it happens again on a smaller scale

Very sombre and extremely powerful dark writing from you today. Perfectly fitting for the subject. Raises strong feelings.

Ache
dusk arising said:

Aches which nag you and only time will heal are the weight of life\'s unfairness sometimes. Personally i try to shrug them off with the selfish consolation that, somewhere, someone probably felt/feels the same about me.

Your piece is compact and powerful saying so much to, and for, those who empathise.
