The Making of An Appetite
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, there’s a playful sensuality running through this…mirror reflections, sunlight on skin, and that sudden burst of appetite for life again. The imagery feels warm and vivid, but it’s the closing line that ties it together so well. Desire and vitality wrapped in a smile. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written. Your poem uses the metaphor of appetite, both literal and figurative, to express the speaker\'s feelings towards another person. It juxtaposes sensuality with the imagery of food, emphasizing the intensity of attraction and the transformative effect that love can have on a person\'s outlook.

Neville, this made me smile… sensual and cheeky, yet written with that unmistakable poetic touch. The sauna imagery and that ivy line really anchor the moment. I’ll certainly be purchasing Falling With Icarus & Other Words in Progress when it releases. Supporting Brain Tumour Research through poetry is a beautiful thing. God bless you, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Strategy: wait for possibly one more comment and then fill this space with \'As Above\' - that should cover it. But as the world keeps on turning, I\'m not quite sure when I will be in this spot once more... So if orchi can get away with \'good write\' I will - just this once... Good write Neville.

This seems an ode a call for one last fling before the curtain falls. It is a beautiful expression of passion and lust for life in recognition of its ending. A life almost complete lacking that one last sip of wine when one can say I have done it all and the last piece falls into the puzzle the picture complete. Lovely and a fave

This has the calm, lethal patience of something wild and untouchable.
The tension builds slowly, like watching shadows wait for their moment.

Neville, that detail of rakia and apricots stayed with me. The way taste becomes part of the memory gives the whole scene a warmth that feels very real. It’s a small moment, yet it carries a whole story within it. Nicely written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Neville, many words have been expended over time here and elsewhere in attempts to differentiate between animals and humans. There you have the essence...

Neville, the image of the sun bittern poised with wings spread for the kill really stands out. It captures that eerie balance between calm and violence in nature. Everything feels suspended in that moment of patience…right up to “a double / time killing spree day ..” Strong imagery here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written. The poem delves into the natural world, focusing on the sunbittern’s poised stillness as it prepares to hunt. It reflects on the predatory instinct both in animals and humans, suggesting a commentary on the nature of waiting, observation, and the act of killing, whether it be literal or metaphorical.
