So this spider, in conformity with modern taste, has dispensed with the parlour and all that palaver and went straight.....even avoided the chase...?

Oh what a tangled web we weave....
Reminded me of my grandfather that used to sing to the kids \"Baby bye there\'s a fly let us watch him you and I.....\" Oh yes I know it has much deeper meaning as well.

False Promises and Little White Lies
Dan Williams said:

People all too often make promises they are unable to keep, unrealistic or just insincere. All to casually used. Good work.

False Promises and Little White Lies
Bella Shepard said:

Promises are made these days to achieve a desired end. And when that end is attained, somehow the promise never existed, it is an alternate reality we live in. Will we ever be able to trust the word of another again? Quite a chilling write my friend, but a much needed one.

I suppose one could follow the trail of white tissues and get to know someone, but only their sad side. I like the subtlety of this poem. many meanings hidden i the tissue box. - Phil A.

Bitter, or merely observation, Neville?

False Promises and Little White Lies
sorenbarrett said:

A great write Neville. I knew a man once who on his word alone with no written contract lost over a million dollars sending him into bankruptcy. A man of honor whose word was more valuable to him than his wealth. I see little of these days. it may be more of a black tissue of dark lies. Nicely done

We all have secrets that we bury very deep inside. Your ghosts can extract those and use them. Are they therapists?
A very intriguing poem. I was left with questions without answers. _ Phil A.

Living Like Ghosts
Bella Shepard said:

For some reason your words make me think of those living with mental illness, hiding in plain sight, but not really part of the world, unsuspecting lonely souls. At least that is my take. I love your phrasing, and I love a poem of contemplation. Kudos!!

..... without any question re the source of those secrets (opinions - \'truths\')...... Go for it Neville.

Ah this metaphor could be applied to many different things. How many poets steal lines from others? And even if not consciously then from some vague distant memory verses appear out of thin air that we think are ours. Loved the short lines that gave timing to the poem. Very nicely done Neville

What secrets do KP and I keep from each other?! lol.
I don\'t hide any from her. I say, e.g. \'You\'re looking uglier each day, dear!\' lol.

Iā€™ā€™m sure those private lessons put you on a pathway of life long learning and discovery:)

So what was it Miss Jones taught you? Of course, it must have been poetry šŸ˜‚

I bet you had a smile on your face penning this memory:)

Bella Shepard said:

I\'m sure those private lessons stood you in good stead for years to come, or for years that were to come, or more properly for the future. The naughty side of you just won\'t be supressed, fortunately. As always a tantalizing write!
