No Cage for Thee
dusk arising said:

Beautiful separation of possessive romantic love from unconditional love.
If you love the Tiger, then let it be where it can be the tiger you love for within a cage it will not \'Tiger\'.

On several re-reads i really do like this and its a definite for my favourites.

Such a tender release would melt the need to fly free methinks - this gem of good reasons to stay in love\'s chains has love that shines from each line. This one is a fave. to read again. ........ Fay

The NHS Alarm Call
Goldfinch60 said:

Over the years I and my wife have had superb treatment by the NHS but as has been said sometimes it goes wrong. In the case of your father if nobody came there is no excuse.
It appears that \'some people\' not in the medical business want the NHS to fail, this we MUST stop as the NHS is such a worthy cause to save.

The NHS Alarm Call
Michael Edwards said:

I get really uptight when I hear about criticism of the NHS having spent many years defending it from unmeritorious claims. But sometimes things do go wrong or it doesn\'t get it right as seems the case here. Sorry to hear about your Father but it is uplifting to think that he was not alone and had so much love.

Though this was in UK, the experience is the same all over the world, and it truly doesn\'t improve with more elite or expensive locations.
If one could get the correct treatment, home is a more conducive place.
Thnx for sharing

A bit of a lottery is NHS nursing care today. Whilst mostly excellent, when its fails, the failure is felt like a hammer blow.

Havana Skies

Wonderful sights to behold come from your words straight to my mind.

There are certain moments, the one you so poetically recalled, that are etched in memory forever, to be revisited fine and time again.

Super subject done justice in poetry.

Havana Skies
kevin browne said:

Nicely expressed, Neville, and the birds up in the sky where I live display their stunts for hunting prey with such majestic flight mobility it\'s actually amazing watching different types of birds swoop down and glide back up with the wind blowing hard it\'s difficult to land underneath your Havana skies. A super tribute to the dynamic skills both of the swallows and the swift must surely be. A beautiful, intrinsic look into bird life.

Am packing my bags as I write to experience that flight into fancy under Havana skies. Great read Neville.

Havana Skies
dusk arising said:

I slipped on my Havanna Skiis, lowered my goggles and was off down the...what... wait... this isn\'t piste, i\'m pissed.
Frig-it bird, wake up!

Methinks there are missing (politely withheld in the interest of decency) verses here Neville for there are more birds to espy than those you mention when relaxing beside a cooling pool.

However, i get the relaxing picture you create.

Just words - that\'s all that poetry is - but it\'s the way that you assemble them that makes a real poet - super little piece.l

A Cautious Distance
Suresh said:

It\'s always been a cautious distance -
All the poems recited in mind alone

My intentions were never sent out, so, no postcard expected

A Cautious Distance
Goldfinch60 said:

Those questions remain unanswered until that cautious distance becomes closer.
