Well Neville creative, imaginative loved the blend of colors and the metaphor gos deep as does blue into yellow to make new green sprouts. You taught me something in your note I was unaware of the name of the reflex.

Nah that\'s not right - them greens in chapter one weren\'t properly cleaned of seeds.....
Having sorted that one for you, those two pictures are easy on the mind\'s eye.
ACHOO (your comment) a collectable.
Thanks Neville.

Somewhere I heard it as a saying: \'No one here but us mice\'.

Soft words for a soft topic and beautiful as down feathers they fall upon the ear. The combination of the Haiku following the poem was brilliant like icing on a cake.

as ghosts we may hold so dear
names of years past forgotten not
in hopes we have been heard
we are but a smile
for morning doves to see
and so the day begins

Good morning Neville. I am liking your two for the price of one. Your first, is quite lovely. All of a sudden, I think being a ghost sounds rather special. There is alot of love there. And your second, being woken by doves, that is special too. What a wonderful morning wake up call. Have a great day. I have eye surgery to look forward to:)

Two for one eh Neville, are they that expensive.
The two you mentioned certainly are, sending C cards by post is so expensive nowadays.
As for Ann Summers I can remember seeing her shops in the High Streets but never went intom one.

Well, I am somewhat befuddled. It appears you are not happy with the Royal Mail and/or someone named Ann Summers. I get your being dismayed with the R.M. It\'s the same here. About all the U.S. Postal Service delivers are advertisements, a few bills, which soon go away, and political flyers. All of which folks will not miss, when gone. The culprit is the Internet.
As for Anne, can\'t say, maybe she would be some fun though. - Phil A.

You have me at a disadvantage being on the other side of the pond. I never did like when fountain pens went out of style no personality in writing and I hate when mom and pop stores go out of business the franchises though they have a larger selection are all stamped out copies of the same item. No personality anymore just as political correctness is making us a society without colorfulness.

Well now, this took a bit of working through Neville.
My local post office has gone through three stages –
1.Sold stamps, handled letters, and provided forms etc
For all manner of Govt and Semi Govt purposes.
2.Didpensed with forms, which went to newsagents and filled up with card, pen and so on…
3. Parcel central.
Thought Ann Summers read the news over there......? Looked her up. The Ladies I found looked ready willing able and good to go……

A comedy showed had a snobbish woman send a card next-door, as she wanted them to know she used 1st class stamps. Must be an old show, as it would cost a fortune these days!

Two for the price of one. You know I’ve always liked a bargain. Well I might not get what you’re getting at, but the Royal Mail made me think of stamp collecting and my very old album, started when I was seven. Still collecting dust. I used to love receiving letters. I still write them, but then I am old fashioned.
As for the second, a very long time ago I went to an Ann Summers party. I still remember what I bought. …they were made of chocolate. I think you could have a whole load of fun with a feather and a handful of ice cream. Not keen on oysters though! I have strips of leather on my favorite hippy bag which still receives many compliments.
Loss of heritage? Yeah, I feel it. There are those who would like to wipe all traces of our heritage out and replace it with meaningless shite. Rant over.
You know, your poems never fail to get the brain cells to work out. Have a thoroughly splendid day Neville.

This poem makes me feel sad. When green belt land is concreted over with housing for a population explosion. Progress? I think not. We are a small island. Expect far more building in the future. I like to reflect on what used to be. It was much nicer, but then I’m old fashioned.
Too much concrete doesn’t help when rivers flood and the water can’t drain away.
Don’t talk to me about fresh water pollution. Daren’t even dip my toes in the Thames these days. Much to think on here Neville.

This planet can sustain only a given number of people, before it dies. This creates a battle between population control (and all that goes with it) and territorial expansion (not just industry, but many other groups seeking land}. However, it is inevitable that we must control the population and limit expansion. One feeds the other. More people more expansion, goodbye planet.
Your poem localizes this problem and draws attention to the way such expansion effects people. It\'s a mighty big problem currently with no solution. The directness of the poem lends to its intensity and amplifies the fears raised by the problem. Very enlightening and very scary poem. - Phil A (see message}.
