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

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.

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.

A Cautious Distance
MendedFences27 said:

They say that normal personal space is four feet. I want to know where? Have they not flown economy? Today\'s youth want to know, \"What the hell is a postcard?\" Oh yeah, and they don\'t call, they text. So yeah, these days one must resist nature and remain aloof. Apparently the danger outweighs the reward. Never speak to a stranger, they may be a serial killer, terrorist, pervert, religious fanatic, or even a politician, Probably better to just stay home and not go to cafes unless you are looking for trouble.
Now your poem calls into question a lot of social norms concerning space, intimacy, technology, and the postal system. Frankly, it\'s just too much bother going anywhere these days. At least, you do not have to consider if you should bring your gun. Anyone for ice cream? - Phil A.

A weekend tale of entanglement which threatens order and told with panache........... answer ( but sans the postcard) - - - when in doubt think seriously about that cautious distance and handfuls of promise.

..postcard text...
Dear poet, saw you in the cafe drooling over a really timid looking lady. I thought to myself.... why doesn\'t he send her a love note with a small gift ...\"Roses are red, violets are blue, the ice cream heres lovely, this ones for you\"

Would you, should you, could you?

In imagination, there is another world
What is aloof here, is abundant there

Thnx for the gasps and sighs

dusk arising said:

Something mesmerising about a single breast, ... the i realised you had written \'single breath\'.

Most definitely theres this other world and its full of the ones that got away...... pretty people but rotters every one of \'em.

The way to an amicable ending is found in this expressively tender verse - - fondness never begrudges the sight and experience of another world....... good read, nicely put and thank you Nev.
