If Only Things Had Been Different
MendedFences27 said:

Second chances are like 2 in a million, but we all wonder and never forget. The most powerful word in this poem is \"if.\" This poem captures a universal dilemma, lost love. There is no going back no matter how many times we dream of it happening. All that\'s left is a memory. - Phil A.

If Only Things Had Been Different
Cheeky Missy said:

What\'s so charming about this one is that it should resonate with countless since too many of us have begun pining again over missing lovers. Oh! The piercing ache! The yearning to have a second chance where the first plummeted. Beautifully rendered with excellent spirit and that superbly haunting poignancy which drives us insane.

On quite important junctions in life it’s the small things that count for the most and make the biggest differences!

Highly identifiable the what if. I think everyone has, at one time or another, asked themselves such things. A poem that is so human

Thomas W Case said:

Tremendous imagery. You take the reader into the scene and make them feel the emotion. Top notch.

Seems like anticipation thwarted. I too still look for certain people long after they have departed. Nice.

Looking Beyond Spring
MendedFences27 said:

Missing someone and hoping to find them in the future. The \"rains\" of separation, the comfort of home, the \"buds\" of hope, all images that lead one to think that someone is missed. And then the sad conclusion that they cannot be found. This poem comes to that sad ending, and the reader was expecting a much happier one. A terrific poem. Loved it. - Phil A.

Fighting definitely a waste of time...
To love, to smile, so divine
A bridge is made to close a gap
Not for dictators or lying saps...

Dealing with spring now, and feel happy that someone somewhere feels strong enough to tackle theirs and keep it and subsequent seasons under control, Neville.....

To have to feel it all but unable to see it through, must be mighty frustrating!

Neville I had to read this over a couple of times to get the sense of progression in this poem. This poem is very subtle. It begins with the falling raindrops hitting hard stone and it emphasizes the feeling of (each splash) painful indeed. The second portion mentions the word hungry for the fledglings that type of hunger when awaiting something as important as an empty stomach or heart. Then the buds with patience awaiting spring and finally the last statement of despite all this not being able to see the awaited. This leaves a rather sad feel and one of disappointment. Did like the pun like introjection of (rain check) This has a somewhat haunting feel to it. Brilliant!

Whoa, big hailstones. They are very dangerous. Can be killers. Global warming is responsible for the frequency of this kind of happening and to some extent the intensity, When will the Population of the planet wake up and do something? Thanks for posting this, we all need to be aware of these happenings. - Phil A.

Nature strikes back. Am I hypersensitive Neville or are there some hidden hints here? (new second hand) does this refer to weather that we see as new but is really second hand, just comming back around? Climate\'s mood changes like any person and although we don\'t need to provoke it we can expect it to change regardless. The allusion to the fists at the end bring to mind the erratic mood of an abusive person and how nature strikes back with much greater fury. Lovely write Neville.
