This is the coldness that can\'t be warmed by any blanket, and furnace. Bone chilling and determined to stay around. Good work, and good luck.

Not much of that around here right now, but I do have vivid but decently distant memories of cold - both physical and emotional and neither are much fun....

Hiding out in the open. Yes indeed I took this for more than just a relationship gone bad but something more hiding out in the open. The litteral story is one of coldness and I felt this in the poem\'s construction and wording. It gave me chills.

In a poem that got colder by degrees as I read through, there was a surprising upturn in the final lines. A poem of contrasts between then and now. The warmth is so much kinder on the soul. The cold is callous. I have always hated winter. You convey emotion so very well here Neville. Have a beautiful day my friend.

Good write N.
We\'re cold here emotionally at times - shivery - a time of grieving.
Not hard-hearted, but some of us could not bear to stay long with a loved one when in hospital, not that he was in pain exactly, but suffering.

Fine words Neville, I too have come across young people like that and I have this ability to help them by just listening, it doe not sound like much but if they know that you are really listening to them they keep speaking and the problems they have come to them and they realise what they are and tend to get over them themselves.

To victimize oneself is of the saddest of stories, but a story they feel must be played out. 🌹

I only managed to get it from the subsequent discussion, I’m afraid, Neville -Apologies.
Hard for me to understand, but cutters are there and so difficult to help resolve, so good luck to both of you.

Well I’ve come along and read this many times to try and get pictures in my head. I see oysters. Yes sea food. Recently I watched a video of black pearls being extracted from an oyster shell. Fascinating it was. I wondered whether the oyster felt pain. Discarded oyster shells? How am I doing Neville? Such a unique write. Loved it whether I am close or a million miles away :)

\"and asked, if I should
like to watch
her bleed black pearls,
to hide the hurt
of being left so far behind\"
My favorite part of this charming poem that seems a puzzle. Since you have made it clear not to introduce spoilers for the next reader I\'ll refrain but several came to mind. I do think in one case the word silhouette is a key word, An alternate view is the title itself and seed have great meaning.

This applies to so many things all at once. It’s perfect. It’s confounding If I already wasn’t addicted to having you as a brother I’d be looking for petty reasons to not like you. So often I struggle to pinpoint instead of circling, and then you say something poignant about everything all at once in a mere 34 words. !!!

You are right Neville there are several ways of looking at things and as I looked at this poem I saw many but again you are right the outcome is always the same. No matter what we do death is the final word for one and all and this becomes indelibly clear as we grow older. Beautiful and probably not the intended interpretation but so be it.

A poem which is open to much thought. Life and death. It doesn’t matter where we come from or what our journey is like, or whether we are rich or poor, we are all going to die. And as we age, inevitable thoughts of death, become more indelible. No escape for any of us. While I read these lines, my mind also travelled to your recent Crumbs poem. You always create much thought with your writing Neville. You stimulate the mind.
