What Else is A Metaphor
sorenbarrett said:
Love is cryptic even as an anagram and meta is for anything beyond. Never the less I find this write a bit more cryptic than my brain can handle. Great write short and all around the point.

Unfortunately Neville we are nearer our end than our beginning but our end still has a long way to go before we reach it.

So true Neville, we just cannot do anything about the way the world is being led as nobody listens to us.

A poem which I have now read several times. Included in The Making of a Broken Man which is an another cracking anthology from you Neville. Read from back to front, front to back and at random:) The final three lines particularly meaningful and I am sure relatable to many at times of their lives.

The prize always sweeter when the time is taken to slow down and take in the beauty along that ride. 😊

Eastern promises are mostly hot air, but (I believe the number is 15) blasts worldwide and we no longer have a planet that can sustain life. So, whoever is guarding the big red button should shoot anyone who tries to push it. - Phil A.

When I read it a second time , I imagined that NOWHERE was a place close enough to travel to but was too far to travel back

Yes - both metaphor and reality inextricably locked together Neville.
To call it chilling is almost too corny and obvious... but it is.
Short, I like here, Cold and hard.

Neville this metaphoric poem resonates out of my past into my present. Remembering walking the vast open expanses at times lost and now with age those expanse become something else but the same. Great write

Ah, the hills and valleys of exploring unmapped frontiers. I think I\'ll get my coonskin cap and search for a gap among the Cumberlands.
A great use of metaphor. Saying one thing and meaning another, or was this just a road trip through paradise? Loved this one. - Phil A.

Friend or lover, it matters naught. A relationship falls apart and the leaving or going begins. Sometimes the love has turned to hatred, and you can\'t wait to be rid of them, and sometimes it remains, which makes the parting more painful. Once in a while, it\'s a bit of both. Then, the emotions become tangled. One way or the other, it is probably best to have parted. It certainly makes for better poetry. - Phil A,

Well written and it pretty much says it all. \"Parting is such sweet sorrow.\" Here I hear irritation covered with a thin blanket of civility. Lovely

Spiders win in my book. Flies are a nuisance. Clever that you gave them the power of speech (and drooling?).
