Shanty
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Argh! This spins a great yarn of the high seas, matey! Except, in reality, it’s not really a yarn is it? I have had myself a Shanty before, though I no longer drink. Salty indeed! Well done, friend! 🌹👏

Oh, captures the rough-and-tumble life of sailors, bold and unapologetic language that reflects the sailors\' free-spirited and often reckless nature - it\'s a pirate\'s life for me!.

Salty indeed. A poem of ship set sale and a sailors tail. As salty and sensual sexual if you would. I could see the Port towns sailors and felt there language in this poem. Wordplay is wonderful, but not as good as foreplay.

wait, there may still be time - if the recipient does not appreciate such unrequited love, we, at least, are deeply touched by the glorious sentiments expressed. keep it up

I could hazard a guess, but I won\'t. Only to say, we all end up ashes.

A Hand Full of Ashes
sorenbarrett said:

Haunting and gets better with each read. It reads with melancholy and although as light as ashes it contains a darkness. I look too deep at times but couldn\'t help but wonder if there was meaning in the alliteration of three g\'s gulls gargoiyles and girls and the three g\'s of Masonry, A wonderful write Neville

A Hand Full of Ashes
arqios said:

Oh so deeply melancholic, of masks, isolation and most strikingly of inherited struggles. A superbly touching exploration of grief and deep personal loss. I salute the strength and the engagement of these that we carry hidden within us.

Good fun write Neville but in these days and ages there seems to be a war going on about what sex we are.

Unreasonable Logic 
Cheeky Missy said:

Funny. Posted on my 50th birthday with the 1st stanza haunting me ever since I read it because it seemed to be my beloved late father\'s sentiment, and yet I saw him weep in losing my mother. Since they agreed among themselves [Mum and my oldest brothers] that I was the other pea in the pod to him, being remarkably similar excepting in sex, I wonder.
Rendered in characteristic style, yet hitting too close to home, tis beautifully rendered with great imagery and a very haunting poignancy.

Cheeky Missy said:

Your \"...daughter, Dave, who--\" must surely feel kinship with Ryan [Reynolds] and Blake [Lively/Reynolds]\' daughter James, and the host of other misnamed girls....and you blame the drinking water. Hmm. Is your \"skirt\" a kilt? Either way, delightfully rendered in excellent good humor with sparkling imagery. Thank you for sharing. [To think I\'m still disgusted with my dad\'s sister who named my cousin, my female cousin, Bronte, twenty years ago, like that was acceptable.]

I sniff something satirical about this piece, just like you might encounter another alliterative affirmation acknowledging the unquestionable quality of this wonderful work. Well done, friend. 👏 Now, I am going to my male-exclusive bathroom at home…which my wife tells me is the tree in the woods behind the house. 😂

Satire at its best in this gradually inverting world. The best is the touch of absurdity towards the end. I felt the adsurdity managed to convey the incongruity of the situation quite eloquently. Fantastic poem!

What did we identify as today... guess it doesn\'t really matter now that all is fluid and in a constant state of dysphoria... someone please respect the inner turmoil that boils and roils within me!

If I didn’t know that it was biological, I would think that it was being taught in the schools. Maybe it’s just a passing fashion. A fun lighthearted read that gave me a smile and that’s all it takes to be counted as good for me

Still Art For Art’s Sake
Cheeky Missy said:

If only I\'d not initially taken up that form of art I might join you, but having already dabbled in it, I\'ll leave it to you others whose hopes in such fair prospects have still a leg to stand on. I prefer sonnets, for myself. Daintily rendered with excellent imagery and a teasing poignancy, thank you for sharing.
