Oh’ to Be Vaporized
Cheeky Missy said:
I frankly prefer the former than the latter since I\'ve long maintained my love and affection are mine to give whether or not they are returned in due fashion. How simply rendered yet with a curiously deft exquisite sense haunting, superb imagery and a charming poignancy romancing it. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love it.

Remarking on A Flight of Fancy
MendedFences27 said:
So much within these words, love. life, wisdom. remembrance....And more, I\'m sure. I read it as remembering a romance that was less than serious, and gaining a spoken wisdom, which is being recalled by one now older and wiser. Birds as a metaphor for love is true in the sense of flight and its hazards. We soar only to crash and die. Loved it. - Phil A.

And bang went a morning as I dived down a virtual boggy hole to gather more information on the Sweet Track. Poetry as a purveyor of solid and intriguing information. Great stuff, Neville.

Sweetly done. No, why embellish? A local history piece needs some bare facts, unless there\'s a tale or two to go with it. But, we can\'t re-write history, so you\'ve told it like it is. I loved it. - Phil A.

Neville, you’ve given this piece the feel of a guided walk through time...ayering history, place, and pride in a way that makes the Sweet Track feel both ancient and immediate. I like how you balance the factual with a touch of storytelling warmth, turning heritage into something the reader can stand upon. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ A fave from me, mate. And a whole lot of cheers: 🍻🥂

A write that links the modern day to the past falling back into the misty past and prehistory into myth associated with the legendary King Author\'s Chamelot. Nicely written Neville

Remarking on A Flight of Fancy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, there’s more weight in this than the title lets on, mate! The imagery lands wonderfully…wings not just for soaring, but for burning. And invoking Icarus feels earned...not a warning, but a truth we keep learning the hard way. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem carries a mournful wisdom, gently cautioning against hubris while also recognising the inevitable allure of flight. It\'s a quiet elegy for the dreamers, and a mirror for anyone who\'s tried to defy gravity long enough to understand what holds us down.

Those flight of fancy wings can get too close to the sun and wax does not stick well to skin in warm weather. Nicely penned my friend

orchidee said:
When KP goes there\'s gonna be a whole lotta space taken up with botox - acres of it as she melts away! lol. She will pollute the soil with it. I will encase her in.... an old tea chest. heehee.

This poem dear friend, tugs at the heart strings and brings a lump to the throat, it is so true. For it is the very feeling, when you live through it. Beautifully said!

Filling Gaps
Friendship said:
Your poem \'Filling Gaps\' beautifully captures the fleeting nature of human existence, illuminating the profound emotional resonance that lingers long after someone\'s departure, and poignantly reflects on the humble physical space individuals occupy in life, juxtaposed with the transformative emotional impact of their absence.

A beautiful play on words and concepts. The hole left is in some ways like removing a chest buried in dry sand it leaves a hole or impression that extends outward beyond the original boundaries of the box. Although not in the same form or as deep it leaves an impression far wider. Loved this one Neville

Cheeky Missy said:
Grand. Set me to researching what I\'ve hitherto been ignorant of, will you? Fascinating, indeed. This is a charming use of poetry. I do so LOVE it. Excellently rendered with perfect imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

sorenbarrett said:
So often the title is requisite in understanding the poem. Here with the title\'s help the imagery of the poem paints a perfect picture where nature and symmetry become one. Very nicely worded this poem puts me there the setting painted. I have seen pheasants before but they have always been on the ground flushed out of bush with an explosion of wings making quite a distinctive sound. Most lovely Neville
