For My Granddaughter on Her First Birthday & Before He Got Broken

The first endearing the second experience is the best learning tool. We do treat boys and girls differently as least traditionally so. Girls with tenderness and boys with toughness. Should we? I don\'t know.

For My Granddaughter on Her First Birthday & Before He Got Broken
Cassie58 said:

You know Neville after reading both of these poems a few times, I have come to the conclusion, that despite it all, you do have a razor sharp brain and a bloomin petal soft heart under that dark exterior. Love your poem for Astrid and The Making of a Broken Man is still my current reading. Worth every penny and knowing the proceeds are going to good causes, is the icing on the cake. Happy Friday my friend.

Yes, anywhere now - Thanks for the reminder, Neville.

These two went over my head, really, as I have managed to produce no issue...

Some things are best left unlit, hidden in the shadows, so to speak. However, they can rear their ugly faces into our minds when we least expect it. Depending on their impact on us they may never be forgotten completely.
Your poem says all these things in a more poetic way. And the use of candlelight is a powerful symbolism for a separated relationship. - Phil A.

Some things are best forgotten, particularly when they end really badly. It appears here that the ghosts are out playing on the mind.

tainted, shared history - ouch
I think I would be inclined to burn some sage.

I canโ€™t help thinking that these memories will cross pathways again. A great write Neville.Happy Thursday.

You know however I read that first poem, I do believe you are being Wednesday wicked lol. As for bears, I keep thinking of the bare necessities of life. So I guess there is a link there somewhere .Happy Wednesday Neville.

The Breaking In of A New Summers Day
sorenbarrett said:

A lovely setting in this poem and the section that caught my interest most was:
\"a fanfare of
old cocks, each groaning ..
Only bakers,
freaks and those waiting to
be hanged,
God fearing fishermen and
unfaithful
lovers, dare venture from
the shadows\"
Very descriptive and so nicely worded. Lovely Neville

To shed is to be free, especially those inhibitions that could be heaped upon those too young to know better. Good write my friend, I hope she never looked back.

If Looks Could Kill
Cassie58 said:

This little scenario, played out to me like threesome in a tv play. Husband and wife meet very old friend. He, delighted to see his old mate, her not so. But then maybe it was a reminder of something in the past well hidden from unsuspecting husband. And you know what they say about a woman scorned lol. Hell hath no fury. How are my detective skills doing Neville? Go on, make my day. ๐Ÿ˜‚

As Sure As God Made Little Green Apples
NafisaSB said:

this reminds me of my sister in law, whom we lost a few months back - she was in a coma, and none of us wanted to see her suffer, and yet the pain of losing her is still there - so can empathize..
yes one day, we will go too, so let\'s use the time in hand fruitfully

New Freedoms to Roam .. & Dissent
sorenbarrett said:

Ah interrelated poems lovely. My old grammar teacher taught us that run on sentences lead to the loss of thought. However in this case the thought was not lost but rather enhanced. It was that second thought with the second poem that caused it to drift. His name was not Johnson was it? Fun read Neville

Cassie58 said:

More bargain poems Neville. I do love a bargain. Two for the price of one. They appear to be related in some way. You know those Convent educated girls, from memory always spent more time in the confession box. The second sort, was more concerned about her halo. She needed to keep it well polished and it sounds that she succeeded. Have a peaceful and contented Tuesday my friend.

Looks like once she rids herself of all that gear, she knows where she\'s going.....maybe she could give number two a nudge, or gazump her completely.
Think I\'d be any good as a problem auntie in the back of those women\'s mag...... well maybe not...

Feels like an old master I saw in a gallery somewhere, but cannot recall...
Clear picture in a few words though.

sorenbarrett said:

Ah Neville you have left me with no clue as to who was found and who was scorned. So many fit this profile. Such a contrast portrayed in this, Even a metaphor for poets recognized and those not and even put down. Loved the flow and the contrast as well as word choice.
