You, Me and My Dog .. and Blame It on Saint Marlo
Cassie58 said:

I have never been to St Malo. Seems you have some very clear memories of a long time ago when you were young and innocent. On the other hand I have been to Somerset many times and have memories of very happy family holidays there. I love your first poem Neville. It speaks to me of you wishing you were in your home territory with those you love best.

I traveled in Somerset, once. Went into a pub there, and the barman said I should try the local cider. I should not have listened to that man.
Never been to Saint Malo, but trust you remember it well. Perhaps more than just fingers. - Phil A.

A border terrorist, is that like a border collie? You always get me thinking farther than my lazy brain wants to go, particularly on a Sunday. I think that border terrorist is guarding the border between Summerset and France. Oh oh my insanity is showing through. Great write Neville

Good writes N.
I of course will fail to see the links between two poems if they are the least bit cryptic. If there are any links, that is. lol.

Making Green & Reflex
MendedFences27 said:

Loved both of these. \'Making Green\" I would say, would be my favorite. The simplicity of it adds to its message.
\"Reflex\" is a bit humorous, not intended to be a morality poem, yet very enjoyable. Maybe you were allergic to her perfume. - Phil A.

Making Green & Reflex
sorenbarrett said:

Well Neville creative, imaginative loved the blend of colors and the metaphor gos deep as does blue into yellow to make new green sprouts. You taught me something in your note I was unaware of the name of the reflex.

Nah that\'s not right - them greens in chapter one weren\'t properly cleaned of seeds.....
Having sorted that one for you, those two pictures are easy on the mind\'s eye.
ACHOO (your comment) a collectable.
Thanks Neville.

I really like this pairing with the haiku-like a glass of well aged Shiraz and Asiago-

Cheers!

Not - \'No one here in this church but us church mice coming out of the floorboards\'.
Somewhere I heard it as a saying: \'No one here but us mice\'.

Soft words for a soft topic and beautiful as down feathers they fall upon the ear. The combination of the Haiku following the poem was brilliant like icing on a cake.

as ghosts we may hold so dear
names of years past forgotten not
in hopes we have been heard

we are but a smile
for morning doves to see
and so the day begins

Cassie58 said:

Good morning Neville. I am liking your two for the price of one. Your first, is quite lovely. All of a sudden, I think being a ghost sounds rather special. There is alot of love there. And your second, being woken by doves, that is special too. What a wonderful morning wake up call. Have a great day. I have eye surgery to look forward to:)

Two for one eh Neville, are they that expensive.
The two you mentioned certainly are, sending C cards by post is so expensive nowadays.
As for Ann Summers I can remember seeing her shops in the High Streets but never went intom one.

I think I knew Ann Summers in another life. Pretty sure Halmark and American greetings spelled the end of true Christmas and hand penned almost anything, this really make me sad. Good work here.

MendedFences27 said:

Well, I am somewhat befuddled. It appears you are not happy with the Royal Mail and/or someone named Ann Summers. I get your being dismayed with the R.M. It\'s the same here. About all the U.S. Postal Service delivers are advertisements, a few bills, which soon go away, and political flyers. All of which folks will not miss, when gone. The culprit is the Internet.
As for Anne, can\'t say, maybe she would be some fun though. - Phil A.

You have me at a disadvantage being on the other side of the pond. I never did like when fountain pens went out of style no personality in writing and I hate when mom and pop stores go out of business the franchises though they have a larger selection are all stamped out copies of the same item. No personality anymore just as political correctness is making us a society without colorfulness.

Well now, this took a bit of working through Neville.
My local post office has gone through three stages –
1.Sold stamps, handled letters, and provided forms etc
For all manner of Govt and Semi Govt purposes.
2.Didpensed with forms, which went to newsagents and filled up with card, pen and so on…
3. Parcel central.

Thought Ann Summers read the news over there......? Looked her up. The Ladies I found looked ready willing able and good to go……

A comedy showed had a snobbish woman send a card next-door, as she wanted them to know she used 1st class stamps. Must be an old show, as it would cost a fortune these days!

Two for the price of one. You know I’ve always liked a bargain. Well I might not get what you’re getting at, but the Royal Mail made me think of stamp collecting and my very old album, started when I was seven. Still collecting dust. I used to love receiving letters. I still write them, but then I am old fashioned.

As for the second, a very long time ago I went to an Ann Summers party. I still remember what I bought. …they were made of chocolate. I think you could have a whole load of fun with a feather and a handful of ice cream. Not keen on oysters though! I have strips of leather on my favorite hippy bag which still receives many compliments.

Loss of heritage? Yeah, I feel it. There are those who would like to wipe all traces of our heritage out and replace it with meaningless shite. Rant over.

You know, your poems never fail to get the brain cells to work out. Have a thoroughly splendid day Neville.
