To guard the ungodly , does it require us to sell our soul. I might give different answers depending on the day but I love the way you succinctly apprised the question and suggested the hidden price. When I grow up I’m gonna tell people I know you.

I\'m assuming this is chronic among poets, I for one have this problem, and I\'ve taken to carrying a pen and a small paper-pad. How many times have I raced home to record a thought before losing it to my 80-year-old brain? You have brilliantly called out this unfortunate calamity. Maybe we can find a universal solution. Looks to me like the younger generation has the answer with technology. Although I hate it when they start talking into their watch and I think they are talking to me. What to do? I vote for pad and pen. At least it is silent. - Phil A

I relate. Ideas for poems often come to me when I\'m trying to sleep. I keep a pen and notepad in bed. Great work.

For the want of a pen my friend, too many great thoughts disappearing into the ether. This poem flows so beautifully that, inhaling deeply, I read it aloud all in one breath and it was amazing. I\'m so glad this wonderful poem did not escape you. !!!!!!

It may or may not be true, but, I notice a lot of beautiful women with very average looking men.

Neville loved the format of this poem it seemed a zipper that was closed. Never the less it\'s rhythm rolled out as if the zipper was unfastening. I too wished I had had a pen many times when thoughts drown in that reservoir of the mind. Now that everyone carries a smart phone just hit the mic and record each thought for latter.

Yes, how is it that words come to us and we don\'t have a notepad nearby?
This is so also, for about 500 poems I had in mind for KP, in the genre \'put-downs!\' lol.

I’m not trying to claw pant and puff my way onto high moral or aesthetic ground here, but I do find such terminology as ‘beautiful’ and ‘ugly’ when utilized in a judgmental sense as rather……. irrelevant and somewhat degrading for those on the uncomfortable end of the spectrum.
Stap me vitals, Sir – keep yer uncharitable thoughts in yer head not out, as I do mine…….!

The never ending search for the woman who will satisfy all those dreams. Maybe luck plays a part in it. I certainly don’t think it’s a science:) I found humour here but there again I’m not at all pc. Your final three lines made me laugh. You have probably excluded most of the female availability 😀 Perfection is hard to come across. Have a wonderful Saturday Neville .

Just Like Some Well Read Woman
MendedFences27 said:
I\'m not sure, but I think this is comparing a book to a woman or a woman to a book. One that is \"weathered and worn\" then \"torn\" \"down the middle.\" Maybe an older prostitute\" or \"party girl\" as in \"defiled?\" Yet the words flow, and images are created in the mind of the reader. Mine were of an ancient book and an older woman, but I couldn\'t get to her being, \"torn down the spine.\" Also \"some\" \'Woman\" in the title or \"some\" \"women.\" The word \"some\" influences the plural choice - Phil A

The possibility for many meanings here. Today a well read woman is torn between tradition and feminism, the imagery is spectacular. I remember well tearing pages and folding them to tear a straight line. Down the spine is it her spine of the spine of the book? The holy book defiled, is that society\'s idea of women set by religious history or being true to herself to which she should be a true and devoted follower? Too many questions here my friend maybe it is just simply a great poem

I saw a sailing boat and her once proud mast, sails in tatters. A life well lived. Spoiled by time and inclement weather. A poem which offers differing meanings. Down and almost out but still offering a glimpse of elegance in its dying moments. Would make a fine painting. Happy Friday Neville.
