Oh my--!!! Your style tastefully pushing the limits of discretion, this tiny hymn from the deeper recesses of the boudoir at its most passionate moments is sultry indeed, until I feel like hiding myself lest I be caught in activities forbidden me. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and a charged poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Your poem \"Portrait of an Old Jug and Bowl\" is a testament to the timeless allure and exquisite craftsmanship of porcelain artifacts, masterfully juxtaposing their historical significance with their contemporary presence in a personal space, inspiring reflection on the passage of time, the artistry involved in their creation, and the way objects can retain their elegance while serving functional roles in modern life.

That\'s a wonderful description of a beautiful piece of japanese pottery which is clearly valued as it should be,a thing of beauty. The gold crane is sometimes used to cover a repair, but this sounds in perfect condition, I hope the cranes deliver what they represent happiness and longevity, enjoyed the read

Some works of art are fortunate enough to be appreciated by their owners to be kept in pristine condition through generations, passed down from one to the next. Valuable even in the beginning they grow in value with age, but they require a discerning eye and a careful hand in a culture that has appreciation for them. Stunning images Neville and yes some things do speak for themselves without the need of metaphor

A fine write N.
And now my next poem, \'Portrait of an old boot\' (or old trout). I will include a pic of KP with the poem. Heehee.
I\'m a naughty guinea pig rodent. She\'ll feed me lettuce. They can\'t have it, as it gives them the trots. But they can have cabbage and grass.

There\'s a reason I left visual art for words, as you\'ve too capably proven herein, for while any rendering of the same would have been pretty, I never could have cherished it as much as I do this. Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and an almost exquisite poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Your poem \"Madagascan Girls\" is a vibrant celebration of the unique cultural practices of Madagascan girls, showcasing their traditional forms of expression through dance and adornment. The poet includes their identity, the use of natural materials for body decoration, and the significance of anonymity in their culture. The poem highlights both the beauty of their customs and the misconceptions that outsiders may have about them, inspiring a deeper appreciation and understanding of their way of life.

Why this seems inextricably to cull to mind the liquor of the same designation I\'ll prolly never know, but the suggestion paired with such details lends a vision of such passionate beauty tis enough to make one faint. Gorgeously rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Friendship said:
Your poem “Well Inclined” explores the evolution of a person, particularly a woman, from being perceived as a \"blank canvas\" to becoming a rich tapestry of experiences, relationships, and personal history. The poet seems to revolve around identity, the complexities of life, and how experiences shape a person. The imagery of flowers, mythical creatures, and names of children and lovers suggests a life full of beauty, complexity, loss, and love.

I’m struck by the way the poem balances playfulness (exotic animals!) with poignancy (the weight of those lost relationships). It makes me wonder: if our own body or a loved one’s were a veritable canvas, what stories might we see written there?

Neville, this is beautifully layered...what starts as simplicity reveals a life inked with love, loss, and legend. There’s tenderness in the telling, but no illusion...just honest observation. A portrait built line by line, like memory itself. Very very well done. Or in my world 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🦇 Now, I need not tell you how special four ravens are...but four ravens and a bat? That is Ozzy Osbourne special, my friend! Seriously, all silliness aside, I loved this. A fave! 🤘😎🖤🙏🕯️

Wow, blank canvas indeed! Wisely rendered, hinting, she was never so blank as the term suggests, and how beautifully you show the same, to effect. Exquisitely rendered as your wont with superb imagery and a tantalizing, flirtatious poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

At the Very End of It All
Friendship said:
Your poem seems to revolve around the contemplation of death and its implications. The poet presents death not as something to be feared, but rather as a state of peace and liberation from the struggles of life, such as pain, desires, and hunger. The philosophical understanding of death suggests it is an inevitable transition that can be viewed in a positive light. The poem invites readers to reflect on their perceptions of mortality and the possibility of crafting a more optimistic outlook on the end of life.

At the Very End of It All
sorenbarrett said:
I have long thought that death is not something to be feared but rather welcomed. It to me is nature\'s justice, fair to all since none escape. It frees for pain and sadness. I have always seen the grim reaper as a kindly soul and the boatman as a guide on a otherwise perilous journey. Life to me is a cycle, maybe not conscious but a return to where one came and a growth in something else, even if rock or bacteria. A reincarnation not for perfection or becoming something greater but just for being and experiencing, as cells, molecules, atoms, being something new. A wonderful read that carries a tinge of melancholy. A fave
