For those of us who are open correct? You\'re talking to my heart! One thing\'s for sure...\"all traces of any old and now
obsolete predecessor\" must be gone before moving to the next level! You need to teach me how you come up with your titles! Love it šŸ’œ

If you wander into the orchard, don\'t go picking any apples.
Try to keep this floral arrangement well-watered and fed.
The metaphor teases the mind. It drives the illusion, or should I say allusion. This is a classic. - Phil A.

Now a terrible joke - just call me Ambi - Mr Dextrous. Or Bambi - I\'m a Guinea Pig Dude (GPD) as one poet says! Doh!

So, I asked Siri about secateurs and got nothing. I changed her accent in settings and then SIRI tells me Garden Shears. Gotta get me an Oxford I guess and then I see that Jasmine held you hostage but then I see flowers. Do I started again with a fresh Mi n d abd I really like it. BTW- I had Jasmine pictured like Halle Berry.

Sibling Arrivalry
Bella Shepard said:

Being an only child I have no frame of reference. But when I see what siblings share all through life, I have to say I am envious. When all is good, cherish. So good!

At least he remembered all is good! Although, a lot of us do take for granted the fact that we can just dash across to our folks with any news. Thanks for the reminder! šŸ’œ

Fine words Neville, those tales of the English seaside towns can be wonderful and scary.

Steer Well Clear of Dorset Buoys
Bella Shepard said:

You set the tone of this poem beautifully in the voice of the salty old sailor, and his warings. A tale to delight, told around the campfire. Loved it!

Would it be dramatic to say that I am in love with the way you use the English language?

A bit of trivia: Isolated danger markers on the waters, are two black balls on a black bouy.

Steer Well Clear of Dorset Buoys
Soman Ragavan said:

My comments on the poem \"Steer well clear of Dorset buoysā€ by Neville
In yon stretching resort land, one must never trust those buoys and even less those lasses. As for the lads, ā€˜tis not just Bridport and West Bay. Nothing and nobody be as they appear; neā€™er trust yon fake smile. The gulls be giving out warning signs that one must heed. They have seen a lot but they can only talk gull language. ā€˜Tis for us to decipher. Thou must, indeed, neā€™er relax vigilance and always remember whatā€™s for thy own good. Sirens and pirates have got to be fed and they feed on the unsuspecting. They be hungry like whales, crafty as foxes and slippery like snakes. ā€œBe most afearā€™dā€ indeed. Thou be right : foul weather be nothing. Look for the real dangers and ā€œstay alert.ā€ Stay clear of them lads, lasses and buoys, for they have a myriad tricks up their sleeves. Buoys are meant to warn : but, buoys might deceiveā€¦ Some buoys can save thee : some can sink theeā€¦ Soman Ragavan. 20 August, 2023. //

I always look forward to your titles! You again, did not disappoint. Thank you for the explanation in the comment section. And by the way, you\'ll never (never say never but...) find me out at sea. Not my thing...so I will steer well clear! BUT, I do love Homer\'s Odyssey! Yes, the sirens lured sailors to their death...but still...beautiful. šŸ’œ

He named the muse, and she stuck to the identity he created for herā€¦I hope that she deserved it, since she didnā€™t know who she was before thenā€¦ Reads like a Woody Allen script, so fresh and interesting as alwaysā€¦

Fear Silence Not
Kinsey Peterson said:

Nothing to fear in silence, aside from the sheer volume your own thoughts then create to occupy the space...

Goodness Neville, you always pull curiosity out of me. I quite wonder what knowing this woman would be like.

Would You Kindly Pass the Entonox Babe
Kinsey Peterson said:

When I was in 6th grade I read the dictionary for free reading time because I had already read the entire library at the school. I still had to double check on this poem lol

Would You Kindly Pass the Entonox Babe
Bella Shepard said:

Did my homework and googled entonox. In my naivete I opped for lamaze first time around, and must have had a memory lapse with the second, cause I went the same route again. It was all the rage 50 years ago. I suppose some of us just like doing it the hard way. Good write!

Fear Silence Not
Parisab said:

So true about the awkwardness of silence, the nature symbolism takes the fear out and brings mysteries ā€˜echoedā€™ ā€¦ This is why I enjoy the essence of your poetry, Neville.
