Oh those glimpses of sunlight that brighten a cloudy day, they do give such a lift don’t they Neville? My dog Solo has a very happy life. I guess it’s because she is content with her lot. We all need a little sunshine in a cloudy world. A lovely read.

Bella Shepard said:

Makes me think of morning walks, sky clouded over and the feeling of seeing a tiny chink in the clouds with a glimpse of bright sunlight. I love the metaphor and the sentiment it invokes.

Overcast with bits of sunshine, sounds like a forecast for life. We all need to enjoy the bits more to overcome the gray clouds.
A poem that shows how personal bits of sunshine can salvage an otherwise dismal day. Loved it. - Phil A

A surprisingly brief encounter can sometimes linger in memory and lighten other longer social relations.
Got me recalling now, Neville

Friends With Benefits

Well done. Remember, the price of life is death.

Friends With Benefits
MendedFences27 said:

At a certain age we give up on \"friends with benefits\" and settle for friends who are breathing. Your poem is one that senses the later part of life, which is funny if your sense of humor becomes self-deprecating. Got a chuckle out of this one. - Phil A.

Friends With Benefits
sorenbarrett said:

A proposal? At this age benefits are merger and coitus interruptus is usually by heart attack from over exertion. Great write

What Else is A Metaphor
sorenbarrett said:

Love is cryptic even as an anagram and meta is for anything beyond. Never the less I find this write a bit more cryptic than my brain can handle. Great write short and all around the point.

Unfortunately Neville we are nearer our end than our beginning but our end still has a long way to go before we reach it.

So true Neville, we just cannot do anything about the way the world is being led as nobody listens to us.

A poem which I have now read several times. Included in The Making of a Broken Man which is an another cracking anthology from you Neville. Read from back to front, front to back and at random:) The final three lines particularly meaningful and I am sure relatable to many at times of their lives.

Eastern promises are mostly hot air, but (I believe the number is 15) blasts worldwide and we no longer have a planet that can sustain life. So, whoever is guarding the big red button should shoot anyone who tries to push it. - Phil A.

Doggerel Dave said:

Yes - both metaphor and reality inextricably locked together Neville.
To call it chilling is almost too corny and obvious... but it is.
Short, I like here, Cold and hard.

Neville this metaphoric poem resonates out of my past into my present. Remembering walking the vast open expanses at times lost and now with age those expanse become something else but the same. Great write

Ah, the hills and valleys of exploring unmapped frontiers. I think I\'ll get my coonskin cap and search for a gap among the Cumberlands.
A great use of metaphor. Saying one thing and meaning another, or was this just a road trip through paradise? Loved this one. - Phil A.
