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.

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.

Neville this poem is beautiful. It well can be an allegory for the world itself. Being a nature lover I soon will join the dead former lovers.

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

I hope you\'re doing better, my friend. Your poem \"At the Very End of It All\" revolves around the concept of death and its implications. The poet reflects on death as a finality that is devoid of pain, desire, and suffering, portraying it as a peaceful outcome.

Spoken by whom was wrested from Death\'s grasp not so long ago, your tale far prettier than the ghastly accounts I\'ve been privy to by halves over the decades, your delightful manner of rendering the experience, then subtly and adroitly twisting the whole around to address a hopeful future leaves me dragging my jaw off the ground. La dee. Is it really and truly just as you\'ve related? I wonder, frankly, especially in light of the Scriptures. How beautifully rendered as if exceptionally, with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing, Sir.

Neville, this sits with death not in fear, but with a beautiful kind of reverence. The tone is like a whisper...half letting go, half reaching for meaning. I appreciate how you hold both surrender and hope in the same breath, unflinchingly. Well done, my friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Also, 🍻!

....it’s not a void but a gentle release from hunger, pain, and desire; but as a radiant arrival shaped by hope and gratitude.
When we share deep faith, its uncertainty softens into a familiar passage we navigate together.
