Catching Up With a Debutante

Curiosity killed the proverbial cat, but her seeming profession having been my 2nd choice, now I recall that\'s how my one great uncle met my since great aunt. So, guess it\'s more useful than I\'d realized. That aside, this is excellently rendered with a haunting poignancy and fascinating imagery. Thank you for sharing.

Neville how tightly you weave your story with the rhythm of each breath. Such a human tale it speaks to passion, and that whimsical nostalgia that plagues all of our minds at times, It bleeds a feel of humanity and personal history. Lovely

Stay with me here, in the movie Quigley down under he said he doesn’t have much use for handguns, but didn’t climax scene. It was the handgun that was his tool to overcome it. When asked he says I didn’t say I couldn’t use a handgun. I just don’t have much use for them.
Is all of a sudden you had rhyme on your pen today for a bit but though you don’t have much use for mostly it did feel the climactic tension in the poem. Thank you for this great piece, my friend.

Knew before I was not very far in, I would have to find out how to spell ‘Armageddon’. And further look up ‘Hiroshima’ and ‘Nagasaki’. And also ‘Apocalypse’ and perhaps ‘cataclysmic’. But there you go, by the time I dragged my tail here, the work had mostly been done for me…

Too easy compared with your original construction, Neville.

Now Neville the ambiguous C unfairly led me down the wrong path to a back room in my mind where I expected Christmas but was instead found the naked truth and so in shock and denial I still tell myself that it was a metaphor and was Christmas in disguise. Sad but well done poem Neville

I\'m with you there. Or, as Mel Brooks once said. \"I get up in the morning and read the \'obits\' and if my names not there, I have breakfast.\" You just never know.
You have captured the notion of \"diminishing relations\" perfectly. The hard part is establishing new relations. There\'s a feeling of pointlessness that overtakes the endeavor. It\'s just life, that\'s all. - Phil A.

Getting that way here myself… perhaps making new friends quickly could reverse that trend (?).

My grandfather used to read the obituaries when I asked why he said to see who he still knew one day he was no longer reading them and I asked why he said I don\'t know anybody any more.

It can seem that way Neville but in my case I have been very lucky and found love that lasts forever as I am sure that you have.
