Comments received on poems by Neville
More Than Just A Contented Man
Doggerel Dave said:
Strategy: wait for possibly one more comment and then fill this space with \'As Above\' - that should cover it. But as the world keeps on turning, I\'m not quite sure when I will be in this spot once more... So if orchi can get away with \'good write\' I will - just this once... Good write Neville.

Are you fucking with the Lord?
If so, I think I understand.

More Than Just A Contented Man

This seems an ode a call for one last fling before the curtain falls. It is a beautiful expression of passion and lust for life in recognition of its ending. A life almost complete lacking that one last sip of wine when one can say I have done it all and the last piece falls into the puzzle the picture complete. Lovely and a fave

This has the calm, lethal patience of something wild and untouchable.
The tension builds slowly, like watching shadows wait for their moment.

Needed a new fridge if you were generating that amount of heat alongside. Enough tucker in good nick there for breakfast?
(A rich moment with all the trimmings, Neville 👍)

Neville, that detail of rakia and apricots stayed with me. The way taste becomes part of the memory gives the whole scene a warmth that feels very real. It’s a small moment, yet it carries a whole story within it. Nicely written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nostalgic it is the taste of a memory that is sweeter than any dream, it is under the rust of time that gold shines in contrast. A most lovely write Neville and a fave

Neville, many words have been expended over time here and elsewhere in attempts to differentiate between animals and humans. There you have the essence...
(Not yer average bird of prey, BTW, when I looked.)

Neville, the image of the sun bittern poised with wings spread for the kill really stands out. It captures that eerie balance between calm and violence in nature. Everything feels suspended in that moment of patience…right up to “a double / time killing spree day ..” Strong imagery here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written. The poem delves into the natural world, focusing on the sunbittern’s poised stillness as it prepares to hunt. It reflects on the predatory instinct both in animals and humans, suggesting a commentary on the nature of waiting, observation, and the act of killing, whether it be literal or metaphorical.

Dark shadows lay in this write. It is ominous and foreboding. Is it personal or sociopolitical reflecting the time of day we are in. I shudder. Nicely written my friend

Bleak, reverent, and honest—your lines carry the weight of memory and sacrifice.
You make the sky and the fallen speak, gritty and unforgettable.

There are indeed Neville a philosopher\'s poem this is. We will never know the outcome of all the ifs the roads never taken. So short but so satisfying. Nicely done my friend I feel that the philosophical has its place in poetry alongside the emotional and so a fave
