A fine write N.
Now KP and I don\'t help towards peace, with our constant fighting like cat and dog. Doh!
Do many cats and dogs actually fight each other?
You beaten that egg yet?!

Hope, love and peace. The most important words in the dictionary in present times of conflict. How eloquently you convey the meaning of those three little words that can make every difference to our planet. Thank you Neville.

Before it All Began to Go Wrong
Bella Shepard said:

I find that as I age I hit the rewind button in my mind a little more each day, and wonder how all that life passed by. Was I really that child, adolescent, adult, now senior? I think going back helps us understand where we are. Socrates said \"The unexamined life is not worth living\", so the food for thought you offer here is most relevant and beautifully said.

You\'ve chosen wisely and well my friend, words that should be taken to heart and not carelessly bandied about, but uttered with the deepest respect. You\'ve made my day!

I would be there like a shot Neville, such wonderful times and memories back in the day. My friends and I made bows and arrows, we were never ever injured by them, or the catapults we made. LOL
Great times and such innocence all around.

First: A fine line in pure nostalgia Neville, full of the most appealing detail (and I mean \'most\' as part of many or much) which filled me with the above mentioned...
Second: Yes - I\'d go back for a week\'s visit because there were many things/attitudes I really enjoyed.....but do I want my own naivety too?

Before it All Began to Go Wrong
Cassie58 said:

Some say you should never go back, but I would give my right arm to have a day back with my mum and dad, my four grandparents and my four siblings. So much in your words Neville that I like and resonate with. Simple times, when money wasn’t king, when people were friendlier and your neighbours were called auntie and uncle. Values have sadly changed. I sometimes pine for what has gone. That doesn’t mean I am unhappy. It just means time has moved on and I am nostalgic. Thank goodness for poetry, where we can pen our memories and enjoy them with like minded souls. I’d gladly go back with ya to the days before it all went wrong . Just think, no internet, no mobiles we all walked or got buses. A very different world. I really enjoyed the detail in this write.

Accidental Poet said:

Although there are many times in the past I would not want to relive, there are more that I\'d give almost anything to be able to relive. When time was slower paced and less arrogance and ignorance in the world. When everyone in the neighborhood knew each other and would stop to talk. When you could leave your house unlocked without fear of strangers been there while you were gone. And when I saw a pretty girl smile to outshine everyone else. 😊

I wouldn\'t go back in time simply because I believe nothing would change and what I have learnt on my road is that everything from the past has led me to today 🌹 Fabulous thought provoker dear Nev.

Intriguing words Neville, it is so awful that many ladies have problems like this because of the swineherd of men who see them as prey.

Cassie58 said:

The safety of women is paramount. They need protecting from the violence and twisted minds of some of the male species. This poem gave me the chills and I started to think of stalkers and how frightening it would be for a woman on her own, anxious and afraid at night. And then my mind travelled elsewhere to women with mental health problems and that all this might be playing out in their minds. There is so much to ponder on this piece Neville. Different takes. Results the same. Frightened women. A poem of current times, so well penned which exercises the brain cells.

I had my doubts of marrying KP, but she hid the water from my whisky. I got tipsy and said \'I do\'! lol.

You\'ve turned up!! Left without a \'by your leave\' or anything.
I was only querying with Teddy yesterday, and was shortly to message you. Glad to see you back, Neville, but what\'s with this \'despite my burning up like this ..\'
You are a bit of a worry right now.
