Before it All Began to Go Wrong

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?

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.

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.

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.

Good write N.
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.

Strong words Neville. I just do not understand why anybody will harm children. If I had my way I would hang by their spheroids from a bridge and let the crows have them!

Yesterday I Met a Monster
Cassie58 said:

His beard was braided. Yuk I thought and as I read further, I imagined the horror of having to listen to the sickening stuff he was coming out with. Children egging him on. Nothing but an evil pervert. Yes a monster in your presence. Every parent’s nightmare. Such a dark write Neville, but there seems to be such a great deal of darkness at present. What a pity he was let out after 25 years. Who let him out, I ask? Your reality. What an awful yesterday, but what a powerful piece of writing. Great to see you back.

Wow Neville, those are the days I wish we are out sick-Although another psychopath can be joining us at a holiday… Great to read your moving words again…

Teddy.15 said:

Hello dear Neville, you\'ve been missed. This is really dark and having seen what happened in Sydney yesterday made this even darker, I guess any good psychology would know that we can only help those who want to be helped and those born pure evil unfortunately may never be able to change. An eye for an eye? With what is going on in the world right now, I\'m thinking I wish it could all be fairies and father Christmas but in reality it\'s all so terribly dark. 🌹

What an incredibly sensual piece of poetry Neville, discovered here in your archives. Wonderfully written and not likely to be forgotten either. A masterpiece in a beautiful scenic setting.

Hope springs eternal, and love will always try to find a way, though starry eyes may not see the warning signs along the road. A touching vulnerability here my friend, beautifully crafted.
