Good write, Neville. The hole is always larger than the shovel.

A beautiful play on words and concepts. The hole left is in some ways like removing a chest buried in dry sand it leaves a hole or impression that extends outward beyond the original boundaries of the box. Although not in the same form or as deep it leaves an impression far wider. Loved this one Neville

Yamatorige - Feathers of A Copper Pheasant
Cheeky Missy said:
Grand. Set me to researching what I\'ve hitherto been ignorant of, will you? Fascinating, indeed. This is a charming use of poetry. I do so LOVE it. Excellently rendered with perfect imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Yamatorige - Feathers of A Copper Pheasant
sorenbarrett said:
So often the title is requisite in understanding the poem. Here with the title\'s help the imagery of the poem paints a perfect picture where nature and symmetry become one. Very nicely worded this poem puts me there the setting painted. I have seen pheasants before but they have always been on the ground flushed out of bush with an explosion of wings making quite a distinctive sound. Most lovely Neville

Yamatorige one of Japan\'s most treasured and beautiful cultural possesions, and probably the most beautiful sword ever made, a lovely write, enjoyed

Oh my--!!! Your style tastefully pushing the limits of discretion, this tiny hymn from the deeper recesses of the boudoir at its most passionate moments is sultry indeed, until I feel like hiding myself lest I be caught in activities forbidden me. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and a charged poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Your poem \"Portrait of an Old Jug and Bowl\" is a testament to the timeless allure and exquisite craftsmanship of porcelain artifacts, masterfully juxtaposing their historical significance with their contemporary presence in a personal space, inspiring reflection on the passage of time, the artistry involved in their creation, and the way objects can retain their elegance while serving functional roles in modern life.

That\'s a wonderful description of a beautiful piece of japanese pottery which is clearly valued as it should be,a thing of beauty. The gold crane is sometimes used to cover a repair, but this sounds in perfect condition, I hope the cranes deliver what they represent happiness and longevity, enjoyed the read

Some works of art are fortunate enough to be appreciated by their owners to be kept in pristine condition through generations, passed down from one to the next. Valuable even in the beginning they grow in value with age, but they require a discerning eye and a careful hand in a culture that has appreciation for them. Stunning images Neville and yes some things do speak for themselves without the need of metaphor

A fine write N.
And now my next poem, \'Portrait of an old boot\' (or old trout). I will include a pic of KP with the poem. Heehee.
I\'m a naughty guinea pig rodent. She\'ll feed me lettuce. They can\'t have it, as it gives them the trots. But they can have cabbage and grass.

There\'s a reason I left visual art for words, as you\'ve too capably proven herein, for while any rendering of the same would have been pretty, I never could have cherished it as much as I do this. Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and an almost exquisite poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Only you could render the gorgeous experience of daybreak with such quintessential twists it\'s practically become fit for mature individuals and none else. My la! You, oh you! How exquisitely you, how daintily rendered with excellent imagery and a passionate poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Friendship said:
Your poem \"Madagascan Girls\" is a vibrant celebration of the unique cultural practices of Madagascan girls, showcasing their traditional forms of expression through dance and adornment. The poet includes their identity, the use of natural materials for body decoration, and the significance of anonymity in their culture. The poem highlights both the beauty of their customs and the misconceptions that outsiders may have about them, inspiring a deeper appreciation and understanding of their way of life.

A picture painted in words, vivid and bright bringing another exotic culture with the feel of the sun\'s warmth to a distant land that is now cold. Loved the rhyming wordplay in this one Neville

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.

Well Inclined
Friendship said:
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.
