Stunning imagery, Nev, I believe that the UK has become somewhat tropical in the past couple of summers, can you believe that here in Italy the weather has become very British. A cherry on top of the summer trifle I\'d say. A lovely poem. ❤️

indeed they are, very rare
but one decent one in your life
can make up for a lifetime
of those accursed vultures..
(Brilliant!)

L. B. Mek said:

humility\'s subtle ways
as my chosen lanes in life
it\'s ok if everyone soars above me
I\'ll wear the neck brace
as long as my feet remain grounded
and my ego, in-check...
(I read and learn, my wise friend)
love the imagery
(a timelessly in-season poetry, if you will)
lol

We all come into this world, equal at birth. It is what we go home to that makes all the difference. You are fortunate indeed dear friend, for a father who loved you and taught you well. He must have been a wonderful role model, for that goodness is there in all that you write, in the person that you are. I I\'m sure he is looking down and saying \"That\'s my boy, I\'m so proud\". God bless you both!

As someone who has no true image, I see you just like this!
I could not say the same for my own father but hope I inspire some of this from my own child.

Thank you for sharing
Always a pleasure

Birdlife and nature\'s limelight is how I read it. It shone different from that vantage point. An insightful read this was Nev. 🙏🏼

You have inspired me with a fantastically original title for one of me next poems: \'Mother\'. lol.

Oh so neat.
\'Got that right Neville; I like to travel incognito whenever possible...... get a smidgin of paranoia when the local café remembers my name.
Note to Teddy above: Nah - Kookas are good \'uns except that their laugh doesn\'t appear to be in response to my rapier wit, rather taking the piss. Lorikeets are much more delinquent...

LOL I would never want to be a kookaburra, apparently they are very naughty. I do enjoy your love of birds dear Nev 🤗

I liked your authors note...that this was not entirely true. I bet you do love at least a hint of the limelight. Not a bad thing at all. I did enjoy your poem!

Are channeling Taylor Swift? I’m sure that she is lost cause for fame-or we’re talking about the other swift’s-either way I like the theme around the potency of the limelight

Zilch Seeking Oblivion Surfers
L. B. Mek said:

a little like sleep
devoid of dreams
i can, but presume..
perhaps something, like
a graveyard devoid of names..
or maybe, it\'s where
memories we forget, congregate
to lament, their ill-fated
nothingness, despite being once
being so pivotal to our worth..
(lol
how I do go-on eh my friend
but alas what do i know
still a lovely, thought provoking
read, thank you! Hyung)

L. B. Mek said:

whispering to my poetic fate
I summon what courage i have
to express these feelings I cherish
symmetry, in that ideal I seek
between your steps within grace
and my ambition to become
that person in your life, entrusted
with your joy and satisfaction,
I won\'t be so bold as to guarantee
I\'ll just invite you
to share this dream with me
and pray you\'ll afford me
the opportunity to showcase
this love for you, i carry
encased in all the hope i can
manifest, my dear

When Thinking Upon a Lemon Tree
L. B. Mek said:

that lemon tinged, risqué
of poetry\'s sensuality... lol
(somehow
bright colours and enticing scents
tend to anchor us to our memories)
wonderfully executed Hyung
I relate (although maybe not
the lemon tree part, my life\'s
never been that idyllic.. lol)

Oh woe, I don\'t exist hardly at all now, having married KP! It\'s all \'me, me, me\'. That\'s all she ever says - not to me, but to herself lol. I reply to her \'old trout!\'.

The Simple Art of Wondering
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

A nice writing like your words ))

Couldn’t imagine missing the sky or the sea .. nature is too beautiful

I think we’d be lost confused and very sad without that

That’s a good way to describe total bewilderment. I imagine most visit that state on occasion but to extend that to a nothingness drives that kerfluffle into a spiritual realm , which of course can be argued as pure logic. But, as an aside, would that have provided insight, in that momentary glimpse , as to what’s the next station? The next subway stop? Could you hint if there’s gonna be lots of beautiful women,? Just asking for a friend v

I love the open ended finishing... it does not always have to be the full story, a flash at times is good enough to let the mind finish its own... Totally taken by the title as well. Your poetic outlook is remarkable, N. Beautiful one!
