A Man With a Bucket and No Hat
Cheeky Missy said:
You\'re downright hilarious with this pretty number of a reflection, causing me to shake with laughter. Argh! Rereading only makes me shake with laughter the more. Delightfully rendered with excellent imagery and a distinctly haunting poignancy. I love it! Thank you very much for sharing. You\'re too fun!

Repression and The Senegambia Highway Man
Cheeky Missy said:
Forsooth. Were we unable to pull off that trick we\'d still be wallowing in whichever horror last had us by the throat. Excellently rendered with gorgeous imagery until tis graphically roused to haunt with an exquisitely painful poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Corporal B and Me
Cheeky Missy said:
For all the movies which culled our hearty laughter, you\'ve handily rendered the same in a tidy little pretty number which conjures images aplenty, sitting here daintily on the blank page. Gorgeous and deliciously rendered with delightful imagery and a rather disturbing poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing. You, oh you!

As I was reading I got the feeling of a veil being lifted from the painting. Then suddenly I was confronted with the question \"is it truth what all that we see?\"

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Indeed, this poem is so multilayered that it presents many questions. Are forgiving and giving to be valued universally? Are they truly the higher ground all the time? What does it mean for them to be fools? Are they foolish for hoping more from us, humanity? Or foolish because they don\'t recognize that what can be good in some circumstances does not always good? Or is it that we are the fools for knowing they lead us to better places, yet we choose not to pursue them? Those are just a few. That makes me love this poem, because the journey is in the questioning, never in the answers...and the journey is where its at for me because who knows on the rest. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

I feel the sense of the double bladed sword here, for some forgiving and giving has been fullfilling and beneficial, to others it has got them killed, a write that makes you question, enjoyed the read

The Tao taught me to look at things in more than one way. Forgiving and giving do provide a warm glow but the ground they stand on is not that firm and maybe not that high. Two fools depends on which side of the mask you are on. After all the fool was often the wisest in the court. A poem to identify with and to puzzle over. It seems so straight forward at first then maybe not so much. Look what forgiving and giving did for the Indian and where did Gandhi or Jesus end up turning the other cheek?

If you don\'t know how to exquisitely render what all know too painfully well, I don\'t know what you know to do. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and a tantalizing poignancy, I\'m only deciding on where, precisely, this is to be hung.

Yikes! I shrink from the dire implications saucily winking herein at me of a sudden. Methinks I\'ll leave the final assessment alone, as it were, for the moment. Expertly rendered with perfect imagery and a haunting, damning poignancy flirting about it. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Don\'t mind the pun, but this poem had an impactful ending. 🤣 Truth be told, I absolutely love this Neville. It is written as if you are watching or experiencing the fall. For both form and content, this gets a fave! Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

Did she fall, or was she pushed? A burning question which must have been asked many times in many different cases! A lovely open-ended poem, Neville! Plenty of room for the reader to ponder and postulate! Well penned, my friend!

This short poem encapsulates so much in an instant just like the fall. Taken literally it starts abruptly there is a brief flash of her trying to reroute herself evoking images of desperation and change of heart. The idea of suicide introduced but quickly dismissed the only other possible solution accidental fall or murder being pushed. In metaphor I could go on and on. Loved it

Oozes and breathes Holocaust, cloying toxic asphyxiation; almost like human sacrifice were it not mass genocidal murder.

This poem hits hard and it needs to. A reminder on what we are told never again. And yet I fear and fear very much, it could happen again. Sadly history is horrific and lessons are often not learned and history has a way of repeating itself. A tough read Neville.
