That Last Time Look
Doggerel Dave said:

The distance, the the resultant emptiness (will it ever be filled again?)
Not particularly worried if I got this wrong, Nev. I found plenty to cogitate over.

We are so enraptured by the part we are, that the whole completely alludes us. But that aside, your words are composition for meditation

Bella Shepard said:

The zen of life meets the enigma of existence in two 3 line stanzas. Short and sweet, and has my head reeling. Things that confound me a lot more these days, you have very simply put into words. Extraordinary write dear Nev!

Just Another Zen Thing
L. B. Mek said:

thew words, express
why, at times
during a meditative state
we feel like, we\'re being pulled apart
torn both that sincerity in our now
and that all-consuming chaos
awaiting, a blink or two away
this is why the yin and yang, states
remain constant
never one or the other in sole authority
like regret and hope, co-existing
in one momentous yet insiginficant
moment...
(another subtle gem, dear Poet
imagery smacks us in the face
but its brevity is so hidden
ever-so subtly
most will read, fish their Cod\'s of poetic delight
never realising, those more rewarding eels and vendace, depths
that await, those who linger
over these seawater words
and contemplate...)

Song for Gene Malloy
L. B. Mek said:

this is inked, testament
to why only those truly invested
should ever pen, tributes
simply mesmeric in flow
melodious, in poetic eloquence
a great read!
thank you, Hyung

Doggerel Dave said:

Orchi conducted a preemptive strike and pinched my corny one liner, Nev...so...
Superficial as my knowledge of Zen is (very), I cannot help but feel those Zen Masters might find a fresh....
And the last three lines - I marvel sometimes at the way ordinary words attached to one another confirm that indeed \'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts\'.

Doggerel Dave said:

Dear Sir, (I do this all the time to big companies and Govt depts - are you either?)
I am unhappy with the quality of your product. I feel more instruction should be provided.
What was a futile search of both Google and Utube yielded no relevant results for Gene Malloy….and so on…
Regards,

I looked at the dictionary and came back disappointed, but then DA!, saw your notes - well thank you sir.

The amazing feat of accomplishment has its own reward, as your words in taking us there

Gladding
Fay Slimm. said:

Thanks for a new word and its meaning - - I like the sound gladding makes and am sure it would be fun just as your look back moon ago at you and more boys \"poking around at eel-pits\" - - will look soon at some video vintage practice of gladding - - and agreed as your last lines admit to need of self-caught eel-fish as food even in these days of easy bought meal-time abundance. A stunning piece of prose Nev.

L. B. Mek said:

devoid of your author\'s notes, these lines
transported me to that milieu you worded so vividly immersive:
\'Those grey remnants of waves
that repeatedly
spit and do laugh and do lap
at our feet
while we all squat like twats,\'
a poetic dreamscape in a read

Poem on a Plate
Doggerel Dave said:

Certainly one way of consolidating international relations is via a good feed (not into haute cuisine).
Just give us a few olives, a bucket of red wine n some goats cheese to wipe on the crusty bread….
An good will for everyone… I’m off for a nap after, as tranquility slowly seeps through my body.
Burp….

What a deeelishuss taste of simple dishes when love\'s on the menu my friend. - - methinks this needs a big \"origado\" for such a poetic platter Nev.- - - - (at least as I understand that Portugese word) ..............x

When Things Were Perfectly Perfect
arqios said:

Haha, all of a sudden a memory flashed of Sophia posing by fridge light. Marcello could have been better to her. But ce la vie. My nan had a wall to wall, floor to ceiling mirror in the old house and we used to play in front of it. I think the aunt\'s went to ballet or something. But yeah, it was one big mirror! Rik.
