An anniversary? Or do we speak of childhood here that we carry always with us? A lovely cryptic metaphor that I have to admit could go many ways for my scattered brain

A dear friend of mine, a very talented actor and singer who even competed on NBC\'s The Voice here in the USA was in a national tour of Pirates of Penzance. Well done on this, my friend! ❤️🙏

One hundred & fifty nine miles exactly & two hours and fifty seven minutes on a good day from my front door .. My front door by the way was originally made in 1547 but hey .. who\'s counting .. I was in Penzance only last weekend .. Love the cut of your jib arqios & the saltiness these words conjure up in my head this blustery Saturday .. I met a modern day Pirate of Penzance while there in the form of an overly enthusiastic car park attendant who slapped a fine notice to my windscreen two whole minutes before my time was up .. He was appalling & I am appealing .. Neville

The Golden Age of Piracy - tick; Gilbert and Sullivan - tick; Penzance - tick.... I spent a long Easter weekend of jazz there one memorable year and consumed not a few pints of Directors and (don\'t forget) London Pride to keep lubricated...
Thanks for the memory, mate.

Let the child within us release their imagination to the full, lovely imagery of days gone by, sadly Penzance is no longer like this, lovely enjoyable read.

The name itself Penzance in origin brings thoughts (Head land or holy headland) it may be coincidental but in Portuguese (pensar) is a verb to think related to head but it\'s origin comes from the verb to hang and they hang pirates don\'t they. An English town and in this poem locked in child imagination and fantasy it takes us back across time as indeed it does me to remember childhood itself. Lovely Cryptic full of childhood imagination.

Ever since reading a Marvel comic many, many, many, many, years ago which featured for one episode only, a character called Mordar the great or the incredible who believed he ruled his universe only to be flushed away from the petri dish he in reality inhabited, by a lab technician or scientist who couldn\'t see anything visible or viable through his atomic microscope .. I have been fascinated by those things you have brought to our attention .. Consequently, very muchly enjoyed .. not only for the ride, but for the rush that accompanied me back to my childhood & all things associated .. Neville

I love your last stanza
(It evokes a sense of wonder
a reminder of the vastness
contained within the small.}
Size is relative and is infinite both ways. Lovely

The cyclone may be advancing towards you and I wish you well, but this poem I see as a struggle against inner turmoil. There is much chaos here and I see strength riding high through the storm. A poem of battle and survival into calmer waters. Well penned. The struggle felt.
