Beautiful poem and not just the words of it. I love how it is structured to taper outward. From the shorter opening lines to the broader/longer lines at the end. Well done, my friend. That chorus of yours...awesome!🌹👏

On another note, read your notice of absence. Yikes, Glad you are all okay. Cyclones are no fun, I know...having endured Superstorm Sandy. Keeping you all in prayers, my friend.

Hmm. Mum having read and reread countless times Winnie the Pooh and etc until the tales are entrenched within me, I even bought the book on my own and retell the various tidbits from memory when occasion serves, and what is this farewell? Fascinating and intriguing in brevity with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy, thank you for sharing.

Lovely done, arqios,Your poem \"always and forever\" conveys the profound bond and commitment shared between two entities, likely representing lovers or close companions. It explores themes of unity, enduring love, and the intertwining of lives over time.

always and forever

Such very touching thoughts and your poem transferred me back to childhood days and promises made to forever friends. And then we grow up and forever takes on a new meaning. For some, it’s until something better comes along. Call me a cynic why don’t chã. I still believe there can be happy ever afters though. I have known many that have worked out. Your poem is a fairy story and I love it.

This poem speaks to me of childhood. A rite of passage kind of thing. Hopefully most of us have wonderful childhood memories. Some of them become bitter-sweet as we grow older, for those innocent days are now gone! We still have the memories though, and we should cherish them!

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 My front door by the way was originally made in 1547 but hey ..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.

Fine words arqios, the Pirate King will always be remembered in Penzance. We saw the operetta a few weeks ago.
