Pride and obstinacy together make for an immovable object as well as an irresistible force when meeting they go nowhere. A well worded and beautifully painted image in this very short piece.

Reminds me of the Tudor period in our history books. A brutal time, and as for Henry VIII, a right royal bar steward. An absolute tyrant and so religious !! Said his prayers all the time. I am assuming 2016 was the year you wrote this poem arqios? Or does it refer to something else.

There were dreadful days of Mary I. She and Henry VIII were murderers. Now that\'s no way to treat our mother-in-laws! lol.

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.

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.
