Sad Reminders
Doggerel Dave said:

If it\'s not tin it was/is gold and sundry other of today\'s precious metals - in their mining, refining, manufacture, one and all, world wide even today.
Beautifully descriptive and full of compassion, Fay. Thank you.

I love this poem, and the third stanza leaves me breathless. Rereading aloud, felt I had to speak it in a rush because it is so invigorating. And the graphic that accompanies this gem is priceless. This is such a fav!

Thanks Fay – At first read (usually fairly superficial) methought this could be a gentle crit of formalised structure… Second read your advocacy of fresh, outside the accepted norms, ideas shone through. (Should I, as the result of some mental aberration, have completely misinterpreted you….. do let me know, and we can have a brawl…. Conduct a civilized discussion, I mean…🙂)

I couldn\'t help but read a playful
take
on those morning-after scenes
when
nerves make things that much more
spine-tinglingly awkward, to experience
and you\'re just glad you have the weather
to talk about...
(\'\'...erm
still kinda dark, moon\'s still out\'\'
\'\'oh yeah?\'\'
\'\'yeah - kinda
so erm, sleep well...\'?\')
my fingers and toes want to curl just remembering it
no idea how we survive life\'s awkward moments
lol
sorry dear Fay
I read these in a playful mood
but as-ever
beautifully worded:
\'She bleeds grey into Sol\'s late complexion
by brooming out heat with regal
drift\'
that Moonlight silvery grace
arriving early
to keep winter\'s bleakness
at bay

Good write Fay.
i was in good time - in June I said \'Only 6 months to Christmas\'.
And now \'only about 17 more days to go and it gets lighter again!\'. Darkness does not seem so gloomy saying it that way.

The dark of night adds an alluring dimension to passions that daylight never seems to hold. Such an appropriate title and so beautifully phrased. A real gem dear friend.

Kind of like role playing but with a more romantic bent. Reminds me of an Audrey Hepburn movie \"Paris When It Sizzles.\"

December - We have 5 grandkids and 1 daughter-in-law with December birthdays + Christmas. So, a lot of time spent shopping and the days keep getting shorter (daylightwise}.
But hey, it\'s a truly festive time and our tradition is what we call \"Scrooge Night,\" a family gathering and gift exchange. Needless to say it\'s a very BIG month to us. Loved your poem. It is all truth that you speak _ Phil A.
