Twice Stirred.
Neville said:

Damn good in its own write

Calliope is all these things and more... her beauty and mystery limited only by the imaginations of those poets and authors who pen her name...

Suresh said:

Nature - your perception, quiet different from that of the moth or thrush or every single creature and plant... to them everyday is a fight to survive ....
.... but your words woven here, a rarity

Brilliant write Fay, the anguish flows through your words.

Love\'s Call.
Suresh said:

War has produced most romantic poems imaginable, for it holds the suspense of ever meeting again, in body and soul, as when departed.
Very well scripted

Love\'s Call.
MendedFences27 said:

Soldiers die from the separation and the hell. Two wounds at once, the former the more painful. Those that wait also die from the separation, and and endure the anxiety of not knowing.
The ancient cry to end all wars keeps repeating, but hopefully growing in volume.
Oh, how you have recreated the longing felt, the risks taken, and the futility of it all. It saddens the reader while truthfully displaying the over-riding dread. Your words fall like her tears and their meaning explodes in the mind of the reader.
I really enjoyed this one. - Phil A.

YOU ARE.

Love\'s Call.
Neville said:

On reflection, these well crafted words remind me that war is not for lovers........ Neville

Love\'s Call.
dusk arising said:

Reads like the heartache of a lovers parting with the agonising waiting, hoping, and the anguish of fear that her hero may be yet another sacrifice to some politicians war game.
Compelling and heart wrenching.

DEFENCES.

Its always been amazing to me to that the underground rootwork of a tree is more complex than what we see up above. This is a fine piece of work, Fay!

DEFENCES.
Goldfinch60 said:

Wonderful write Fay, I would like to think that the traits of the wise men could come to the fore and take us into a world of wonder.

DEFENCES.
Neville said:

the juxtapositioning of the old tree and wise men/people is done superbly..... as is everything else about these words....... Neville

DEFENCES.
dusk arising said:

Ah yes those windswept Cornish trees, defiant of the weather.
And so in humans, strength to withstand lifes battering, strong and hardy souls. Carefully guarded soft interiors have immediate sensory contact with all encounters and a lifetimes risk assessment radar.

YOU ARE.
Goldfinch60 said:

My Dear Fay,

I’m glad I had a few minutes to pop in today! Your penned words are exactly what I needed at this moment!

“Muse a few moments and find
a still space”...

Thank you for sharing these much needed sentiments!

Seek said:

To express so much optimism, positivism and hope in our times must require a special talent and temperament. A very reassuring write.

A message we all need to heed from time to time. Time to enjoy singleton self.... a few years under the belt, all the more reason.

Wonderful write Fay, love can be a fraud but true love is sublime and within your words it can be found in spite of the temptations that are within the wold.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD EVENING FAY : ANGELA here ! Its 10:30 am (Tuesday) and Im just catching up on MPS as I have an Evening Clinic ! Brian thought I should comment on this one ! We are not married yet (and dont cohabit !) so for us it is really *A Bridge too Soon !* However in retrospect in our *close encounter* during our trip to South Island we did glimpse the ecstasy of verses 1 2 3 & 6 ! But dont tell MY PAPA because ours really is REAL LOVE !

Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN🧡💙🧡💙
