A rich and atmospheric portrait of past mining of tin and copper in Cornwall, Fay (as a comment that seems totally inadequate to pay due to the depth of the detail crafted into poetic form here – sorry) Are any of those mine workings near you? Talk of reopening? If so let’s hope due attention is made to miner’s safety and environmental consequences.

\'Trysts and tresses were forsayed as shorn or capped the
Bal Maidens sought a catch.
A favovian wind meant moist homing
in shivery smicket to a tousled bothy
in fireside bathtub for swift de-slime
and a hot gruel drink before bedtime.\'
(Aye: Cornish blood be pulsating ever-Proud
a last bastion of conquering Celts, enduring Pride...!)
a beautiful dedication, dear Fay
thank you! for the trip through history
and its meaningful lessons

Your sweet poetry will draw the reader in and then, engaged with the realities slightly withheld until there, can have no choice but accept the truth. As valid or more so than the confrontational stuff (don’t look at me!) which the whole subject normally attracts. Thanks Fay.

War has always been with us and sadly, it likely always will. This is incredible Fay. You\'ve penned quite a moving poetic gem.

Beautifully composed Fay. Sorrow and regret pace throughout, mocking each individuals humanity. Realisation of futility but ensnared in brotherly devotion. Frustration and anger used and abused to gain.... to gain death on a field of war by starched collar, perfumed gentlemen.... who\'s names will decorate the books of history long after they are laid gently to death.
An old man watches history re-tell the same old worn out phrases.

The power of words unsaid. More especially when certain words need to be said.
Often a tactic in an unmatched wit of put you downs.
Love is about sharing after all and that includes sharing obstacles to be cleared for a road ahead not creating silent roadside bombs one fears could explode at any moment.

\'dumbness fixed, on stunted

admits, no warmth so love

while couples mumble in cold

hauntingly worded truth, dear Fay

So well said. I\'ve known people who \"fight\" this way. It IS a great way to disable an opponent though - they have nothing to push against! But never a good weapon for love!

I wish I could send this to someone but, they wouldn\'t respond anyway...
This is so eloquently worded for something so painful. I enjoyed the lighthearted title despite the heartbreaking context, it\'s certainly a nice way of putting it!
