\'Our stalking the past mars gems
of forgiveness as self-respect
scatters with fresh marks
of shameful regret.\'
insightful and thought provoking
forces readers to look inside, searchingly..
a wonderful showcasing
of your versatility as a poet, dear Fay

Good write Fay.
Meanwhile, as I say, I was so busy finding out what Carpe Diem meant, that by the time I found out there was not much day left to seize! lol.

But I don\'t see any of that in you, Fay.
Now I (not admitting to anything) may be a different case.....

Wonderful words Fay, those childhood times where walking with nature was so wonderful and so safe.

Full on nostalgia that I, a city boy can just about relate to, Fay. Picked a little of its flavour somewhat later....like to think it has kept me young........

Special thanks Dave for your welcome input to the discussion on dementia and how it affects many today -- - bless you for thinking my verse may be based on personal experience but as I supply home-made sensory blankets and bags etc to homes and hospitals in Cornwall I realize how depression degenerates and can even accelerate brain disorder and thought a few lines might make others aware that loneliness and worry reinforces in some cases such spiraling when visitors are rarely seen. My sincere gratitude for your thoughtful reviews after reading Unspooled.

My wife had dementia for many years, it is the most horrific of problems and if people have not lived 24/7 with somebody who has the problem that have no ******* idea what it is like. I know it sounds awful to say but when Joyce passed away it was a release for both of us.
The last count I heard was that there were 223 types of dementia!!

Not offensive.
Not going to try to formulate a coherent response other than to mark that I loathe the whole damn thing, particularly as it raises the question: who am I really?
A write based very much in that reality, Fay.

Who knows what maelstrom our minds may be swept into if dementia choses to knock our ajar door of age.
You bring a poetic \'jumble of thoughts\' syndrome to life with your gentle loving feminine take on this monster disease. Truly a moving but quite upsetting read.
You show your poetic brilliance here deftly dealing with a worry anyone over sixty harbours in the quiet corners of thought where we fear to tread.

their determination to survive against all adversity and in particular, often in the least likely of places is something I am in awe of ...

Good one, Fay. Have always marveled at the age of some trees. A bristlecone pine tree in California, estimated at over 4,800 years old.

\'Rooted in \"Self\" is how saplings revive.
Like the set leaning stance of moorland trees
so might life\'s challenges be met by humanity.\'
what an empowering, philosophical metaphor
of profound insight you\'ve shared today, dear Fay..
(although, admittedly
when I read your description of \'wind-bent\'
my first thought, after checking the picture again
was: \'that\'s a conservative wording, of uprooted\') lol

Not all trees do as many folks here with inappropriately placed trees now sitting on crushed roofs will testify.
However here’s a survivor from the underside of the world:

Not quite wind bent, but a survivor anyway…
Thanks Fay for posing the question – and I hope humanity does.

\'to describe nature\'s gifts

and ain\'t that
just the perfect summation
of your Poetic legacy!
I have lost count
of how many daybreak poems
you\'ve shared with us, Dear Fay
but I know for certain
after reading each one
I\'m left hoping that your next
won\'t be too long: in the inking..
thank you, what a wondrous depiction
truly!

Yes indeed Fay for now i am taking on a bent and twisted stance myself. It will be interesting to explore what keeps us clinging to life as the daily storms batter.
