A great evocation of a distant time, a romantic time from here, although I doubt it would have been romantic for the participants there.
Really felt it though - thanks Fay.

Mind breaks
Without any sound,
Pyres burn in tune with
Fast blowing wind....

with a dramatically - timely picture
and triumphantly melodious words: combining
to capture every aspect of that sea-side majesty, we
need only close our eyes to be immersed, entirely
in the height of Nature\'s magnificent, glory!
a stupendously magnetic read for all shoreline enthusiasts, dear Fay

sorry, but this is one write I can\'t relate with, in terms of subject
but still, I was immersed in those intricate details you highlighted to bring your words to life
a thrilling read, dear Fay (for me at least)

To have actual contact with a snake is quite amazing, the feel quite different to the expectation. You have covered the experience nicely I feel, Fay.
(PS -Your sugary love poem seems to have gone missing; intentional?)

What\'s missing is the fire that once raged in hearts of young. Maybe a reminder of the early days and how the mutual attractions began will reignite that fire. Wonderful write Fay.

funny, how we miss-out
on that eye-to-eye connection
to all things - monumental
within each passing second,
while busily immersed
in that eye-to-screen union
of our pixelated: escapes...
wonderfully creative dear Fay, such a fun read

Oh yes and yes again.... when the telly is more important than her whatevers...... hit the sack together and make hay..... the sun will shine and it will be a good fun day.
Two conditions must be observed.... he must remove his socks and she her marigold gloves.

\'Far-sighted avian hearts
beat beyond cell bars
as they aim to seek stars.\'
there are so many layers to these poignant words, dear Fay
that metaphor of a caged bird is classic, but there\'s a reason why anything \'classic\' is deemed timeless, its in that innate ability for generations - to relate, even without context..
here for me you\'ve penned a wonderfully life-affirming lullaby: a message of empowerment,
there is a song by India Arie, titled \'break the shell\', and its lyrics resonate best with how I choose to translate your words:
\'Child it\'s time to break the shell
Life\'s gonna hurt but it\'s meant to be felt
You cannot touch the sky from inside yourself
You cannot fly until you break the shell\'

No one seems to have a budgie these days, do they .. or is that just my imagination ...
I remember when almost every other TV advert was for something that made ones budgie bounce with health .. or was that joy ...
I dont like seeing any living thing penned or caged these days ...
Nice one my friend ....

THe only cage for a bird I could respect was that in which dwelled an african grey parrot. The door was always open, the bird had feedom to roam the house. It must have regarded the cage as a place of safety or refuge. It slept there and pooped there. Such intelligent and long lived birds.
A great poem bringing home the message of the cruelty of deprivation and encagement of our feathered friends for such selfish gratification. One wonder what their trills of birdsong would actually translate to. Desperate pleas to be rescued no doubt.

I\'ll pay that one, Fay - not only for the quality of the lines (goes without saying, really) but for the plea embodied within the work. Like so much other human activity, the caging of birds is wrong and cruel.
