Harmony of Souls
Neville said:
this is one of those rare epic prose poems Phil that tells the whole story, without any unnecessary or distracting frills.. but tells it straight while firing from the hip and hitting the spot .. not only that, dunno whether you may have already noticed, but there is a certain theme & ultimate conclusion that both your \'Harmony of Souls - Part 1\' and my own \'Two Weeks in July\' seem to share.... anyway, stay both safe n well my friend...

Had to read this I dont know how many times.. not because it was too deep, but because it blew me away..
your fourth stanza is something else entirely... You sir are the only other person bar me I know, who has mentioned a bittern in such a meaningful way within a poem....
Not sure why only me & Andy have left our visiting cards behind...

What broke your broken heart
Neville said:
Hey, I have absolutely no idea why any of the seventeen visiting viewers prior to my own perusal left anything of themselves behind, here on this well filled page...
I can only assume that some of them at least, either had poor taste, or were in a rush...
I know it happens and it never ceases to annoy me that folk often just cant be bothered..
I am usually quite a calm and mild mannered kinda guy but passing through without so much as an acknowledgment sucks....
Anyway .. at least ya know I have been sniffing around... I enjoyed \'What Broke Your Broken Heart\' which had a good storyline behind it... it actually reminded me a little bit of both Dory Previn & Janis Ian .. that is a compliment by the way.. My only reservation was the format... I reckon these fine words may have been more aesthetically appealing had they been aligned to the left rather than centrally... Indeed I took the liberty of copying and re-formatting just to check my theory.. and yep.. I think I might just be right.... Why not see what you think....
All Good Things,
Neville

to put it blankly if one wants to understand the marriage between cognition, pen page and ink
One has to read between the lines.... Made me think no end sir....

A Stroll through the Willows
Jo March said:
It is such a beautiful poem. I felt that you took me along on this lovely walk. I imagined everything you did and saw on this walk. It was such a pleasure to read. I particularly enjoyed these lines: Life too, has landing spots that need hauling... what life would have been like when those islands were the playgrounds for Boston’s elite. They are so beautiful, so moving -- life unfolding before my eyes at a glance. Thank you so much for this lovely poem.

Super write, I was walking with you. You certainly nailed it with your words
\"We sat and listened to the seagulls squawk
the politicians of the ocean\"

On the subject of a blank page, I remembered the words of an Indian song, I enjoy listening to. A crude translation goes like this:
My life started as a blank page, and is now again a blank page. What was once printed on it, got washed away by my tears.
On your poem, brain freeze is the artists biggest nightmare, but you spelled it well

Excellent reflection on the poet\'s relationship with words on a page - you got it in one Phil and that last question did it for me - - growing together yet separately - - would love to know the answer to that
- - great read and thank you.

Great write, our daughter is an artist and when she was doing Fine Art at University she used to wear a white set of overalls, I never did see them white.

I always protect the working surface with towels. They are covered in differennt colours and it always amazes me when I put a frame around them. Some of the patterns/images are quite amazing. Strangely enough I never seem to get my clothes covered. Love the write which does describe several of my friends though.

Loads of applause for this question I have never dared ask Phil - - you are so right about the painterly clothing of artists - I wonder if they have enough rags and if not they use their coats or shirts etc... a fun write but it got its true message in the end line......... great stufl.

When love is lost, all of those things like songs and special places become something to avoid to avoid the memories. But, I think that it is not those things that are at fault. They are innocent through all of the turmoil. Just the human condition of trying to relate and obtain great memories. Great one Phil! As usual :)

My full attention too. Luckily we still say \'I love you\' and will be saying it again and, I am sure, again. By the way we\'ve never watched Downton Abbey but currently are captured by \'Line Of Duty\'.
