A Summer Affair
Neville said:


dagnabit .. this could so easily have been me and ****** or me and ******** two whole summers five years apart and in both the UK and in Israel ..

that last stanza of yours is most definitely what I both said and thought and have since written about umpteen times .. so well scripted my friend .......... Neville

A Summer Affair
Bella Shepard said:

Reading this poem, it\'s as if I were watching it in a darkend movie theatre, getting lost in these two people on the screen and hoping for a happy ending. Then at the end I can hear \"Take good care of my baby\" in the background. You\'ve truly created a \"Magic Moment\", in this Summer Affair, exquisitely written, and a joy to read!

A Summer Affair
Bobby O said:

It’s a story many may be familiar with but you relay it with an effortless style that involves metaphor snd pathos snd all with succinct phrase. I don’t write this well but with pieces like this ad a guide I can improve. Nice job

The All-Nite Cafe
Neville said:

Yes - but it was a very long time ago, Phil.
Have I detected the ambivalence correctly?

Time Always Runs Out.
Neville said:


My word you tell a mean tale about two lovers and the ocean Sir Fences ..

were you ever a sailor perchance like your namesake Sir Fences Drake ..

the ending felt like being hit by a pole axe .. it came too soon and it hurt like hell .. there\'s always room for more such tales though in my book ... Exceedingly well poemed my friend ... Neville

An epic heart breaker, mesmerized by every line your absolutely beautiful imagery and your heart within each line makes this so so special. Everything must come to an end. Absolutely love this poem dear Phil. Kudos a 1000 times đź’–

Troglodyte
Neville said:


very deep .. but then what would one expect from a subterranean dweller .. very much enjoyed Phil .. and just between you and me sir .. I lived for just over two weeks with the Troglodyte community on the fringe of the Sahara and would you believe my stay there with Sami was only cut short because we got flooded .. Neville

Come on - cheer up!!
A very well written piece of misery.
( I\'m only doing this because I cannot compete with the previous entries above.....)
PS: What qualifies you as a Troglodyte?

Bella Shepard said:

Your descriptive words of love lost, a fitting lament, taking me to that so poignant last stanza, that just fits like a glove. Beautifully written!

Troglodyte
Teddy.15 said:

There’s water beneath this sweltering sand

cause I cried a river over you

a bleeding river like the Rio Grande

whose desertlike ending makes me blue


Would it be wrong to say I wish someone had written this for me?

I guess not after all I\'m only human. This is as yours always are a kudos written with a poets pen perfectly ❤️

A true inspiring read. Thank you Sir.

Love lost is that love to lament upon, to write about in a beautifully rhyming, descriptive write such as this done. Well written! Clearly expressed!

Where was I?
Bella Shepard said:

This is powerful stuff, you strike a chord deep within. There are things that happened in my lifetime, where I can tell you precisely where I was, and know how it changed our lives forever. \"Lest we forget\" is so right my friend, this is such a thought-filled and intuitive write.

Neville said:

this is nothing less than a literary/poetic masterpiece Phil ..

I hit the \'red heart shaped like icon\' so hard and so many times to try and award extra marks, but to no avail ..

You will just have to take my word for it sir .. Neville

A new handicap. Like that guy in the commercial shot in a Tattoo parlor “ stay in your lane bro”
And if you had a habit of kidnapping Mended Fences than I hope your slick talk convinces all you just took hollow poles and wire filling holes to loss prevent cuz if they find out you captured our poet you lack the sense heaven sent cuz he might be a broke dude with only two cents there ain’t many rich poets just cool dudes content.

LoL oh yes, Phil, I\'ve been to the USA but I would never remotely pretend to know anything about America. You steam away dear poet. đź’–

A Musette
Neville said:



not so much a reflection sir but more of an illumination Phil .. say\'s I who am proud to say actually did see the late great Bonzo Bonham slap his cymbal\'s .. even more recently saw his sister & her band ..

A Musette
Lynda May said:

This resonates with me. My muse passed away & it\'s a struggle to find the inspiration or the words now. But they\'re in there somewhere, just waiting for their moment!

A Musette
Teddy.15 said:

LOL well rhyming about a lost muse indeed. What a wonderful read, hey it\'s half price summer sales even a muse has to look good dear Phil, she\'ll be back with some massive inspiration as if you need it! 🤗 💖 Heartwarming and entertaining.

Caring dove said:

And yeah , exactly you write about not being able to write

Well , I love your writing a very engaging and well written poem with many great lines





A lighthearted good poem .. many lovely words in this 🙂

I especially like these words

Words once would flow
like the rays of the Sun
now, the ideas I create
are more like a blind date


Please return to me.
My mind’s adrift and at sea
sinking fast into the great abyss
longing for your kiss


Set me free! Let me fly!
Give me wings and an open sky.



Touch my hand
with your invisible light.
Let me hear a jazz band
as I write
