Conch

Neville

Conch

 

When I stare into the sun

blinded

I am reminded of the conch

I really am and hey

 

We are not meant to do such

Things alone

After all we are mere mollusks

I have decided

 

Gram negative and positively so

Attached

By some frail pseudopodium

To crystal violet rocks tho toxic

    Aww, is you an amoeba - 'pond-life' in some cases? 'Who you calling pond-life?' you reply. You with your pseudo-thingy. lol.
    But we are specks in the universe, it seems. Man is dust, but important dust.

      what an interesting response orchidee... have you mislaid your purple pills again by any chance..... cheers.... Neville

      • orchidee

        Yes! Thankfully I did not get them mixed up with the blue ones. Woof! Fido knows them too. heehee.

        Clever comparison here Nev. to the cling of seashells with our lonely need for special togetherness - toxic or not. Another verse full of artful expression and composed with such finesse........... Fay

          thank you Fay.. you are very kind and of course I like it... Neville

          • Fay Slimm.

            You know I meant every word - your work is my pleasure to read and interpret.

              I most definitely shell have to agree for there was a time when all i could do was clam up.
              Now fortunately i am able to reveal the occasional pearl.
              As are you with this initially perplexing piece. Now i see it clearly.... i am a bottom dweller... some would say 'an old fart'.

              • Neville

                It warms the cockles of my heart to hear that you have come out of your shell and felt able to visit these words... you are always more than whelk come sir... cheers DA.. made me chuckle so ya did... Neville

                That attachment is so meaningful and must remain secure.

                • Neville
