Over The Hill

Neville

Over The Hill

 

Over the hill

Not far away

There is an acre

Unfulfilled

 

Tis where indeed

This ache of mine

Lies oft ploughed

Yet rarely tilled

    • Neville

      thank you my friend...

    • sylviasearcher

      I started a poem like that once, it ended with a different kind of ache though

      There was a longing in this one maybe?

      • Neville

        thank you sylviasearcher my friend.... yes, maybe you are write.... there are so many types of ache aren't there.. some aint so bad... some we kinda want a little bit more of and some.. well ...

        • sylviasearcher

          Sigh!

          • Neville

            yep.. tis those ones we sigh for ya know..

          • dusk arising

            Indeed we should all acknowledge our allotted acre of desire and tend it with ambition.

            Today we see the sage within you.

            • Neville

              thanks DA.. I was hoping someone might see beyond the obvious.... and what a glorious day it is too... Have a good one mate.. N

            • Fay Slimm.

              That acre sounds familiar my friend cos I have one of those too..........such a clever concept Nev. and writ with beguiling covert.

              • Neville

                beguiling covert are my two middle names... thank you mighty big our Fay...

                I no longer have a plot of land, thus all I can do is........
                but that's OK too
                no acre, just ache

                Throughly enjoyed this one

                P.S.
                I was granted a wish to tweet-
                In my excitement a typo error-
                ache instead of acre

                Well now I gotta live it- Cest la vie

                • Neville

                  thank you my friend .. much appreciated and of course always welcome....

                  PS: and truly N

                  Neville,

                  An interesting and thought provoking write! Many interpretations to be considered!

                  • Neville

                    • Laura🌻

                      If I do, I’ll share...

                      You’re very welcome...

                      Time to break new ground. Nothing grows on plowed land, except wild things. Proper care must be given to grow the intended crop.
                      Short and very allegorical. I love the breadth of meaning/s: Land and desire, aging and desire, growth and status-quo, work and idleness, etc. Let's all take the time to nurture our relationships. - Phil A.

                      • Neville


                        You visiting this particular post from almost exactly a year ago is very much appreciated Phil, as is your understanding of it sir....

                        ... Neville
