A Jar of Nuthatch
In the heel
of a ball
of mistletoe
A jar
of Nuthatch
sang
the blues
While
elsewhere
he drew so
very deep
and oh’ so
very, very slow
Upon his
Marlborough
Then through
closed eyes
he could not
help
but think
both long and
hard on you ...

Not often I get to read a final line with a 'hard on' in it.
In a relaxation of a daydream world where brainwaves untertake their magic changes a Lear like nonsense pervades and our desires submit to our weirdness of autosuggestion as she again enters the realm of desire.
I hope that's not to far from an understanding of your writing today.
On another note. Good to see you posting here again, you're missed when absent.
Thank you so bloomin much for those words of encouragement DA .. they really are both welcome and sincerely appreciated ............ oh' n not far off the mark at all sir
Neville
as a fan of Plath, I can't help but relate
that bell jar of madness your words depict
witnessing reality
through that legacy prism of empathetic - insight
within her poetic vision
for vitality: within remembrance
of our heart's, stubbornly treasured veracity...
I read and learn, with humble gratitude my friend
we should all take a leaf out of your book my friend ... and just for the record, thanking you is so very easy ..
Welcome back Nev with your reflective and dreamy romantic Jar of Nuthatch - even a slow drink of Marlborough's not able to hide the longing in those few final words. - -- sighs and aaahs aplenty for this clever gem of a blues song .........x
......... thank you for the welcome back Fay, tis muchly appreciated my friend ... since moving, my muse seems to have gone walkabout .. until early this very mane ... x
Good write N.
Thank you kindly Steven ..
Looks like we've both been away - anyway it's great to see you posting and in such good form. Not sure when I'll be posting as my art arm is currently busier than it has been for many a long day. Did the move go well?
... Hello Michael and thank you for visiting these words .. Yes, the move went well .. am still unpacking but could not be happier .. Shall be hanging your picture up very soon .. Take care my friend n stay well ..
...Neville

Sometimes an edufication is to be found on MPS. Despite my misgivings, I did seek the assistance of Prof Google (not always cooperative) and managed with a struggle to discover what these Nut something or others were, plus their collective noun...
Mistletoe ball still an ongoing project.....
Marlboroughs? Smoked those coffin nails for years - but that was forty years ago
Finally? at the end? Still able to think hard lengthy thoughts....after a fashion. 🙂
Thanks for it all, Neville.
Ditto the sentiments expressed above re your move.
Thank you kindly and true Dave .. they are the only bird in this world that can run directly both up and down a tree ... or for that matter, anything else that stands erect ... so be careful and keep ya eyes open sir ... 🙂
Neville
Orright - I'll have to stop raising the flag at dawn and doing the salute.....nothing much else I can think of....
