Almost a Very Nearly

Neville

Almost a Very Nearly

 

Waiting for the tide to turn

Bobbing up and down

Bow and belly kissed by waves

  • Fay Slimm.

    Intriguing yet describing a timid bather methinks -- did you make it in and really get wet ?...............x

    • Neville



      maybe my recent scribbles have been a little too abstract ... nevertheless I think your take is seriously cool ................................................................................................................................ this was inspired by my watching the little boats in our local harbour this very mane ..........................:)

      • Doggerel Dave

        Keep up the good work, Fay – you solve Nev’s enigmatic little ‘scribbles’ and restore balance to the world and my sanity. Kudos.
        Neville – Well dun once more, Sir

        • Fay Slimm.

          Oooh - I stand corrected Nev - -- never thought of just boats - ha - -- serves me right for imagining too much...............x

          • Neville



            no need Fay .. I love the way ya stand regardless .. and anyway, we scribblers need a bit of give n take dont we .. Oh' and I thought your take was not only on target but probably way better than mine .............................. 🙂

            • Neville



              Now where's the old dog gone ... it seems that Fay has the magic touch innit sir .............. cheers Dave 🙂

              • Doggerel Dave

                De - efinitely, Nev - I trust Fay's judgement, and the problem (one way or another) is resolved........

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Just had a another read Nev of this well-captured gem and can now see those boats rocking serenely before the storm breaks as is supposed when wind changes - - hope 'tho' you find them bobbing along just the same tomorrow my lubbly..............x

                  • Neville



                    Hope so too Fay ... tonight the storms are gonna hit us so bloomin hard ........................ Thank goodness Michael Fish retired and we had plenty of notice ...................... and thanks again me lovely 🙂 x

                  • L. B. Mek

                    been out in choppy rivers have we?
                    almost, can be a wonderful word of relief
                    or a lifetime's nightmare of regret,
                    guess it all, rests
                    on a flip of luck's - temperamental tide
                    if you will..
                    another fun shorty, my friend
                    thank you

                    • Neville



                      Thank you L.B ......................... Neville 🙂

                    • dusk arising

                      Waves tickling at the bow, she'll have her way, making way when that tides floats her.

                      • Neville

                            impudent butterfly
                            sits on kings crown

                            • Neville
