For Reference Purposes Only
When you eventually find these words
read each one of them slowly and take
them in deep ..
Then, consign them to shelves both safe
and not far away ..
But within easy reach and for reference
purposes only of course …

I cannot say what that lass said to me, when I did meet her. 'Tis as the title of this poem! heehee.
of course not, a true guinea-pig never tells .................................................................................. N 🙂
Slowing reading and finding near-at-hand special shelves for these hidden-deep romantic lines to be kept within reach and maybe peruse - to check if I'm right in my interpretation.........x
I think you are probably quite write dear lady .. I have never yet known ya to be anything else ... 🙂 x
lol
is this you, at your playfully abstract, meaningfully surrealist
poetically mystical, self?
ok! I like it...
like everything else you've ever penned!
a funtastic head twister, if you permit me to be so bold, my friend
to be honest, I am not entirely sure where the inspiration for this little scribble came from .. maybe a subliminal attempt to promote my most recent anthology 'The Logic of Fools' .. or a very early advertisement of 'Cotton Girls & Paper Boys' due out later this year, or early next .. much depends on this bloomin virus .............................................. Cheers my Friend .. if by chance you hit on the answer to your question, please share it with me ........... Neville
I don't know about answers, but
I've just updated my shopping list!!!
Congrats, my friend
Thanks for the heads-up 😎

Such words of import would surely be filed in readily available scrolls of my mind sir!
To lay them to rest elsewhere would be disrespectful, nay foolhardy.
Good on ya DA ....................................................................................................................... N 🙂
Love it, Neville.
A head twister for sure.
Thank you Jerry ....................................................... I invariably appreciate your visits sir 🙂
The poem reminds me of a game we played in an Ad Agency I worked in back in the day. The object was to have an ongoing conversation getting as close to saying something as you can without actually crossing the line.
Example:
“The purpose of this meeting is to supply the copy department with suggestions.”
“About what?”
“The situation as a whole.”
“Well, it probably should be used.”
“But it has become unreliable.”
“Well, that’s how the mop-flops.”
If you crossed the line you bought the first round after work.
....................................... sounds like fun to me Jerry ... make my next one a double 🙂
Bourbon’s and rocks.
That'll do nicely sir ........................ 🙂
A nice read
I am delighted you should think so, that will do just nicely .................. Cheers, Neville 🙂
I resemble that remark, Nev.
My book case complies with the Iron Law Of the Thirds: One third, read; a third, part read; remaining third to be read...soon.
You mean to tell me you bought one or two of mine ... I noticed sales down under had gone up .. if so, my chosen charities mental health & cancer research will be delighted ........... N 🙂
Could be.......perhaps.....maybe.....D
