No Such Thing as Empty Space

Neville

No Such Thing as Empty Space

 

To those who might at first suppose

the white space between the somewhat ubiquitous title

and the footnote down there are both empty

or for that matter wasted, please take note

there is no such thing in my book

  • Caring dove

    Emptiness and spaces can be filled … they don’t always have to be empty .

    • Neville

    • Fay Slimm.

      Ha - - good to see you posting again Nev..... but I now question - how could a talented mind such as you possess ever be accused of spacial emptiness ?..........x

      • Neville

        Sometimes emptiness can be filled
        Sometimes let emptiness be there
        Maybe at times vaccum is also needed
        A great thought left behind
        Thanks to those empty spaces in life

        • Neville



          Thank you so very much for checking in and considering these words of mine my friend .. a much appreciated visit and true ................................ N

        • dusk arising

          I have been described as both a waste of space and a waste of good food.
          I note that many empty spaces have been filled with your wily poetic wit on mps so bring on all the more spaces to tempt your poetic wiles.

            Bless ya my friend .. & no kiddin ... my Mum oft used to say waste not, want not ............................ took me yonks to understand where she was coming from ............................................... N

            'white/blank space = opportunity
            making its presence, felt...'
            a great shorty, thanks for sharing dear Poet
            (although, its completely the opposite for me
            when it comes to the absence of those, we were once
            alphabet-close - to, in our poetry of life;
            distance and loss in our relationships
            is somewhat inevitable in our lives, but
            so is the passing pain, they bring)

            • Neville



              That's another way of looking at it my friend .......... so glad you got my back covered ............ N

            • orchidee

              • Doggerel Dave

                Smells (and I mean this in the best possible sense) a little like a Zen koan to me, Nev...........

                • Neville



                  a Zen Koan will always do it for me DD .. thank you kindly you old dog .. I'll take that as a compliment sir .. (wot no jokes about a Leonard Koan) .... Neville πŸ™‚

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Come on Nev, you should know I could never take LC's name in vain........

                  • Goldfinch60

                    True words Neville, as I come towards my book of life there is no such thing as any empty spaces.

                    • Neville

                    • Garth Rakumakoe

                      Miles Davis once said even the silence between the notes is musical. I can definitely identify sir.

                          A brilliant subject I think can be brought upon almost anything in life
