There was never really that much to say about his life, that is ..

In fact, they managed to say everything

in seventeen syllables and three lines, well placed ..

    Two hundred and fifty thousand lines of grief, and probably some of them died under the pretence of covid just to get them on their way. Here's to the next one with the fancy name.

      Ithought I'dseen it before but quickly realised its syllables this time around.
      Lines can be long or short.

          Neville,

          It’s a variant indeed…ever so present!
          It’s been nice to “see” you.

          Thank you for sharing.

              Certainly a variant Nev. - -- even within the title an important rephrasing - -- a life lived sadly shows tragic mind-sets and I guess that three lines would cover it's negative life-style - - - the read raises pity for those in such mental states - - - an interesting difference in postings mon ami ..................x

                I have noted that you noted my friend ....................................................................................... x

                  Always my pleasure to get beneath your surface phrasing and note the intrigue hiding away between your evocative lines.......x

                    A word, a punctuation, a rephrase, can change a meaning, make a difference. It's great.

                    • Neville



                      You are indeed a credit to the word astute my friend ............. bless you n truly .. 🙂

                      Think I'm lost on this one but 3 lines can send anyone over the edge... just stick with the one! Lol

                      Hope your well my friend

                      • Neville



                        I am fine my friend, but you did make me chuckle sir Dan ... not to be sneezed at sir ...................................................... Go well, safe and good .................................................................... Neville

                        • Poetic Dan

                          Sneezy is long in the past glad we both got a laugh
