Oedipus

Neville

Oedipus

 

Oedipus my son, you must leave this house forever

go find yourself a wife and lover ..

You can not share mine dear boy, for fuck sake son

Let’s not argue, she’s your mother ..

  • Comment from author about the poem: For those who might prefer the classics, or indeed history, then welcome to a little bit of both .. but Β dont try this at home folks .. my guess is, it would probably go down like a French kiss at a family reunion

            But this complex is a crucial stage in normal development - you’ve just destroyed it! Hehe!

            • Neville



              thank you Roz .. my point exactly ........ that crucial stage however, does have a critical point beyond which any understanding father might begin to sweat somewhat .. yours most appreciatively Me πŸ™‚

              'but don't try this at home folks ..'
              (if only Freud, had heeded these words
              how much of psychology's
              mind fckery
              he could have saved us, literally...)
              lmao
              'blame it all, on that oracle at Delphi
              and those inheritors of life's, guessing games
              questing Poet's and and philosophical sages'
              (loved the humour, you squeezed
              out of this morose tragedy, inking of poetic ill-fate)

                I am glad you thought it so brother Mek .. it is how I intended it to be taken .. very much tongue in cheeky .. have I ever mentioned how I travelled all the way from London to Manchester with the late great Anna Freud .. yep the daughter of the man himself ......................... I personally favour Jung my self ......................................................................... Neville

                  oh wow!!!!!!
                  she's my favourite of the 'celeb' names
                  in your field
                  her words on child psychology and the whole
                  simplifying of the methodologies utilised to treat people
                  and her belief that empathy or simple consideration
                  and respect for the patience, resonated with me best.
                  And yes, while Freud was the much better writer
                  Jung, lived his own theories (shadows)
                  and had it not been for ww2, his view
                  in the connection between the worlds diverse
                  cultural heritages and their ability
                  to curate our mind's, is something
                  I found truly profound..
                  I could go on, but as some hack laymen
                  I would just embarrass myself (even more)
                  just know, that you met Anna Freud
                  has just skyrocketed your standing, in my eyes
                  (have you wrote a poem about meeting her
                  I will go and search it out if you have)
                  This has made my week!!!
                  Anna Feud... WOW!!!!
                  I'm so jealous

                    we shared the same carriage .. I was presenting a four day workshop in Manchester on the management of clinical risk and positive risk taking ............................... we did talk but her minders & they were big fella's didn't seem to like it .... No, I never wrote about it .. sorry ........................ Neville πŸ™‚

                      'but her minders & they were big fella's'
                      lol
                      ah - oh well, still
                      what an awesome memento you have Hyung
                      and I'm still jealous
                      (btw hope you're recovering well)

                      Excellent write dear Neville...It gave me a giggle but you can never go wrong with the classics!

                      • Neville



                        If it made you giggle Ms. C then I feel that I have achieved something .. so thank you my friend and giggle on .................................... N πŸ™‚

                        Oedipus would never prosper by taking up that odious offer - at least in my Chronicles - - mind you I like a bit of poetic history delivered thy way mine clever Sir Neville.

                        • Neville



                          ......................... thank you kindly dear Fay ... Oh' n mums the word okay πŸ™‚ x

                          Oh that awful day when I bent to kiss granny goodbye and she stuck her tongue in my mouth. It tasted of humbugs by the way.

                          • Neville



                            mine did too ................... is it a granny thing or are we related do ya fink ........................... πŸ™‚
