Ukraine in Winter

Neville


Notice of absence from Neville
If I get the thumbs up tomorrow from my Doc, I hope to be in Miami on Friday for three days before jumping ship and spending three weeks sailing around South America .. Sheesh, what we do to try n get a touch of inspiration eh' .. Take care while I'm away & please forgive any delay in my going quiet for a while .. Hope to return feeling better than I do write at this moment .. AGT's Neville 😎👍

Ukraine in Winter

 

While our children die starving and cold

in these holes

they randomly punch in the snow ..

 

Despite most of the free world praying

out loud, I can still see

a blue and gold flag waving and proud ..

    • Fay Slimm.

      Too easy indeed my friend to not only imagine but strive to seek further aid for these innocent victims of battling politics - -- a needed reminder indeed.............x

      • Neville



        a BIG warm thank you to you dear lady Fay .. x

        What is it in the human soul that will not allow us to succumb in the direst of situations. Is it faith, fervor, strength, a firm belief in what is truly right and wrong? You pay homage to all that binds us together dear poet in that wonderful last line.

          Shocking isn't it .. but until the world is put to writes, I thank you from the very bottom of my heart for your continued interest in so many of my scribbles and the support you afford me .. Neville

          Apposite reminder of a hideous situation existing while most of us enjoy the festive season, Nev.

            Indeed sir, well spotted & there was me trying to be both subtle & tactful .. Neville

              It is held so high you don't need to have the eyes of an eagle do ya Goldfinch60 .. thank you

              and Defiantly! proud
              long in-to Spring's gusts
              may their flag be raised
              fluttering and high
              as I fear we'll still be hoping
              and wishing, when Easter's festivities roll around...
              an important write, thank you Hyung

              • Neville



                While I still have the bit between my teeth, I feel it necessary to do my bit ..... Thanks again Mek .. N
