Pre-date-Her

Neville

Pre-date-Her

 

somewhere in the margin

she waits ..

like an anaconda, pike or

crocodile ..

while the smell of flat fish

grilling

and the sound of us both

splashing

in the shallows ..

served only to excite her

even more ..

although not a single one

believed us

did they darling ..

they were all far too busy

preening ..

and of course, quite simply ..

otherwise

most deliciously engaged ..

  • Fay Slimm.

    A wee peep into group excitement remembered and recounted with expert ability in just a few intriguing lines. Fantastic word-play again dear Sir N............x

    • Neville



      You are always so very kind to this old fella Fay .. and as always, many sincere thanks from him to thee .. x

    • L. B. Mek

      a beautifully picturesque scene
      love the playful elements
      couldn't help but be inspired to try
      and scribble a feeble poetic reply
      thank you Hyung, yet again
      cheque's in da post
      (vivid memento's burdened
      with a twinning paradoxical
      reservoir
      of pooling significance..
      see
      those scenic recalling, reverie's
      however idyllic, come served
      aside a biting, searing
      afterglow, resonance of that longing
      to experience it all, afresh
      anew
      again n again, in a loop
      of rewardingly effervescent
      cyclicality..
      'once more, dear fate
      take us back, once more...')

        I am replete sir and truly

      • orchidee

        All I know is, KP waits like an old trout!
        Bet you knew I was gonna say that. lol. It's the botox, you see.

        • Neville



          why I am not surprised .. not in the slightest .. 🙂

        • arqios

          ..."pre-date" that is quite an intriguing concept. That sounds almost quite like a functional screening process.

            I'm trying to keep one step ahead of my self .. but find it increasingly difficult because I'm surrounded by predators 🙂

            • arqios

              As should we all! Safety First, as a famous adage states.

            • Bella Shepard

              Your analogy to a predator waiting patiently, stimulated by movement of it's prey is most engaging. Little do we know what lurks when we do not observe. Such a good write my friend.

              • Neville



                You have a good eye Bella & a heart as big as a planet .. thank you .. Neville

              • Doggerel Dave

                I have a feeling for the folks in the latter half of your write, Nev: them as can mind their own business.....

                • Neville



                  Now then, is that a feeling, or a thought Dave .. maybe ?

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    There's a kind of rightness in their position.....perhaps?
