What is it With Poetry
Deliberate and oh’ so
very
slow indeed ..
Much like the opening
and the closing
of a palsied hand ..
I remember being told
or reading
somewhere, long ago
that poetry
is now the oldest
language known to man ..
Read and spoken
everywhere, much like
a single
universal tongue ..
Heard, understood, loved
and indeed
then acted on ..
Probing and empowering
telling truths
and likewise lies
then sharing sublime
secrets ..
Taking moments sacred
stored for
posterity and later savoured ..

In olden days ye poetic stirrings began, with thee and thou, and whoever else! lol.
Verily, indeed ............................................. perhaps 🐧 maybe I should thank thee too 🐭
Dear Neville,
A telescope of what is…
POETRY
Nicely executed!👏
I’m appreciating today’s writing from you very much.
Laura 🌻
you have filled my afternoon with a golden glow and deep joy ma'am .. thank you Laura 🌻x
Poetry is a good way to express ourselves ))
A nice poem 🙂
I quite agree .. thank you VB 🐧🦋🌸:)
Poetry... the language of the heart? 🤔
................. You got it squire don'tcha 🌹
Fifty-six years of loving the same girl/woman automatically leads you down a road of poetic bliss. That's all the training a Muse needs. 😉
I don't visit very often now, so I feel lucky to have caught you, Neville. 'Thought you were away, navigating the world with a white stick....
Glad you are not.
I noticed & have been wondering why and hoping you might reconsider .. I have been away, in Albania to be precise with a bit of a holiday tacked on at the end to make the whole affair seem more of a fun thing .. and under the circumstances, consider my self well n truly honoured .. cheers Dave ... Neville
Brilliant!
'your talented fingertips
serenading
our Poesy's heartstrings'
... I can almost feel a swoon coming on .. Cheers my very fine literary friend .. Neville
Hello dear Nev, so lovely to be able to come by and write something once more, you are of such poetic beauty that when people read your poems they relate deeply of course I can only really speak on behalf of myself but I truly mean it, your deep sense of truth that's spills out from beyond your poetic heart will always keep me coming back to read more. 🤗
Hello Teddy what an absolute thrill it was to see you have visited .. You are, as always very kind to this old fella and I sincerely hope you are planning to stay around for a while ... actually, a very long while indeed .. 🌹x
Without it I'd not have one of your books on shelve or found many other souls that showed me a reflection of self!
Poetry be that glue between me and you lol
Always a pleasure
Wow Dan .. I just knew you were a man of your word .. now you're a man of mine too .. Bless you my friend .. Here's hoping that you n the gang have a FAB weekend .. Cheers from a very grateful Neville
Poetry is a fascinating subject that has connected people across cultures, distance, and time. I'm honored to be witnessing your impact on the art. 🙂
It is a real pleasure, as well as a true honour felt, to have you make the journey with me .. so many thanks, for both those gifts, my friend .. Neville
