All Bases Covered

Neville

All Bases Covered

 

her name formed

but a small

part of the litany

he once

  wrote for her ..

and which,

he would mouth

over and over

  again ..

indeed, she was

both recited

and sung and then

pinned

with such pride

to the walls

of great temples,

majestic

cathedrals and a

few scattered

shrines

here and there

for PR

purposes and to

  ensure

all known tick boxes

had each

   been suitably crossed ..

    Don't forget... you may see her image on the back of a pancake when you flip it, or in the rust on an old screen door, or waving at you from a cloud as it passes by.

      Suitably crossed and thus applause for this piece is suitable and a joy to relate. Real nice piece and salute to the reverent touch of phrase. Nice write.

        Not sure if you were her agent or her acolyte......
        However I feel you did cover her adequately in so very few words.........

        • Neville



          that'll do nicely sir Dog

            • LIZ

              Very nice!! When I read the word litany immediately I thought...church! The best part though: "for PR purposes"...yep!

              • Neville



                funny how we make such individual associations isn't it LIZ .. cheers 💜

                I believe he wrote for a lover and she became well known, while he remained undiscovered,
                Perhaps, she was a singer?
                This raises all kinds of questions as to the identity of the two characters. A most enjoyable poem. - Phil A.

                  Goodness Neville, you always pull curiosity out of me. I quite wonder what knowing this woman would be like.

                  • Neville



                    she was really quite .............. oops almost forgot, a gentleman never tells .. let's just say pretty decent .. Neville

                    He named the muse, and she stuck to the identity he created for her…I hope that she deserved it, since she didn’t know who she was before then… Reads like a Woody Allen script, so fresh and interesting as always…

                    • Neville



                      thank you very much indeed Parisab ..
