Now Looking Back With Anticipation
Slow down child
don’t wish
your life away
like that ..
We know its late
but the cogs
and the wheels
are still turning ..
And while
I dare not look
back to see
what the future
might hold
by consulting
the leaves in my
new china
teacup darling ..
Each swirling
earl grey
murmeration
that I previously
found there ..
Now fills me
to the very brim
with much
love and indeed,
joyful anticipation ..

A fine write N.
Doh! All I see in me tea leaves is KP asking for more money for botox!
She will end up a ghostly trout-like apparition! heehee.
a hauntingly beautiful image
This poem is so moving dear Nev. It speaks to me of our children, of the hope and anticipation we have for their future, and of the love and pride we feel as we watch them blossom, as we knew they would. A father's heart here, I think. Beautiful!!
I am thrilled that you should think so positively and encouragingly Bella .. I am without doubt mightily chuffed .. All Good Things, Neville
With the sole exception of the tea choice, I cannot but feel myself in your position ( without the little 'un with whom to dispense absolutely valid advice).
You know all the write buttons to press don'tcha you old dog .. many thanks mate and tis mighty good to have you back sir Dave
Gotta keep on trying....
May that anticipation bring much joy and love to your life Neville.
Andy
One just has to work at it Andy .. cheers Andy .. Neville
