Fleeced

Neville

Fleeced

 

There is a black sheep

in the green field

behind where I’m sitting ..

Yet in certain light,

it looks almost golden ..

But then, upon

closer inspection ..

When the creases unfold,

I notice my own sad reflection ..

      sometimes a little bit of positivity is like stumbling upon the golden fleece .. thanks for feeling it my way my friend .. Neville

      This feels like a black shadow lurking in the background. Makes me think of negative thoughts or even depression. The golden ones are much more positive. Make sure you sit in the sun and not the shade. This poem can be interpreted in different ways. Thatโ€™s what I read on the tin. Happy Thursday Neville.

          I'll write this with trepidation-

          Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.x

            I've never participated in co-writing anything with anyone .. but I suggest the pair of you get it copywritten quickly before someone else comes along and nicks it .. Neville

                I hear GP pelts make a pretty penny these days & their meat tastes like chicken ..

              • Teddy.15

                Oh Neville, how very sad and so not true โค๏ธ however the emotion written in this is extraordinary along with the profound imagery. ๐ŸŒน

                • Neville



                  I am indeed delighted that you should smile so favourably upon my little scribble Teddy .. ๐ŸŒน

                  A compelling read, Neville. I get the feeling of optimism, yet melancholy at the same time. Very intriguing piece.

                  • Neville



                    Cheers mate, that'll do nicely .. Neville

                  • Thomas W Case

                    Very relatable. Great work.

                    • Bella Shepard

                      Memories and emotions, inextricably linked. They run the gamut of who we are, and how we deal with them. Your poem is such food for thought, for those days will come when we're lost in them.

                      • Neville



                        That's precisely the fuel that serves to encourage and promote my ongoing motivations Bella .. Many thanks for your ongoing support and considerable considerate considerations .. Your friend ME ๐Ÿ™‚
