Outsiders
Nowhere, is as cold as here,
nor as vast,
yet with no place to hide,
or to shelter
from all of this preventable
fallout, indeed
we are hopeless outsiders ..
Somewhat
fragile and inextricably lost ..

Neville this metaphoric poem resonates out of my past into my present. Remembering walking the vast open expanses at times lost and now with age those expanse become something else but the same. Great write
Cool ........... many huge thanks sorenbarrett so very muchly appreciated .. Neville
Yes - both metaphor and reality inextricably locked together Neville.
To call it chilling is almost too corny and obvious... but it is.
Short, I like here, Cold and hard.

When I read it a second time , I imagined that NOWHERE was a place close enough to travel to but was too far to travel back

Eastern promises are mostly hot air, but (I believe the number is 15) blasts worldwide and we no longer have a planet that can sustain life. So, whoever is guarding the big red button should shoot anyone who tries to push it. - Phil A.
Ah' you got it .. I'm gonna start sleeping under the mattress from now on .. N
but...we are all here together. 😉
True enough .. how comforting is that eh' 🙂
Very comforting Sir N. 😉👍
A poem which I have now read several times. Included in The Making of a Broken Man which is an another cracking anthology from you Neville. Read from back to front, front to back and at random:) The final three lines particularly meaningful and I am sure relatable to many at times of their lives.
I doubt I shall get another review for a very long time that means more to me than the one you just left here for me C .. thanks a million 💜x
💜x ….
Yes, we are. Fantastic work, sir.
Thanks TWC ..
amen. lost in so many different ways. Bombs, plague, pollution of air and water, etc. etc.
Absolutely spot on Dan
So true Neville, we just cannot do anything about the way the world is being led as nobody listens to us.

Nope and it should worry everyone .. I reckon we should form a gang .. or start building shelters ..
