You, Me and My Dog
If I could be
somewhere else today ..
Then I would
chose to be anywhere
in Somerset ..
Just as long as you were
right there,
beside me and my dog ..
Blame It on Saint Malo
Saint Malo, is where
I found truth ..
But where I also left
my innocence
and indeed my youth ..
So long ago
and very far behind me ..
Yet now tho’
in particular, I do recall
her fingers
like a harpist or some
young croupiers
so long, so slender, quick
and very cool ..

Good writes N.
I of course will fail to see the links between two poems if they are the least bit cryptic. If there are any links, that is. lol.
there are none so don't fret ..
A border terrorist, is that like a border collie? You always get me thinking farther than my lazy brain wants to go, particularly on a Sunday. I think that border terrorist is guarding the border between Summerset and France. Oh oh my insanity is showing through. Great write Neville
she's a border terrier .. thanks for taking a peek .. sorry for the headache .. N
Zummerzet where the Zider apples grow....
Saint Malo - Got the title late in life, but behind his cassock he knew a thing or two........
You got it you old dog Dave ..
I traveled in Somerset, once. Went into a pub there, and the barman said I should try the local cider. I should not have listened to that man.
Never been to Saint Malo, but trust you remember it well. Perhaps more than just fingers. - Phil A.
the local stuff can be lethal .. the uninitiated think it tastes like a soft drink but it can kick like a mule .. and St Malo is something else too 🙂
One of these is brilliant and moving, the other a flop! (-:
I must try to do better next time
And my little dog - Stanley. As for the second it was caravan park on the Isle of Wight - ah memories.
Ooh err Matron ....... say hi to Stan M .. N
I have never been to St Malo. Seems you have some very clear memories of a long time ago when you were young and innocent. On the other hand I have been to Somerset many times and have memories of very happy family holidays there. I love your first poem Neville. It speaks to me of you wishing you were in your home territory with those you love best.
St' Malo is one of them must see places Cassie .. you really should check it out .. ta for checking in .. N
Yes, very cool indeed. Is she gone? Is the dog? Well done.
No, she's with me most of the time .. cheers
Those ladies of yours seem to be all over the world Neville.
Andy
