From a Certain Distance

From a Certain Distance

 

Her beauty

From a distance

Was comparable with

The setting of the sun

 

Withdrawn

And going down

On me yet available

To all and each and everyone

Generosity of spirit, this is what came across to me Neville in your short poem. And yet, there is sadness there.

Good morning

Chris

[Neville]

I can be that way inclined... thank you Chris and top of the morn to you too... N

[Chris Shaw]

Another hot one by the looks of it and I have a journey to go on today, which I am not looking forward to. Have a good day.

[Neville]

and you....

"You Can Have some Too"
Neville Pettitt,
This poem read like a goodbye with a smile. To acknowledge what has been and know that you were part of it's beauty. Relational experiences are like that In every arena. We look back with disdain or pleasant pondering. The first line; "You can have some too, "she said." Ending with "available to everyone." I found this really fun and could identify with how life can play out.
blessings,
Kathy

[Neville]

Thank you so very much dear friend, you stopping to consider this page is truly appreciated and ever welcome.... N

[Kathy Van Kurin]

I wondered if my comprehension of your meaning was way off. I tried. Hope you are having a good spring and maybe getting some outside things done is possible.

[Neville]

your comprehension is very good my friend & yes, the weather here has been dry and sunny for a change.... N

[Mrudula Rani]

Your muse is gorgeous and generous. And made this exquisite writing possible.

[Neville]

It's an oldie & a long long time ago but my memory is still good and visits such as yours make up for that these days............Thank you muchly......Neville

[Mrudula Rani]

Wonderful writers and their creations never age! It is always a great pleasure reading your poems. Abraço

[Neville]

Tell that to my knees & back &...........x

[Mrudula Rani]

Most of the athletes ( very young ones too) have the same problems!

[Neville]

Okay, onwards & upwards it is then....

[Karen Redburn]

Wow, there is an awful lot here in this short poem. But, I am not entirely sure I understand it fully. Never mind, I caught a few bits that surprised me. Will just go back and read a few more times. Nice job!

[Neville]

Bless ya Karen....N

I really liked this one, except, and maybe it is just the Canadian in me, as I miss some things occasionally - "unyet" confuses me. Nevermind, how ever, still a great write.

[Neville]

Ha ha, so this is unlikely to have unsurpassed universal appeal after all then. I never realised that 'unyet' is one of those words. Interestingly, 'Word' and my spell checker don't like it either.. We do use it though over here from time to time, 'well at least I do'

I hope that someone else out there will back me up otherwise I am gonna have to search through every darn bit of writing I have ever 'writ' - Hey, KLGoode please tell me do, is the word 'fortnight' one with which you are familiar. Whenever I have been in the USA and used it everyone looked at me blankly. Just interested that's all. Cheers, N

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, we Canadians are familiar with the word, but mostly as something in literature or school.

[Neville]

Gosh, old then x

[Sami Khalil]

Nice poem. I love the setting sun.

[Neville]

[Sami Khalil]

So true. You are welcome.
