The Deserter

The Deserter

A Poem by Neville

The Deserter

 

Occasionally

An old face may return

Like a Swallow from Africa

Like a cold sore in winter

Each deserter gives inspiration

However

Only a handful

Ever make the headlines

'The Deserter'
Neville,
What stands out at one point in a moment can surly be forgotten with time until it's not. what can start that old song playing, a memory singing. A letter recieved, card arrived. Who knows. To me this was the replay or focus on the what was. Once real then forgotten untill it's reality once again arrives again.
Blessings,
Kathy

'Like a cold sore in winter' is a cracking line. It is straight from a knocked about but undefeated soul. I wonder who's deserting from what .. guess we can desert from all sorts of circumstances, relationships, friendships, responsibilities, this n that.

N O wasted words.

Circe, your reviews make one feel so darn good. You clearly put as much into them as you do your own creations. Thank you again. AGT's N

it's interesting that you chose to make example of the deserter, there could be so many interpretations of that, the deserter like a traveler who can't stay in one place for too long, it's like they have gypsy blood, or someone who is prone to leaving to avoid commitment or responsibility or those who can't face what they've done, you seem to suggest a pattern of deserting behaviour and those experiences revisiting us later down the track, but they hardly make the headlines, because we don't give them due credit or do they come and go so often that we don't notice their significance? it's a very thought-provoking piece.
