Remember Frieda

I will leave it entirely up to you, at least for the time being.................

Remember Frieda

Why does she no longer submit fresh words here for us to consider

Why does she no longer leave a trace of herself   

behind     

I suspect because you frightened her

 away  

Just like you have so many

 others

Do you remember  

Frieda

?

 

 

Author's Note

Not everyone here will understand or appreciate these words, but many of you will & of course, then there's you. We both know who you are

Yes, absolutely miss her and always will. She was my writing mentor, my spirit lifter - plus, we even had our own form of Italian! She was my extra sister - and always will be. I went to Puglia to see where her history laid.. tis an incredible place with extraordinary 'architecture'! And so was she extraordinary.

Your words are a tribute, Neville, as well as a reminder that we have had special people as well as villains in this Cafe's history. Many thanks for sharing.

[Cassie]

Emma, how are you doing. You have spoken well of our dear Frieda, I wonder if she remembers us as much as we do. She always brightened WC

[Neville]

I never once thought these words of mine would see the light of day again, but am so glad they have been allowed one more airing and I must thank you for being the catalyst behind their resurrection emmajoygreen ..
Yes indeed, Frieda was a very special individual and likewise deserves to have her memory preserved for all time here in the café where she made so many others feel comfortable, wanted and special ..
She clearly left her mark on you, as she has me and sharing her with other café users both old and new is nowt but a privilege .. Kindly, Neville

[emmajoygreen]

Would it be misunderstood to say I loved that dear woman. I think we shared something neither of us understood, she led me into self and turned me into a do what you will cos you can. I saw her as a fragile woman who was a very strong Frieda. Best way I can put it. Can't say more. sorry.

[Neville]

folk will be folk and far too often only see what they choose to see, or hear what they are told .. but I am sure at least, I know what you mean.

[emmajoygreen]

You are so right! Those self-selected thoughts are like confetti, they spread their nothings to nowhere but end up wretchedly conspicuous - as sadly intended

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, I remember Frieda... always read my humble poems like a 🐝 Bee to
Nectar she did please. Perhaps she will return with Spring blossoms of a new beginning with votes of love and devotion. truly, Pat

[Neville]

wouldn't that be lovely.. thank you Pat x

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

I’m regretful that I did not know her Neville, as I have read many positive comments about her. It blows me away to read your tribute to her and realize that a troll on-site hurt her so much. The form and flow of your words are lovely, and the ending of the poem with that question mark is truly touching. I hope she knows that you and many others here remember her and that she has healed and is still writing. It is abhorent that such a thing happens here. Thank you for so eloquently reminding us of that, and of Freida.

[Neville]

thank you Annette for helping with your comment to keep her memory alive...and many thanks indeed for this very welcome visit.. Neville

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Always a pleasure my friend!

[Neville]

bless you Annette.. thank you & true

Having heard of Frieda, but never seeing her work, I can understand how damaging trolls can be. Having left one Writing Group myself for this reason many years ago, I discovered this site, which has the mechanism for blocking these menaces, Two trolls have now "bit the dust", but they were inarticulate, anyway.
Norm.

[Neville]

Cheers Sir Norm.. yes indeed the old block button can come in very handy at times.. stay warm and stay well my friend...

[NotUsinganymore]

Very nice, I assume it's a love poem. It had a good meaning. c:

[Neville]

No.. not a love poem, but more an admiration and a miss you poem.. thank you tho... and I do mean that.. cheers N

[NotUsinganymore]

Thank you!

[Mrudula Rani]

I understand how frightened Frieda must have felt, and finally left this lovely place. We are here on WC to write, share and appreciate the writings of each other and a friendship that's pure and wholesome, but some insist on making this site a place of exchanging intimate feelings. That is very frustrating and scary. I hope she is well and still writing to her heart's content.

[Neville]

Bless ya M and so say all of us... or at least most of us say that.. unfortunately, some folk can be most unpleasant and even downright nasty :)

[Mrudula Rani]

By the time we find out what they are and what they are after, it is always too late and too hard to put an end to their unwanted advances. Thank you dear Neville,for reminding us and remembering a wonderful writer.

[Neville]

It is such a shame, but it had to be said.. yes, she was kinda good, wasn't she...

[Lorry]

She won't be alone in leaving due to the nasty side of the keyboard arsewipes. I only hope that anonymous turn their attention to them. Lets see how these f**k-nuggets like it when theyare hacked and we all see what we always expected, a flabby, cheeto eating virgin, who lives in his parents bedroom and will most likely die there, un-noticed.
(i am wildly stereotyping here, but we all know im right) :)
Can't really blame her to be honest. Have you seen the latest arsehole on here? A spammer, spamming spammers??? & ? The ubertwat is born!

[Neville]

Blooming well right on the proverbial nails head mate... and then some...... and then some f*****g more.... Neville

'Remember Frieda'
Neville Pettitt,
This poem brought me a to a state of caution...to be be aware of the vulnerability of the hearts of others. The fine line between honesty and saying and hurting a soul. You penned your lovely and thoughtful thoughts beautifully and in a way to bring contemplation. Be careful with our hearts and with the hearts of others. I needed this reminder. Thank You and bless Frieda.
Blessings,
Kathy

[Neville]

Bless you Kathy dear friend... and thank you too of course.. Neville

[Stella Armour]

i remember Frieda, she was a lovlely , spirited and funny lady who wrote fantastic poetry and was a great assett to this site who trolls targeted from what i could see out of pure jealousy ...

[Neville]

of course you do.. bless ya Stella my friend and I am sure you are write on each of those counts... N

[Chris Shaw]

Neville, I never knew Frieda, but I have heard from others here how sorely she is missed. If she left because of another, that is so sad to learn. It is wonderful that you are thinking of her today and I am sure you will get many visitors here who will second that. All good wishes for you
dear Neville.


Chris

[Neville]

[Cassie]

[Neville]
