Self Portrait

 

These words are intended as nothing more than a Warning to those of you that might otherwise

Stumble across this cultural scar of mine

Watch where you tread

Take care ahead

Beware

[sette]

I like this poem a lot.. so curious about the cultural scar..lol

[Neville]

it's just an old war wound..... thanks for touching down.... N

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I think you are trying to hypnotize me Nev. How is that working so far?...just look deeply into my eyes and let me see if I know who you wish to be. :P

[Neville]

Working so far.. okay, so share what you see....N

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I don't know if this makes any sense Nev, but I see a time keeper, a riddler, a dead man's dream...a tunnel to eternity with red shutter cover. it's a maze...a path..enduring...everlasting...Ill keep winding to see what I can see.

[Neville]

Fascinating Queenie... a lot makes sense, do keep winding...... N

[Coyote Poetry]

A warning. You are writing like a story of a raven. Be careful not to be wrapped-up into another person or things thoughts. Thank you Neville. I did enjoy this one.

[Coyote Poetry]

I did like this one and you are welcome Neville.

[Neville]

Cheers again John......... Neville

We look but see what we w ant.. sometimes more, sometimes less. Even self sees and feels differently , depends on what and how mind and heart dictates. Perhaps. Sometimes harder we look, less we see; other times we overthink. See next to nothin g. Perhaps. Working on this one.

Unusual lay out.. eye-catching for specific reason. Words whispering, calling, demanding, inviting,. 'Notice!'

[Neville]

perception is 'the interpretation of stimuli received via the senses, past present and future'... one definition I remember distinctly from uni days... thank you for popping in Emmajoy..keep looking won'tcha ... N

[emmajoy]

Of course.

[Onlyme]

Nice perspective looking closer and closer, deeper and deeper, into......

[Neville]

yep... it's a whole new world down here..... cheers Dee.............. N

[Onlyme]

So very true Neville, the deeper we look into ourselves. We maybe do not like what we find out or see somethings.

[Chris Shaw]

Thinking about this one. I have been looking closely, very closely, but obviously not hard enough. I'll come back and try again after a large glass of wine. That always helps!

[Neville]

When I originally wrote this it was on the back of a stamp & the words looked like they might in the bottom of a tea cup, like my own head, which of course is full of nothing more than words... Have that glass anyway, and on me...........Neville

[Chris Shaw]

Wot, your head in the bottom of a teacup. Just look at the imagery you have given me, and not one sip of wine has passed my lips yet.

[Neville]

better get a move on.....

[Lyn Anderson]

I am tying this to current affairs and thinking it's somehow connected. I remember tying my own personal situation to September 11 at the time -- portents of war and dread, tied to ones' own personal woes -- at least, that's how I relate.

[Neville]

Bless ya my dear friend, I really do enjoy it when you pop in................ Neville

[Amanda Trerotola]

I related the same way, Lyn as I also have a personal situation to September 11th.

[Neville]

I am so sorry to hear that but thank you for sharing...Neville

[barleygirl]

Your strangely repeating word play doesn’t paint a fraction of what I see thru your words about you. I can sense this scar but I wouldn’t place it at the center of a poem with this particular title! Most of all, you are always imaginative & you keep us guessing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

Oh' well, can't win em all I guess.......NUGS ...Neville
