Superfluous Twists

it no longer matters .. honest 🤍

Superfluous Twists

She really had him going

back then ..

In a matter of moments,

he was

threaded on a measured

length of thin

discoloured paupers twine

along with

all the others, doubled up,

and last seen

clutching at silly straws ..

He then became

a pretty but nevertheless,

well drowned

laughing stock and clown ..

In fact, so very

much so, he never did sit

on a fence again ..

Some called it a very steep

learning curve ..

While others, made such

casual but

caustic remarks about far

too numerous

consequences and all of

those negative

repercussions associated

with his swift

falling from favour like that ..

But then,

s**t always tends to happen

doesn’t it on

the back of superfluous twists ..

O' i know rite well mate been there had the T-shirt mate, not nice at all when you give your all only to be rebuked and made a foll of by the very person you loved and thought could trust!!

A very finely penned lament with lots of emotion and brimming with many outstanding poetic truisms, nice one Nev!

Such disasters are the true school of life. It sad when one is let down after being led up the garden path and yet so much worse if the world laughs too. I felt pain in these words and resignation too. But what struck me most was the learning curve that seemed to be so steep as to be almost transformative. This was great to read and think about.

[Neville]

I am truly honoured by your kind visit, your insight & generous review .. thank you AYVID and truly .. Neville

[Chris Shaw]

Ouch, so very painfully penned Neville. I can think of a simile or two or maybe even three which would sum up this situation. Once bitten, twice shy might be just one of them.

[Neville]

you are so write .. ta Chris .. I didn't mean for this little scribble to get through the review barrier ..

[Lorry]

Rule number one Nev, never sit on the fence! It might do you well to keep opinions to yourself (I don't know, I've never tried) but you will end up with an a*shole like a hot cross bun!

dearest Neville... we are allowed to Dance as though no one is watching. When Singing the Lyrics of a Song... the words can be suggestive as though the Snow was falling softly. tenderly, Pat

[Neville]
