Living by Numbers

 

Living by numbers

Loving to order

Dying by degree

Responding to colours

Cheating thy neighbour

So much for friction

Have another cup of tea

and sipping tea is good for digestion, a sign of longevity, a sign of peace or whatever... this is really something else..

[Neville]

Many thanks sette for touching down and considering my little something else.... Neville

Life. It's all the same, it's somewhat different, we're all just hanging on and doing what we have to do until we're gone - you have your tea and I, have my coffee ...
Well played.

[Neville]

Merci my friend....thanks for touching down and checking these words out for me.... much appreciated.. Neville

Living by numbers sounds like a mantra that encourages you to have a cup of tea. Any special brand?

[Mrudula Rani]

What did I get from these four stanzas, more or less saying the same, give or take a slight variation? Regardless of all the crap thrown at us, the monotony and boredom of everyday things, the trouble and strife, there's nothing like a cuppa. Kettles on Neville. I'll hold the milk and sugar. It is so very, very English and I am so very, very English and understand the need for that cuppa. Of course cryptic Neville, you may mean something else entirely.

You have an OCD style of wordplay. Sometimes your poems feel like word puzzles more than messages, so I'm searching for the pattern. And I understand the appeal of being anally retentive when it comes to arranging words, since I have a few obsessions in this area myself *wink! wink!* Such patterns are very soothing, better than a tranquilizer! Fondness runneth over, Margie

[Neville]

if ya find anything, will ya let me know... Bless ya Margie & true... still like that new pic..... N x

[barleygirl]
