Loose Leafed & Fancy Free

When it dont work out.. why not ask yourself why....

Loose Leafed & Fancy Free

 

The glue that once so very

Firmly

Bound each single page

Of me to your

Perfect spine

Has now become unstuck

Indeed it seems

The very seams of me

Have finally worked loose

So please

Now scratch me from

Your worry list

Its time to call a truce

I no longer need your

Pedestals or podiums

At least

Those you once offered me

Nor your promises or potions

I can read you like a book ….

A very clever use of metaphors and a very strong message in these lines. Love the final line. Your muse is red hot at the moment. She's got you working hard.

Loved the metaphors, but you should try my method in future Neville. Don' t let the cover beguile you.;-))

Yeah.. I was hoping you would find me..but heard you were 'bound' over to keep the peace...Bless you Sir Norm.. Always both welcome and appreciated.... Neville

" Bound over " be darned. Ì was actually tethered by cables to a wall mounted monitor. I complained about excessive inhuman restraint as I wasn't liable to run away.

Touche Norm... But bard over more like, you old poet you..

This is damn exquisite writing, my friend! Bow-Wowza! I'm kinda jealous. The way you play badminton with that metaphor. The warmth you emit while telling someone to go take a hike, it's so classic Nev. This has everything I love about you (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

You just made my day Margie... I only just stumbled across these words an hour or so back... NUG you too.. fondly of course...... N x
