Poem -
A Heart Shaped Lad
Who squashed those fishies in a
tin
Your outrage said,
Still a little thing
Such a tiny lad
With eyes
That bled
Rage red
It's only pilchards for our tea
I...shamed,
Because your eyes tore out my soul
Well... who deaded all those
fishies mam?
Just to tip them in a bowl
Such a tiny lad
As your outrage bled
Just a little thing
Who cried and said
Well I don't want my tea
I won't eat that stuff cos,
Those fishies should be free
Let's go down to the beach mam
Put them all back in the sea...your...
Outrage said
Such a tiny thing
Such a soul felt sad
Such a kind shaped lad
Huge eyes
That bled
Too red

Hi Tony...I.have a problem writing sometimes as I write always to an internal rhythm which I clearly hear but unfortunately ...no reader can lol. This makes the flow off kilter sometimes but as I write for feeling not flow I tend to leave it alone and hope for the best lol....you are being kind here. This though is a very real memory and I truly thankyou for the leeway given...hugs my friend x
Thats a beautiful comment and I thank you Tony...sincerely x
No worries MARION!!......my pleasure......honestly!!.......smiles.....T xo : )

Heart rending words with more than just a ring of innocent truth about them ..........
if I was less of the hard man, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry N x
You can laugh lol....he was only 4 by the time he was 6 he was tucking into chops 😄😁...stages!! Although he shouted at a cleaning lady in corfu aged ten for sweeping a lizard out and was in bits on the same holiday when a seagull got caught in a fisherman's net. He was beside himself and was a massive animal lover like me but...he still ate chops...lol...I ramble ( not like me at all!!)
Memories are always precious but we shelve them in busy lives...sometimes they become more than precious...they become the air we breathe to go on...thanks Neville x
