Life For Sale

Great piece Leigh! Love it 👍😘

It's a lovely write Leigh, very heartfelt I'd say. Beautifully written, thanks for sharing. 👍😘

@gazplend Thank you-glad you like this one & appreciate repost😌😘

Very heartfelt 💞☺

@leelee101 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's an occasional & only slight reference to past experiences... but overall, it was written from the viewpoint of someone had a certain idea of life & how they would like theirs to be (hence comparison to a home) but initial viewing lives up to expectation. But a sense of unease unfolds & yet despite it, they are still drawn & compelled to still chase what they desire. The realisation once they've gained it, is of something more shallow & unsettling....a reflection of themselves whereby despite all the fanciful disguise & extravagance, has changed nothing..(does a word of that make sense?! )😉😄

The vocabulary is perfect in this. Love the line 'atrophy of neglect' perfectly sums up how 'her' (the words read like a woman's, yes I know they are yours!)

Life has wasted away through a lack of care, and how the person you see is just a façade. Brilliantly written. I notice you've also put a copyright at the bottom of your piece. Do you recommend I do the same? (Even though Nom is not my name)

@Fly10 of course it does hun. It's very well written. 👍😘

@Fly10 the analogy is superb. 👍😘

@Nom Your work should be protected on here anyway, as it is a public domain & date of post + author is clearly evident. However, Copyright Service UK states that by placing a covering statement, such as the one I've included, will provide further 'back up' so to speak, in the event of any future dispute. There's a very interesting section entitled 'Top Ten Copyright Myths' on their website, which confirms even one line if proven, can be subject to prosecution unless removed or author credit is given. It also details what is referred to as 'Fair Dealing Rules' which detail the strict stipulations required if you are to utilise work written by someone else. Take a look if you're interest-the link is www.copyrightservice.co.uk. 😌😘

@Nom Further to the above, & just to be clear, giving the author credit on a piece is only relevant in the case of say, reference to study material etc. If someone writes a piece that includes a an element of work which isn't theirs, you are NOT allowed to share that with others ie on Opuss😉

@Fly10 That's interesting and thanks for the link. As an aside, I keep a handwritten copy of all my Opusses, signed and dated. Will that be further proof?

@Nom That comes under 'poor mans copyright' which is actually harder to prove, on the premise that dates etc could be forged😌

@Nom Not necessarily, as the argument is that hand written stuff is actually easier to forge. It comes under title 'Poor Mans Copyright' & is harder to prove unfortunately😌

@Fly10 lol 'poor man's'!

This is a spectacular write my sweet🌹🌹💜💜

@Nom I know! That title gave me a chuckle, but I guess it does what it says on the tin!😄

@misslittleDHP Really appreciate your lovely comments & a huge mwah😘 for RP 😊

@Fly10 awesome Leigh 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨👏👏 (hope you don't mind me using your idea of a copyright section in my posts hun!! Don't sue me please I'm poor as it is Lmfao 😜😘💐)

@smellyfingers Read your post before this comment-of course I don't mind, it's not copyright to copyright(I checked 😂😂) Glad you liked this piece, it was a bit off the wall & deep, so appreciate your comment. V.grateful for repost too 😘😘
