I never expected a Haiku of such depth, the naked truth revealing inner depths. I hope it came out all right. lol Wow Bella I love your sense of humor.

Apologies, Bella – I’ve just had a flash back – memory safely buried until now. I did have a colonoscopy way back when I was somewhere between 14 and 18 (middle to late 1950’s). Vowed never again – and I haven’t.
About to rebury…. ⛏ (wot no emoji shovel? 🥹)

Note I made much more of my OP than you - I thought your reticence salted with humour admirable, Bella.

Dear Bella, they are so intrusive. Been there and done that. You haven’t lost your sense of humour:) Not sure what was worse, the preparation or the procedure 🌹

I do so hope that Orange is not the new black and that the good folk of the US of A can see through the dangerous tissue of lies the narcissistic liar constantly spews out and that he learns that money can\'t buy him love, power or respect

Good late evening my time Bella .. My word, I am almost too embarrassed to articulate in any great detail just how much I felt compelled to read this whole thing through.. Such tragedies are regrettably on the increase but no matter how often we are exposed to them, I doubt they will ever get any easier to comprehend.. I am so grateful for your authors note too and breathed a sigh of great relief when you pointed out that you were making a poetic point rather than referencing a personal tragic bereavement.. Good to be back my friend, you bet .. Neville

A most poignant and sad poem Bella. There are so many senseless tragedies in this world. I listen to all the politics of gun control and have to ask myself why the issue of mental health and parental responsibility is not addressed . Recently in a shooting the parents of the shooter were sentenced to prison time for their part or lack of part in the shooting. This may be the new trend.

Such emotive words Bella. I just cannot understand why these people are allowed onto our earth!

Good little thought, Bella. But I don\'t burst - It goes like this: knowledge in - past learned knowledge out. I cannot subscribe to the theory that we only use 10% of our brain/memory. Otherwise the other 90% went on holiday a while back....

Gut wrenching, Bella. But I feel if I comment further (and I very much could)....I hope you understand.
Just happy it wasn\'t you or yours.

My condolences to you and your family Bella. It\'s heartbreaking to lose anyone to gunfire, but especially when it is a young child. You\'ll be together again. 🫂

Well penned Bella, I\'ve got my own to post soon. I agree that it is becoming a freak show. But your poem is spot on. 👍

When it comes to politics you could never offend me Bella since I see the whole issue as a comedy and joke. In the US the joke is of cosmic proportions a madman against a demented old man on his last leg. A great write Bella and very timely as well. I guess all we can do is laugh.
