Now, lookie here, someone I knew at an Arts & Crafts Show, including yummy cakes, said she is allergic to cream, so she took photos of those that have cream in them. Eh? She is not a show judge, so she won\'t be eating any, cream or not. They go to charities!

I loved the format to this poem of great advice. To give is to receive, accepting our imperfections and growing from them is crucial, How we achieve is as important as what, letting go of things is liberating. All so true. Great write dear friend.

One of the best senryu I have ever read dear Bella, I suspect you went to a million beautiful places and you saw those you love. How else could you have come back whole! Stunning, I\'m randomly reading your stuff and I always go to the titles and I\'m never disappointed so glad I didn\'t miss this one of my favourite forms of poetry and this is superb. 💖

Great writing like the question at the end of this )) I do think that the letting go can be difficult .. o guess many of us need to heal from things then we can ‘ live ‘ in a better way Maybr

Change is something unavoidable but so difficult and even more so as we grow older. An empty nest is tough to adjust to and downsizing to another home is difficult as well. The loss of a life long companion is toughest of all and I loved your last line.

A wonderfully written poetic story here Bella, with a beautiful ballad like rhythm, you\'ve painted a wholesome tale of life, that culminates in an enduring image.

Bravo, and I hope that all is well.

sorenbarrett said:

A beautiful feeling indeed. The song of the south was one of my favorites as a child. O what a beautiful morning was a song I sang many times to lift my spirits. This poem brought it back to mind and I thank you for the lift.

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!
L. B. Mek said:

(oh such abundant gaiety in worded poetry
oh what imagery of nature\'s divine in a rhyme
how in-step with each musical note
fingertips digging deep in that coat)
hey, I get something for trying right?
lol
(but sadly my cherished friend
we have found something we don\'t agree on
\'such a sad day\'
musicals, are just a no no for me
I\'m so sorry, i mean no disrespect
but any time
I see people deep in conversation
and then a second later
they\'re all singing operatic facing the camera
I\'m just cringing, my insides being twisted something violent)
erm.. not that i have strong feelings about it
no, really
you know me, I\'m all easy going foolishness
.. just you know
I still have nightmares
about 2005 Producers and Chicago with richard gere
i still shudder at the mere thought
screeching \'where\'s me salt\')
lmao
I\'m half joking..
🤦‍♀️
please, forgive my uncultured ways

poem\'s like this, is why I\'m in love with Poetry
those cannon fodders
can keep their refinement elitism
their abstracted far-fetched imagery
all I need, are a few poetic words
of artistic sincerity
breathing life to a memory
a concept, a thought, a life\'s story...
I\'m in love with the elegance of this
decadently unfurling, poetic gem
just !!!Brilliant!!!
(I bow to your superior talent dear cherished Poet)
and it had to be a morgan
the last car manufacturers to use
actual wood in the frame of the cars
gave it that personalised feel
even in an assembly line batch, each car
had its own unique personality
clinging-on
to the days when artisans
put a little of themselves in that they crafted
with love
like you\'ve done with this Poem
my talented friend
(sorry for my overzealous enthusiasm
I genuinely admire works of subtle genius
so rare)
thank you!

I seem to have a knack of not being around at the off .. but am delighted to have arrived here now that the dust has settled .. and I am able to take my time and to take the whole thing in ..

This must surely be your flagship Bella at least to date that is ..

beautifully crafted throughout with not a word out of place .. and if it were not a contradiction in terms, I would go as far as to say, it is timeless ..

Full marks indeed from me to thee .. Neville

Teddy.15 said:

I\'m sure it has a good purpose for something\'s dear Bella, but personally I\'m not a fan I find a hand shake and a hug or even just eye contact creates humans to be warmer. 💖 A fascinating subject
