Morning Breaks

Dear Bella, Just waking each day is a miracle

Your poem is very wise and so very enjoyable the fancy rhyme.

The goal is to survive

To flourish and to thrive

From all that I derive

Be glad to be alive

I had a chuckle as only you could rhyme so flawlessly 💖

Now behave Orchi. No guffawing in church over the \'speaking blackbird\' line! Doh, it\'s poetic expression, Fido tells me.
But he talks to blackbirds. lol.

A wonderful depiction of the need to act, to tend to and be part of the goodness of the world. FFan them so they can grow and not put them out. A beautiful read.

Though I know two or three of Shakey\'s quotes - \'Hamlet\' is quite \'quote-y\', if that\'s even a word?! lol.

Yes - comes when suddenly aware that sometime I won\'t be, but right now I am.

(not a bad or sad feeling).

Only those lucky enough can say yes. And yes! it\'s an amazing feeling to just be, be still, be a part of everything, finding symbiosis. Terrific haiku!

Are we human beings
Or human becoming

The Touron
Neville said:


probably one of the most apt neogilisms I have ever encountered .. and woven so seamlessly and well throughout your bloomin brilliant poem Bella .. I heard of similar behaviour being demonstrated by grossly irresponsible so called adults involving bears when I last visited Canada some years back ... Neville

Some people are just plain stupid when being with wildlife, I always treat wildlife with absolute respect.

Our city doubles it\'s population in summer and it\'s full of \"Tourons\". They drive like idiots too! Anyway, loved your poem, i see the manner in which you\'ve described in our state park also. Great job!

orchidee said:

Why do so many small children chase away birds and frighten them? And why do the parents let them?
Is it just innocent fun, or are they naughty brats? A bit of both?

orchidee said:

Erm, I saw a sign on a door \'Beware of the cat!\'. A domestic cat, not that they kept a lion/tiger, etc. Is that near enough to a wildlife park in the UK? heehee.
Oh, and the notice on my door is \'Beware of trouts\' (KP\') lol.

Doggerel Dave said:

Bella, if ever there was a word worthy of incorporation into the world’s lexicon it’s ‘touron’. New to me, although what it names is not. They are everywhere, and I may have had occasion to include them in one of my rants sometime. Not just in Yellowstone but in art galleries and museums and streets and beaches with tourist features and monuments and on and…… I now have a fantasy that a bison should be stationed at each of those situations to sort idiot tourists out…
Enjoyed this piece thoroughly… 🤣

Touron? Love it! They should have listened to ‘Mama bison’ and now they better listen to your poem…

At least you were not so blind as to not see the sign. Short but such good advice Bella

Good advice to a population that is near sighted, closed minded and deaf to what is around us. We all should question what we see, hear and even think. Nicely said

Yes - be open to it, interpret and apply. But first be open to it, otherwise.....
You have it there, Bella.

Yes, one thing we\'re meant to be slow to do - speak; and two things quick to do - hear, and become angry - says James in his letter/epistle.
Some sharp things there, including \'you fool\', \'you vain person\'. Oops!

Pop64 said:

It\'s much like anything else, if one doesn\'t want to see something, they never will. We need to be open to it, willing to accept. Very clear and concise write. If I may, \"But all to often\" should be \"But all too often\", otherwise a well received meaning and write

Very nice! We take so much for granted, step over the lessons at times....and get lost in the noise. Must start really listening! Thank you for this!
