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!

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?

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.

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… 🤣

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!

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

Penicillium Notatum
sorenbarrett said:
Dear Bella I have an allergy to some unknown weed that blooms each year it makes eyes run and nose sniffle but is not anywhere near as bad as many people. I empathize and hope you are not affected too badly. The poem itself was fun as far as it could be knowing that you suffer from this.

I suffer from the sneezes during pollen season – which owing to the funny weather (trying to avoid the words ‘climate change’!) seems to be all year long…
Mercifully free of mold in my particular unit. Not so for at least two other occupants of our complex, who eventually had their units completely gutted, their furniture either thoroughly sanitized or destroyed and ventilation improved. All this at company expense (independent living aged care).
There’s no easy answer to the devil mold, Bella, but your piece serves as a well documented health warning at the very least.

I suffered with allergies for a long time. Not much anymore. Hope it all ends well for you. I write in spurts like that, Then I eventually combine several pieces into a poem. Thoroughly enjoyed this poem. - Phil A.

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. 💖
