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

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!

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.

Doggerel Dave said:
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. 💖

The Red MG
sorenbarrett said:
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.

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.
