I am actually speechless. This poem is so transcendental, and the last lines feel like this grand revelation. This is rich, sublime, and evocative.

a wonderfully inked, nurturing stroll
through nature\'s gentle grace
(and our poems are Spring themed
in-sync, I think
lol)
and so true, wise Poet
the Japanese culture is so rich
in depth of their wording\'s
acute poignancy and meaningful etymology
in Autumn, they have \'Momiji-Gary\'
in Spring they have \'Hanami\'
(and so much more, tradition
acting as conduit to a timeless
continuation of appreciation
for all the Nature, modernity
disregards
as testimony, to our progressive
ignorance...)

I\'m walking with you Bella. Beautiful image. I\'m a wee bit envious, as it takes many hours to find a forest where I live and then it may be burnt out anyway. I\'ll stay with yours.

a great point, dear Poet
(we learn from too young, an age
\'to kiss things better\', and yet later
we understand, all that does
is force that person to pretend
all is better, while repressing
their unresolved, feelings and hurt
thus, much better
to vibe and sync, with those
we care about
\'knowing them\', just like reading a book
once
every time we read it again, something new
becomes clear to us, if it\'s a book
with meaningful, depth
and
so do the conversations and situations
we share
with those we care, enough
to invest our time and empathy
in)

Wish I could have worked it out (the male role here), Bella.
So thanks for the solution - albeit just slightly late (but not too late).....

Mozart In The Morning
Rocky Lagou said:
This couldn\'t be clearer!
Your imagery is so vivid and engulfing, and your effervescent experiences with nature are awe-inspiring. I used to be in my middle school\'s orchestra, I played the viola, and my time there really enriched my appreciation for classical music. The oboe is one of my favorite instruments, too! Thank you for this marvel.

Playing as I pop in and add this little note, Bella. Will continue as I move on (via utube). Some habits are value, and now I have both the visual and aural picture of this particular habit of yours for some considerable time to come. Thanks for your write.

The god of music celebrated in this piece. how excelent to choose the mortal man that embodied music in is genius. God or nature the master of universal music represented by his musical genius creation the bird. What a symphony for the ear both as music and poem. Thank you for an uplifting message this morning dear Bella.

it is not hard, to both see and to hear why you dear Bella were so inspired to positively exploit such a series of recollections, associations and subsequent juxtapositions which have ultimately culminated in this, your personal dedication and homage to the great Man ... 🎼🎶🎵🤍🎶🎵

Irony
L. B. Mek said:
so true dear Poet
(we have ironing boards
to straighten out those mistaken kinks
in those façades we wear
to fit-in with society\'s zeal for make believe
yet we spend our lives, being judged
by those who can never
find the wrinkles in that persona
mirror reflection...)

A forest filled with birdsong and dappled sunlight as a gentle breeze presents a percussive accompaniment, therein is a cathedral not fashioned by human hands!

Nature reflected in the songs of birds helps erase my insanity. It might not take it all but it helps. From where I am right now I hear the night birds and in the morning tucans, finches and canaries, their songs lighten the day. A very nice Haiku dear poet.

Poirot!
easily one of the best characters in literary history
not just in a single genre
and David Suchet was born for that role
just a great dedication, dear poet

\'Murder in the Mews\' a fav
(if Poirot switched sides...,
a scary thought lol)
