Dear Mrs. Christie
sorenbarrett said:

Dear Bella this fits for me as well although I substituted the tales of Sherlock Holmes. They bring back memories and emotions of the past.

Dear Mrs. Christie
Fay Slimm. said:

I have to say SNAP after viewing this verse dear Bella - - so clearly written has described my needs of late to re-read earlier favourites and why not indeed -- it has really roused me to seek again the famous A. Christy and her baffling mysteries .

Nostalgia rules, Bella. . And I do understand. It is more than just the tale, it also takes you back to the time of your first reading I get that directly from your poem.

(Coincidence? On Sunday my partner \'confessed\' to be reading an Agatha C. On Monday a radio discussion re updating, making her books more PC. On Tuesday you write a very coherent poem on the same subject....)

A Necessary Evil
sorenbarrett said:

How relatable is that. And at the same time how metaphorical. How much dependency leads to pain and loss. Yes a perfect title too. Necessary evil indeed.

About halfway through Bella, I was sure you were heading for a divorce and I woz in with a chance....!

I am meticulous in the creation of a comprehensive file system in my PC email - too comprehensive....a search takes an extreme effort - especially when I go to my deleted items (which I haven\'t cleaned out for a long time)....but noone told me the archive folders had their own delete file....

Fay Slimm. said:

What a clever and very meaningful metaphor Bella which on first read fooled me until the last few lines -- then I nodded in sympathy after knowing the same pain of hitting delete................ ooooh this one I keep for when I next press similar Saves dear friend.

Circle Of Life
L. B. Mek said:

indeed, so true dear Poet
I just read Andy\'s poem today
vaunting hope\'s role in our lives
I think that\'s all we can do
take a plunge and hope for the best
I for one, wish you and yours
all the luck in the world

We all want convience which is human nature, but would it really fulfilling if we always knew the outcome?

Circle Of Life
Goldfinch60 said:

We all ask that question \"What if....?\" But we are where we are and of the many steps we have trod and circles we have travelled we are still here and know that the future will be bright.
Life is good.

Circle Of Life
Doggerel Dave said:

Your circle of life is really a link in a chain I feel, Bella. As you step out of one link you stand in the centre of another….
I really like the image, and the above only came to mind after you prompted it. So many thanks for that.

Circle Of Life
sorenbarrett said:

Bella this is a fav The idea is so similar to what I feel. Infinite possibilities and each a step away. What will they result in only time will tell. A lovely write.

Circle Of Life
Fay Slimm. said:

We are all thought to be part of the field of pure Potential so choices we make at one time could not be those we would make later - yet making the best of what is the Now or the Moment will I am sure guide us to pathways greener - - your fine metaphor re. the circle of life and after reading your relatable lines on the subject I do hope my ramblings are not too obscure Bella dear friend..

Circle Of Life
Neville said:


if you remember way back when I suggested we form a cult .. well I am beginning to think its not such a bad idea since I often think precisely the same way you do .. but then again .. I guess most people do from time to time ..

This is really quite beautiful Bella and even with my hair cropped close, so easy to re-live and relate to ... Neville

Blow Wind
L. B. Mek said:

another soothing insight
you\'ve shared with us, dear poet
(dear friend, if you haven\'t - yet
may I recommend you read
Paulo Coelho\'s \'The Alchemist\'
then contemplate your poem
in the context of the levante wind
and its capacity to deliver
the messages of lonely
and loving, heart\'s..)

Blow Wind
Doggerel Dave said:

Just the kind of greeting I need when I step outside on these very hot humid days Bella. I felt it inside just now (closed up in a vain attempt to avoid the heat).
You almost portray it as a lover, and I think that\'s right. The next suburb to mine had a very dysfunctional relationship with the wind - trees blown down , roofs ripped off and deposited next door....... I\'m staying with yours....

Blow Wind
sorenbarrett said:

Bella this is beautiful and strikes deep in the soul for the inner voice or conscious like the wind can be gentle and it can not be seen but is felt just the same.

The Library of Time
sorenbarrett said:

What a unique and wonderful way of putting this. Life is on borrowed time and a gift that we will eventually have to return. How we have treated it during our possession of it makes all the difference in the world.
