I Dreamt
sorenbarrett said:
This to me is an ideal haiku, although maybe not by oriental standard, it poses an unanswerable question. Although we do know a great deal about the physiology of sleep. We know so little about sleep and what happens during that state. So few words for so many thoughts.

Bella I love the way you present this story and dilema. Not only were the rhyme and story compelling but the metaphor of how we all get ourselves into situations that give pause to others as well as ourselves. Loved it.

Made me chuckle no end .. Every single verse a little masterpiece building on its predecessor & culminating in the 64-billion-dollar question ... maybe he could hitch a ride on the back of a turtle dove :)

The rainy day changes the scenario in my head: he may have been thinking to get himself a higher vantage point to survey the distance he yet has to travel after the last drops of rain š§ š¢ š¤

Great little read,. Bella - moves along much faster than your turtle. My ever literal brain would suggest that some rotten lout put him there, and then later another compassionate soul helped him down....

thank you dear friend, I always love your comments. I spied this little guy earlier this summer and couldn\'t believe my eyes. Fortunately he wasn\'t there the next day, so I assume he got down some how.

Smiling big here Bella at your lightly perceptive poem so beautifully rhymed on a turtle\'s high-climb without knowing why - - and am in love your final stanza -- great fun read.

(Wise sentiments
as in appreciating our elders
we appreciate our past
and those who can\'t grasp a foothold on their past
will ever wonder aimlessly in life...) Hope you all had a great day! Such a lovely read, thank you dear Poet

Just Because (senryu-maybe)

I know little about the senryu form but regardless this is an appropriate response. Short and to the point.

Bella I have seldom found so few words convey so much emotion and meaning. Having literally set myself afire some months ago I guess it has even more personal meaning to me. There is such determination and resolution in the final line that it rings with conviction and power.

Great medicines come to mind.
My usual one thought on a Monday, though, is roll on Tuesday.

Into The Universe
sorenbarrett said:
Breathing helps center us, calm us and is a method used by different groups for meditation, yoga etc.. In fact it is so basic that the verb, to be, derives from a time that was so ancient that the only way to express that one was alive was to say that it breathed. Therefore to be meant to breath.

A splendid Haiku Bella the perfect 575 .......... :)
indeed, that is all it took, the grain of a single thought, well planted and nurtured, whether by accident or design from which all subsequent things have taken root, blossomed and fruited .. Neville

Profound and deep, but don\'t pant too deep or it may never come up. So true though, having taught in the past I have watched certain seed come up and this is very gratifying. You are right about planting weed though.

Absolute power therein lies in words that are of the poetic kind.... perhaps that it why prophecy, Scripture, hexes and spells are all poetically rendered. Perhaps, just a stray thought. Thanks Bella.
