Comments received on poems by Bella Shepard
I Am One With Creation
Doggerel Dave said:
Your last eleven lines perfectly express feelings in me which over the years I can sometimes feel almost as vividly as your lines, Bella; more often at this end of my life, I think. Many thanks.
I can in no way relate to the first five; if I found myself in such a situation, there is no one or oneness with anything which could encourage me out from under the three quilts and doona to greet the universe.🙂 (Twenty degrees momentarily sounded OK though……. Oh no - that’s centigrade…)

I\'m guessing that no one is going to argue with the sentiment so firmly planted in such an exceptionally well crafted 575 little poetic gem ........... Neville

To Walk By Moonlight
Rocky Lagou said:
This is sublime Bella, I mean I felt every word.
I adore your paradoxes, \"The silence is deafening.\"
Like that is so paplable, like the ringing you sometimes hear when the space around you is so silent.
I adore the complete admiration of the environment around you, it\'s such a surreal transcendence.
\"I move within its aura\"

Bella this revives many feelings of peace and serenity. Such moments must be enjoyed in their transitory form. This seems true for life in general and if we accept the peace that is each moment, even in the most hectic, we can enjoy that calm even in the center of the storm. A beautiful piece Bella.

Beautiful!
once I was privileged to witness the splendour of a cool-blue full moon
and the rise of a flaming-orange dawn
simultaneously,
a breath-taking scene I shall never forget
thank you, dear Poet

Good write Bella.
I fancied a moonlight walk, but it was all cloudy and I fell down a hole! (I made that up. lol).
Could it only happen to me?!

Oh, it is quite wonderful having a walking companion! Our thoughts usually accompany us but the shadows that we create also play along in this sublime dreamscape.

I\'m a late to bed, late to rise kind of person, Bella. Don\'t think I\'ve ever experienced dawn, which after my read here, feels something of a shame. But is it possible to teach an old dog new........?

How liberating this read when drawn into the scene of stillness when dawn is breaking - -- your words bring the feeling of thanks to be alive in that place and time my dear Bella - a truly inspiring read.

This one goes far deeper than the light hearted initial impression. I believe that it is not only brilliantly said but brilliantly sad.

Now I\'m a confused laddie lol. With past, present, and future - I met myself coming back from the shops, while on my way there. Eh?
I talk some rot. lol.
But I did see a guy walking backwards with shopping. Maybe practising for the Annual Backward Walking Shopping Competition, which I oversee. (do I?).

Not sure it is waiting, but it will certainly pop up at just the appropriate moment, and yes, be a judgement on what I am doing now...
However, I have not the slightest intention of attempting a haiku here, Bella....Yours is a good \'un.

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 :)

allegorical at its nucleus core

Thanks for this wonderful read, dear Poet

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.
