To Walk By Moonlight
Fay Slimm. said:

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.

Fatalist?

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

The Future
orchidee said:

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?).

The Future

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.

Turtle On A Brick

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 :)

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....

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

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.

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 Single Thought
sorenbarrett said:

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.
