A thought-provoking write. Sometimes we must cut away (or burn) the bad to see the good.

Yes Bella! What a dazzling 5/7/5 that speaks so many meanings in so little words. I adore the way you presented this with a question, it makes it feel like I walked into a conversation. This pheonix analogy reminds me of Sylvia Plath\'s most iconic lines in the poem \"Lady Lazarus\" in which she concludes the poem with, \"Beware. Out of the ash. I rise with my red hair. And I eat men like air.\" The \"red hair\" hinting at a phoenix type of resurrection. Your poem is so true, in order to make it far, we have to be willing to \"grab the match\" and light ourselves aflame. Marvelous Bella, just marvelous.

Period. This is literally golden though, a great delve into the human mind. We truly are our own obstacles. Great job Bella!

Into The Universe
Paul Bell said:
I suppose we are but a mere particle in the big scale of life, which can be a bit frightening at times.

Yes dear Bella when we seek silence and breathe night\'s peace we learn our smallness as more life fills our hearts - -- a inspiring read.

Bella I loved this write and its humorous but sad focus on old age and memory. My memory too is not what it used to be, but then I just kid myself that it is because of all the junk I\'ve stored upstairs over the years. Great poem.

Just Because (senryu-maybe)
Rocky Lagou said:
This is excellent, to see you fit it in the senryu form as well is spectacular. This delightfully reminds me of a Lana Del Rey poem called \"Never to Heaven\" in which she say:
\"The whys in this lifetime I\'ve found are inconsequential
compared to the magic of the nowness - the solution to most
questions
there are no reasons\"
This poem is amazing, thank you.

True words Bella, we can remember those wonderful times but where the keys are can be quite a problem, like the question of why did I come up stairs?

\" Let me tell you Bella, they\'re most likely there in your pocketbook.\" I have lived this poem. It was like looking in a mirror. Well written and an amusing read. Just the other day, I went downstairs to fetch a book I left on my desk, got distracted and had to make three trips.
Your poem hit home for me. Liked the rhymes. Enjoyed the entire read. - Phil A.
