You certainly expressed this more succinctly than I ever could, Bella.
But additionally, the point you make re \'diddly-squat\' above is well made. My speech is riddled with such colloquialisms occasionally. Google does (sometimes) provide the answer.

You seem absolutely sure of yourself .. & who am I to argue .. furthermore, I am convinced that there is a fundamental universal truth squeezed comfortably within those twelve strategically placed words, up there .... Neville

When Trees Go To Sleep
Neville said:
Had my visit been more timely, I would probably not be here right now ..
On reflection though, this is one of those rare occasions, when I am more than happy to be here at all ..
Better late than never eh\' and boy, do I like fall .................... Neville

Bella I certainly can identify with this poem. It evokes feelings too and what more is a great poem than one that one identifies with and evokes one\'s feelings?

Urgh! I don\'t feel well - gelatinous goo.
What brain? I say to myself - all 3 brain cells of mine are there though! heehee.

Ode to My Brain
Doggerel Dave said:
Not so silly, Bella. As a human, existing in this time and place, I often feel my body (including brain) to be very happily functioning without my close input.
I, as driver provide direction have motivations and desires, but the way these are satisfied, the mechanisms involved are not something I am conscious of or have much control over.
Your poem expresses that nicely.

I must be suffering from a delusion that I have my finger on the pulse at MPS and don\'t miss much.
Seems I\'m wrong; I\'ve missed out on you, Bella up to now - apologies for that.
And not a good poem to start with - your poem here. There is the obvious finality about it.
Also, to romanticise the disposal of one\'s remains runs for me into difficulty as the whole issue is really of garbage disposal alone. If one wants to utilise this material in any way, then give it to a medical school. Beyond that......
I enjoy your poetry and will keep an eye on you in future - so write on....

Bella this one hit close to the heart. I found the words and the theme as well as the very thoughts of transforming into a tree most beautiful and moving. Loved it.

A fine write Bella.
Meanwhile - a fictional daft write on this theme, from me, beginning:
Me end had come
They chucked me in an old tea chest
But no! They needed the chest for more tea
So they tipped me on the rubbish heap.
Where I mixed with old manure!....... (heehee)
I write some rubbish sometimes. lol.

Why? Yes a complicated question, though only three letters long. Access to guns by those that shouldn\'t have them, troubled individuals that go undetected, lack of parental monitoring, video games that encourage killing and criminality. A question that goes unanswered.

Steve summed it up.
How the hell can you be allowed to buy assault rifles. Does no one ask questions, does no one do background checks. Some shootings are preventible, and if checks were done, this would be one of them. 19 kids killed because the law allows lunatics to buy rifles.

A terrible tragedy AGAIN. The Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania Australia1996 led to the historic gun control act in Australia. I wonder what it will take in USA. Your lines show your despair, your grief. I am so sorry too.

When I woke up to these news, my mind went straight to the Parkland Shooting that happened just a few miles from where I used to live. My heart is so heavy to know that these types of massacres are still occuring at alarming rates. We can truly only hope for better days.

It seems the USA need not worry about terrorist attacks, americans of all backgrounds are killing each other off without help from terrorists.
P.S. It\'s not guns which kill people, it\'s the ammunition.
