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.

Indeed, things just are, and we can do nothing about SOME of the things that just are!

The Music Wraps Around Me

Really like this. I am captured in the first verse and lead through each with words and images that draw me alongside with a touch of candidness. Lovely

A very cheerful poetry dear Bella
Nothing better than connecting with nature
Those birds sweet and chirpy makes mood lighten a lot
Really enjoyed your poetry

Never mind inviting the birds.
Invite me, I\'m into luxury. Granted, I\'m going to look a bit daft in the bird feeder, but I don\'t care.

A wonderful tale or tail. Anthropomorphism is underrated, I always loved parables and fables. You have a wonderful way of telling them in such nice rhyme and meter. Loved it.

You can\'t beat Nike, for running shoes. Did move to Adidas for a time, but had to get back to my favourites.

Bella What a great poem. It was amusing to read and easy too in that it flowed so well. I often read too much into things but it seemed to me an analogy as well and I couldn\'t help thinking that you in praying to the shoe god were baptizing them with shoe goo to them renew. Loved it
