Many Thank-yous in return, Bella - even if (my culture) Thanksgiving passed me by..... Still, who knows it may well be hot on the heels of Halloween and pop up sometime soon....
PS Why no day of mourning on 5 November? After all, you lot have had your fights with the Brits (obviously that must mean parliament) sometime or other..... 😇!!!

I once worked with a grumpy old bugger (I were young then), whose analysis of the world, but particularly of those, many of whom inhabited it was \"they\'re dead but they won\'t lie down\"
I cannot but think I\'ve inherited some of Old Joe\'s attitudes and characteristics...............
Good for you, Bella.

Beauty filled to the point of overflowing with man made sadness .. how many more planets do we have to f*** up before mankind eventually sees the light and the error of his ways .. this is an incredibly moving poem Bella .. I just wanted to get that off my chest and be sure you know I got here eventually ..

Your loyal fan, little old ME .. N

Such true words Bella, it is so wonderful to go to places where you can see the stars in their glory.

Excellent write Bella. It reminds me of a line in the movie \"2001 A Space Odyssey\" of \"It\'s full of stars\".

Incredibly beautiful and your meaning is sad yet honest. Although I myself am priveliaged to live in the heart of Tuscany where sunrise and sunsets and shooting stars and looking up in the dead of night still comes alive with star shows I do remember living in London and barely ever seeing a thing. Gorgeous poetry dearest Bella. 🩷

A fine write B.
A comedy programme said \'The nights are dark - they usually are!\'
Maybe not so dark now?

You are absolutely write Bella .. what may have once started off insidiously has now rocketed beyond all control and I fear there may be no stopping it .. Took the words right out of my mouth my friend .. Neville

Well, we\'re governed here in the UK, some newspapers say, by clowns - Coco, Bozo, Dumbo, Thicko, Knobo (ooh!), etc. how much of it is true?! Doh!

Very good words Bella, people are being led astray by those in power, we need to think for ourselves and do our own thing.

So very true. Small minded ignorance is a danger to all. Bella, we are living in times that are truly dark. Lies on all sides. Beautiful rhyme and very clever. 🤗

Unfortunately true. But we can each choose to be conscious....daily. As messed up as this world is, there\'s still good left!! Beautifully done Bella!!!🧡
