I React

I react

And interact

With life

The question is

Do I impact it?

    That's a lot of 'act'ing as suffixes! lol. 5 lines could be a limerick. Not sure what a Haiku is, but it's short. Sounds like a Japanese or Chinese sneeze to me - Hai-choo! lol.

    • Bella Shepard

      Next time I might try sneezing Haiku, instead of achoo. Just for fun I looked up achoo and I found an anacronym: "Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helioopthalmic Outburst (ACHOO) Syndrome is characterized by uncontrollable sneezing in response to the sudden exposure to bright light, typically intense sunlight". Do you see the can of worms you opened? lol. Thanks for reading Orchi, and for your always delightful response.

        Ooh, that's just what I needed, doing a short course on anatomy and physiology! lol.
        Oh no, why they say 'No danger of sneezing' because 'What's that bright yellow light?; not seen it for ages (the sun)!

        Do I make an impact? A magnificent question and there are souls who wouldn't care less, dear Bella, you bring a such needed wake-up call to society, we can preach but depends on the soul that reads. 🌹

        • Bella Shepard

          You are so right Teddy, how shallow the unexamined life can be. Now you my dear, definitely make an impact, and always will.

        • aDarkerMind

          I would say most definitely Bella.

          a most impressive write.

            Thank you my friend, I see the impact that you and other members of this community make, and I am so happy to be a part of the whole. Thank you!

            You impact your life and a small pool around you. Because everyone has that pool associated to them, we end up interconnected.
            Yes! you impact the world with each action even if nothing happens and nobody is directly affected by you and your actions. They are impacted by their individual pool.

            • Bella Shepard

              Very well said, we are interconnected. Love your comment!

              • Bella Shepard

                What a sweetheart you are Dave! I've never had an anacronym before, and your wit is beyond compare. You have a very a positive impact on me as well, always encouraging, and I eagerly await your comments. Take good care my friend.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  • Bella Shepard

                    My head is spinning from your kind words Dave. It is a pleasure for me to commune with such a kindred spirit as yourself. What a joy to share and be understood. Thank you dearest Dave, you always do my heart good.

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Aw shucks!😊

                    • Thomas W Case

                      Brilliant question. Poignant write.

                      • Bella Shepard

                        Thank you my friend, I harken back to Socrates and the Life Worth Living, perhaps something we should ask ourselves from time to time. I value the impact you have here in this amazing place!

                      • Goldfinch60

                        We all have our impact on life Bella even if it is only in a tiny way.

                        • Bella Shepard

                          You are absolutely right, and those tiny ways add up, if we just see it. Thank you dear Andy!

                        • Neville



                          Just be sure, it aint the size that matters .. and yes, of course you do ..

                          • Bella Shepard

                            Big or small it's always good, and it's nice to know you fit in somewhere. Thanks Nev!
                            On a side note, is it me or has navigating this website become a little screwy lately?

                            An excellent piece of brevity dear Bella and a question that I’m sure many ponder on at times. Your poetry dear poet certainly impacts. 🌹
