That photograph stands out here and is absolutely stellar! I love the way you played with capitalization and emphasis in the last line….very clever ending to this poem about freedom and nature. Thanks for linking up 🙂
Thanks so much C.C.. the photo is from December of 2013.. and out of the 80K or so photos i take with my iPhone since effective use of my eyesight and hearing is miraculously restored in July of 2013.. this is my favorite one.. and i select it.. after i quickly comment on the first 4 poems linked with dVerse.. with my usual routine now of poetic micro-expressions in response to each shared poem i visit with at dVerse.. and as stated in the dVerse comments section.. i was in a rush to get to a Doctor’s Appointment.. and really wanted to participate.. so i quickly put the first four comments together.. polished them a little.. and say to myself.. hey! these 4 poetic micro-expressions in response to 4 different dVerse Nature themed poems make sense together.. it’s almost like someone other than me plans it that way.. but that’s nothing new.. i build nothing alone.. without help from ALLONE including GOD.. and others.. and Nature as ALLTHATISALLTHeSAMe!..:)
I see you got that “ee” cummings in at the end of your comment. See, I pay attention. 😉
I pay attention to I and Thou’s Asia’s X sMiley’s rum blue willow sloan, et al.. too.. years now..;)
And yes Asia.. i will add a little Asia before i go..
as time will
tale
the tell
of now..;)
signed..
FReeD..
And ‘i plan’ on being the
voice of the 22nd century
as ee as 21st is not
enough for me..
hehe..;)
And the mystery schools never cease as illustrated in Rock and Roll Music
and now particularly in videos.. the numbers 1,3,6,8,11, 12, 13 14, and 17 are all significant with the dancers as muse of spirit.. with the number of TV’s and the cross of symbol.. as nicely sectioned off in 6 pieces truly singing a background song of sacred numbers.. WHERE 3 moves into 1 and 8.. as getting rid of the idea of a trinity 3.. is a common theme in pop music for A ONE World GOD as Infinity or 8 standing tall.. and these are human archetypes that I come to understand well before I am introduced to the teachings of Aleister Crowley.. who has influences on much of Rock and Roll in the last century and well into this century as well.. unfortunately his promotion of substance abuse in the harder drugs leads a lot of folks who follow his teachings of reckless abuse of substances and end up dying at age 27.. and such as that.. problem with Aleister’s prophecies are they are coming from a place of childhood neglect from a mother who names him as beast.. as well as signs of sociopathy.. as he tortures small animals as a child.. but the darkness in his life does lead to some new insights of TRUTH AND LIGHT that science is currently catching up on.. specifically the fact that lust is directly related to increasing human creativity and productivity.. in what Aleister describes as rituals of Sex MagicK.. where orgasm is delayed for hours in reaching altered states of consciousness for LUCID WAKING dream control of will of future.. as a sort of magical spell.. he was definitely on to something.. but it is an all natural thing.. that anyone with any commonsense experiencing a free spirited sensual nature of human being will find in their arts and creativity in general… Sexy Sensual expressing Artists are some of the most creative artists and that is the reward of GOD as Nature.. for procreation related activities.. even if the Bill Clinton Def of Sex never comes.. and if you are not another alias for Rum Blue.. never mind… or mind if you find this interesting..:)
Anyway.. it looks like the comments section may be 100 times longer than the poem.. but hey.. with me.. that is still under standard procedure for sharing stuff..
And part of why I disappear for a while
after I link as i do not wanna upset folks who have to
wade through more of my all natural wordiness as insights flow my way..
I don’t say no to GOD..GOD IS the Boss of me.. with me.. but sometimes GOD
lets me come and go.. and others come too.. more freely and frequently..;)
I do it all for the flow.. and the more in flow the more amazing sychronicities
happen in my life with GOD that increase my flow with GOD more and more..
and who Knows where that will go next..
my advantage is i do not let my Nirvana
get out of control.. i regulate it
like an AC on the
Koolest Flow
setting
of
ALL
and that takes
practice.. and not having
a money paying job..
as is the case
for most all
who
escape illusions
of culture and go
to the other
place
known
as HUMAN
BLISS..:)
Since you have had effective use of your eyesight miraculously restored, it’s no wonder you enjoy taking photographs so much! Wow!!
Yes.. and truly after losing my emotions for those five years.. along with hearing and eyesight.. there is no memory or reference of a smile or laugh or other facial expressions as emotions are what emote human action.. and this is why selfies are so beneficial to me during recovery in getting my human being back.. emotions are the last to leave in patients with dementia.. and the first to leave with me in my illness of the most extreme pain..and truly that part is worse than having the worse pain known to mankind.. as a horrible catch 22 beyond words.. no emotions as a complete numbness of human being paper thin existence is the real hell the folks behind the revised bibles are talking about.. where every now is a thousand years of misery beyond any word for misery.. and bliss is the polar opposite where tHere is no perception of time at all.. fortunately my wife guides me when it’s time to do some of the so-called mundane chores of life.. when i dance.. write.. and sing.. there is no time.. and by the way.. i am not attempting to brag.. but i am noted as a beautiful and unique voice of song.. in hymns of spiritual grace in my Catholic Church each Sunday.. i’ve done a couple of Karaoke songs on YouTube.. when i first get my singing voice back.. as I am a piano player for the church choir for 10 years or so in the 80’s at Catholic Church.. and now i sing with choirs of Angels with a voice i have no knowledge of from the lowest lows to the highest highs when moved by the spirit of all the folks at church.. amazing grace.. etc.. etc.. etc.. IS A TRUTH AND LIGHT NOW.. AND I CHERISH THE BLESSINGS OF THAT NOW AND FOREVERMORENOW.. AS I GO TO THAT OTHER PLACE FOR 66 MONTHS OR SO TOO..
This place is wonderful..
the other place
is just
the opposite
of that..:)
Sounds like the wildflowers are finally blooming for you, now, my friend 🙂
Yes.. i am a later
but greater bloomer now..
smiles.. and thanks for all the
kind visits of words.. my friend..:)
You’re welcome 🙂
Ha. There is a FRED in your title. I think this is the fewest among of words I have ever seen you use as well. Ha. Nice cascading feel to this. So much to take in when it comes to nature. Life and death, its a constant dance out there. And both can be just as beautiful. Change is ever present. And its music is beautiful.
Yup.. lots of compound nouveau phrases in THere that can be considered one or two words.. depending on one’s perception.. but it is less than 40.. which makes a dVerse record.. for me.. but of course some of my poetic expressions back to the poetry of other folks.. are as small as one word.. like the onenowonemoreeverforevermoreonenowone word as the LOW record so far.. and yes.. it doubles as a Palindrome and can be counted as that special 11 number.. 2.. and 2 is II.. and i am still working on no words with the photo poetry.. smiles.. and yes X.. the music of change in life and death is the song of reality NOW that i tolerate and accept.. as well as delight in constant Joy NOW.. otherwise knowns as Nirvana.. Heaven.. Bliss.. et al.L.ah.. it feels so GRE@1:)
This is absolutely breathtaking……..!
Oh..the day of that photo is
one of the most magical
days of my life.. it is
RAINBOW WISDOM
HEART EYE
Sign from
GOD on a
clear blue
day on the beach
AS SKEYES OF GOD!
And YES.. IT
IS ALL Natural
as GOD is ALL
NATURAL
TOO.. THE
SIGNS ARE
NATURAL AS
WE ARE ALL
PaRT of the
ART OF
NATURAL GOD..
THE ILLUSION
IS SEPARATION..
THE COLORS OF THE
RAINBOW ON A SKY
BLUE AZURE DAY
IN DECEMBER
OF 2013..
WITH A
SUN THAT
MIRRORS
THE SHAPE
OF HEART
ON FIRE IN
EYE OF
WISDOM
OF HORUS
IS MY DELIGHT
LIGHT AND TRUTH
FROM GOD AS
PROOF OF GOD
ASALLTHATIS..
YES.. DEAR IT
STILL TAKES MY BREATH
AWAY WHEN I WRITE ABOUT
IT AS WELL WITH TEARS OF
BLISS AND CHILLS
OF RESPECT
FOR THE
GOD OF ALL
WITH ME..
AND NEVER
AGAINST
MENOW..:)
Kudos, stalwart Fred, soul mate to Katrina, cat person, dancer, iron pumper, photographer & poet, for damn, you lie this one out there, sans videos, with only one image, 33 lovely words strung over 25 lines like a daisy chain over your legs; damn, following the parameters of the prompt like it was so natural, the easiest thing in the world. Watch yourself, your poetic growth can be contagious.
Yes.. a runway virus EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS
Love FLU IN Dance.. Song.. and Poetry is my ease of
no DIS EaSE goal!.. WITH all others and the
rest of NATURE TOO..
I GO WITH THE FLOW
IN LARGE OR SMALL
in loud or soft
and hard
or stiff..
heHE..
but for
now i am
totAlly relaxed
and FLOW
FLOW
FLOW..
i could do a
a frigging
car insurance
commercial
as i am so
relaxed
as
FLOW..;)
(:..PS.. i don’t watch TV
anymore.. so i don’t
know if that Flow
Lady is still
around..
but
i
am..;)
The brevity of this works so well, Fred–and gives the reader a chance to really absorb what you are saying. One word really smacked me: neveRings! And the photo!
Yes.. my teachers hated reading my sloppy hand writing so much that they just passed me with straight A’s as I do good on the MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS.. haha!.. this is what I do on all poetry sites i visit and is just a casual
polishing of my first 5 individual poetic expressions
back to the first 5 poems in order..
The thing is.. on my longer
ones.. there are no
go signs
here..
that tell
people they
must go on for
more than one of
my micro expressions
of poetry.. when 33 to
50 are stringed back to
back like these 4 are..
it’s just a
shorter version
of what i
do now for
months and
the cool thing
is i’ve done somewhere
around thousands of
individual micro poetic
expressions poetically
that I can mix up
at this point.. if I totally
quit writing new poetry..
that can literally
last the rest of my
lifetime..
but the journey
of writing is
the practice
for me..
not
the approval
of others..
as GOD
leads me
in both short
paths and long
ones.. As GOD
wills me to do.
for the much greater
purposes and missions
of life.. not whether or not
I get a like on one of my
poetic expressionsonline..
God likes me
a whole lot
and that is
truly
all i Need
as I all have an
overfilling chalice
to give with that
and truly
need nothing
back from
anyone for
Unconditionally
Loving 24K words
or 30 something
like this.. smiles..
Life may not be
good for all..
but i know
how to
make it
fun and
get plenty
of laughs and
smiles from folks
in real life.. as well
as grimaces from some
folks who think my dance
is not NORMAL AND OVER THE
TOP.. FUNNY THAT REMINDS ME
OF THE FOLLOWING VIDEO ‘TOTAL
ECLIPSE OF the HEART’.. WHERE I GET
TO PLAY SO MANY OF THE ROLES IN
THIS HAPHAZARD VIDEO THAT IS
NOW ALSO LIKE THE
STORY OF
MY LIFE..
REALITY IS
STRANGER THAN
ANY FICTION
AND THAT IS
HOW I LIVE IT
FRIEND.. THANKS
FOR STOPPING BY
AND A DREAM FOR
YOU COME TRUE TOO..
MY FRIEND IN NOW too..:)
I specially like the freedom in the end ~ Birds should fly free ~
Yes.. dear Grace..
freedom is an
ultimate
GIFT
NOW..:)
left me with a feeling of release
Yes.. and truly that is
the meaning for
me as it
reflects
the history
of my life
including
that release..
my friend..
it is
in honor
of that
photo
as in how
that mirrors
GOD IN ME NOW..:)
Amen
🙂
What an absurd waste to have had to butcher almost everything that makes you you. I’m sorry you had to do this, Freddy. I’m glad I read all your real work.
i have an employee of mine
as a middle management supervisor..
who is a little like an older version
of the Tasmanian Devil named
Dolores.. she always marvels
how i can get out
of the sH88T smelling
like Roses every dam time..
i almost prove her incorrect
in those
5 years of
Hell..
and she
does not
live to
either see me
get into hell
or come out..
but i’m sure
she is smiling
through my eyes
now.. as I love that
woman so much..
it is the ones that
give us the most
hell that we
appreciate
and that
is why
i love
LILITH
AKA
KATRINA
THE MOST..
OHGODSHEGIVESMEHELL!
FOR A TIME I THINK SHE
IS BLOCKING THE
STAIRWAY
TO HEAVEN..
OR THE STYX QUEEN
OF SPADES AND
YOU KNOW THE
ROUTINE
BABY..
BY NOW..
HERE’S TWO
SONGS FOR
YA BABY
THAT
SPEAK
TO THAT..
AND YES.. MY
WIFE WILL GIGGLE
WITH AN EVIL
EYE ON ME
IF SHE READS
THIS TOO..
AND THAT’S
OKAY.. LOVE
IS WORTH
IT ALL
THROUGH
THE DARK
AND LIGHT
MY FRIEND
AS WE KNOW
TOGETHER
TOO.. JENNIE..
IT MIGHT NOT
BE GOOD IF I MEET
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
IN FEMALE FORM IN
REAL LIFE.. I SUPPOSE
THAT IS PART OF WHY
GOD MAKES YOU AS
WHAT YOU AND OTHERS
AND ME ARE TOO.. AS
MY AGE SAVES
ME FROM
SOME OF MY
DANCING FRIENDS
AS I AIN’T GONNA
GIVE UP
MY VOWS..
NO MATTER
HOW MUCH
THE REAL
K GIVES
ME HELL..
WE ARE FRIENDS
BUT IT IS LIKE WILEY
COYOTE AND THE
ROAD RUNNER AT THE
END OF THE WORK
DAY.. OF CHASE
WHEN WE
ARE FRIENDS..
AND THAT WILL
BE THE EXAMPLE
OF THE THIRD VIDEO..
ONE OF MY ALL TIME
FAVORITES AND
I AM THE
BIG ROAD
RUNNER..
SHE CATCHES
ME.. BUT I’M
TOO MUCH
FOR HER
TO
HANDLE
ALONE..;)
Ugh.. i got like 20 something thousand tabs
open on my computer on my ‘personal’ computer..
time to close ’em and start over.. smiles..
oh that GodZilla Brain computer
breathing FIRE
AGAIN!..;)
This is by far one of my favorites of yours. Cheers!
Thanks Delaina Miller..
i can honestly say
the same too..
a few moments
of casual effort
and
an
eternity
of meaning
in it
for
me
NOW..:)
Am I at the right place? Smiling..first that pic is fantastic..and I think we all have wings some of just haven’t learned how to leave the nest yet and take that first flight…wonderful capture with your words.
Ha! me smiling too now.. i hOld off on commenting
as long as I can in an attempt to make
it look like a so-called
‘normal’ Poetry
Blog..
but i
am coming
through NOW..
LOUD AND
CLEAR..
FRED..;)
And more smiles
in thanks for the
words of appreciation..
your friend
FREeD..;)
This is excellent work – brief, focused and the one photo chosen is quality rather than quantity. Good job on poem and photo.
Thanks K.. it is quick..
casual and
effortless to
do.. too..
and i like
it too..
smiles..:)
exquisite lines and lens…wowzers…such a magical image!!!!!
Thanks so much Sumana Roy.. for coming by with those nice
words of appreciation.. and yes.. that is probably
my most favorite image of Real Life too..
I’ve lived a long life of 55 years..
walking those beaches
for literally
decades..
and i’ve not
seen anything
like that and on a Crisp
Blue Early December Day..
on a Sunday.. Leaving Church
feeling drawn to the beach..
the image coming and
brightening in
amazing
brilliant
rainbow colors
of Life.. and i suppose
i will be singing the praise
of GOD’s Nature to it
in poetic verse
of life..
’till my
last grasp
for breath
with it here
or tHere my
friend for me
it is my NOW
Burning Bush
of Skeyes of
GOD.. with
words
flowing
from that
still my friend..
wouldn’t it have
been cool if Moses
has a smart phone
with him when
he ‘sees’ a
burning bush..
i suppose
i am
blessed
my friend
in so
many ways
seen and
unseen
for NOW
at Least..:)
man – what a great beach !!!! that’s soothing!
Yes.. my friend.. some folks do not believe me in real life or online that i live in paradise.. both metaphorically and literally.. but at least online i can prove it in documented photos.. on the literal part.. hehe.. and with all the smiles on dance night.. the other more metaphorical paRt.. should be clear too.. smiles.. for those who understand the deeper value of radiant smiles..:)
Ah.. a life so quiet and open..
to hear the crickets and cicadas
of night.. and one of my favorite
Lights the firefly
ringsIn
magic
of Nature’s
DeLight..:)
Ah.. yes.. the connection.. value
of human waves.. and for me
a town once small is a soil
fertile in soul of that..
she grows bigger
hands fall to
side..
i dance
i grow LOVE
wherever i go..
a bigger wave is
what i hope to be..
than hands at side..
no longer free.. the feet
of me sing.. in shoes of AIR..:)
Oh yes.. without the biggest
waves the
smallest
calm
will
never
be..:)
A danger of a desert IS
never mountain view..
where human becomes
bigger than Nature..
problems can and
do arise.. for
now..
I never see
a REAL mountain
Glenn.. i make Hills
Mountains of woRds
instead.. haha! but yes
it’s on my Bucket list to
do the REAL thing higher..:)
Life is emotional connection
to other humans and
the rest of Nature
heart as emotion
spirit as
connection
and balancing
of mind and body
balance always now
Meaning of Life SOUL..:)
Yes.. we live our lives searching for what culture
tells us there is to work for and collect..
the answers sing to us in birds
and falling leaves.. snow
flake crystals.. in
sand as well
as beach..
then one
day we
go home
and never
go back to
that other place..
and a song from
Elton John is ‘the
perfect song’ just for
This named ‘Home Again’..:)
Honestly.. it brings tears to my eyes..
as there is A place inside US that never Grows Old..
It makes me even sadder as people do not feel it any longer…
And
some
never
at
all…
And that my friend is a song of three
REAL HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF HEAVEN..
PURGATORY AND HELL THAT MY CHURCH
AND SCHOOL NEVER WARNS ME ABOUT..:)
And 30 lines is too much yesterday.. But OK NOW..:)
Oh.. the waves of sea
wash through refrains of heArt..
where words become phrases of
ancient delight of
Oceans so deep
living as our
soUls..
oh words..
oh spiRit
oh heArt..
oh sand..
oh breeze..
we sing.. a field
a wave.. a particle
drop of life..
we are rain..
a song.. and
ONE
ocean
of LOVE..
wrapped softly
as blanket of NOW..:)
Green is the Matrix Pill
i choose the most as
both the Red and
Blue make
humanity work..
yes.. we too
are nature too..
a hard
pill to
swallow
but one
that works
Green NOW
for
evermore..:)
Oh.. all the Mountains
so majestic.. so tall
so broad
as
Nature’s Muscle..
so humbling
they
are
to tiny humans..
oh humility
does
more
than
move mountains..:)
The rhythm.. the song.. each wave
sings.. to human breath
of in and out..
a word
a wink.. ocean
delight of
human
waves
of
LOVE..:)
Oh.. the route 66 of life.. a trail of
metaphor too..
what connects
us truly
are
trails
of
US..:)
Weeds are among
my most favorite
flowers.. so wild
and free.. and
the dandeLion
sings his
song..
i refuse
to cut him
early to chagrin
of my neighbors..:)
NoW
tALLs
THiNK..:)
Nature holds a key to all of heArt
of emotion.. expression of that
as spiRit.. and soUl of
who we are
connecting
in earthly
feats
of LOVE..
to spiral out
in galaxies of what
we are inside.. our arms
swirl outward in what
we still can be.. we
are skeyes of
GOD
JUST
WAITING
TO SEE
stars reflect
our eyes
shine
down
upon
our
see..:)
Ah.. the moon of Wolf song
a lonely one.. reaching out
to packs of
LOVE just waiting
to embrace
paws
of
connection
in FURRY
Comfort
HUGS..:)
Perhaps the saddest song of all..
is the one that sings where is
the evidence for GOD..
inside.. outside..
above.. so
below..
a Galaxy.. a Fetus..
a Sunflower..
a Nautilus
all in
GOD’s
GOLDEN
Spiral
Flow..
so i record
all of it and
share it
and
sing
A NEW Song..
from the Mountain
of my soUl echOing
spiRit back WitHeArt..:)
