Through Navy through doughnuts through pInk shorts..
thin legs.. and yellow polo shirts..
the loving embrace
of the human touch
carries us through
to the other
side of
Loving
NOW..
smiles.. this is Bowling
Alley life for me.. just
casual conversations
being human
for decades fully
with a tribe of
bowlers
or doughnut
lovers same..
with banquets of cultures
intermixing sharing doughnuts
of love as food.. at the end
of each
league
of Life..
I miss those days..
they were worth all
the money
and
words
in the world
smiles and tears
and fears for the rest
of the world who never
exist in Bowling
Alley
Doughnut
life.. smiles..
though still overall..
as at least i can remember
and share what Human Love
used to be in giving flesh and blood
where an
arm is always
given as human touch
of
LOVE..:)
Sadly it would be too overstimulating
for most people to meet me in real
life i meet online as my
human is
just
burning
bright
where the
Z.A. rains
heavy
online
beyond
sadness
beyond humanity’s
breath of flesh and blood…
But i am here to give the
message that
yes it
still exists
and nice to
know you
feel IT
Too..
smiles

Oh.. I love this prompt.. Victoria.. and of course this is my mainstay style of writing stream of consciousness free verse poetry.. and truly it is the way my ancestors of Great Aunt and Great Uncle both living until their Md-90’s speak natural in a wave of flowing communication that will last hours on end.. where emotions are the rule of flow.. and not COLD HARD FACTS OR COLD HARD FORM.. OF COLON AND SEMICOLON LIFE.. smiles.. i wondered when i would become human too.. and my words tale me back.. smiles again..:)
Will be back to read and comment on all later.. as usual..
smilesX3.. this is definitely a lost human art..
that NEEDS TO DESPERATELY
COME BACK IN A
TWITTER WORLD
OF SHORT
ACRONYMS
AND BLURBS
BEFORE HUMANS
fade away
in the
shallows
of life
forever…..
sad is what it is..
in my opinion.. and
that is the opinion of
my Great Aunt Jettie
before she passes away
and gives me this gift as
well to carry on as a wayward
son
of sorts…
Hey, Fred, nice stream, lovely recall. Your short version poems are continuing to wow the dVerse gang who stop by. Hope U make it over to my site when U have time.
Ha! Glenn! you are the only ‘reason’ i am here..
My style in stream of consciousness poetry
is impossible in just 24 lines
as i go vertical and
horizontal.. as
speech does not
travel lines either.. real
human emotional speech flows
like the golden Spiral mean of 1.618..
God flows the way i write poetry and i
flow with GOD as the same pattern of a tidal WAVe..:)
You didn’t get kicked out for expanding your lines.. so i suppose
i am safe too.. for now at least.. oh the rules.. oh the rules of death in life..:)
So sad as we drift away.. are lost.. and no one attempts to find us anymore… but so true.. that so many people live in this place now.. young and old.. where only the wings are heard.. as shuffling feet go by..
I know this place all too well..
there is no age limit
to loneliness..
and the loss
of humanity..
by nature
and cultural
unwitting design..
most sadly of all
TOTALLY PREVENTABLE IN MANY CASES
for those who will hear the simple cures of being human
and no.. i’m not kidding move.. connect.. and create.. or just lose it….
sooner and
sooner
rather than later
and later..
there are
no smart
phones
that work
in
some
places
where the
human heArt goes…
Ah.. the monologues of care passing ships
never meet on sea of fog..
oh.. distrActions
bring new
way of
focus
wheEre human
ears never fear
Loss
of
heARt
seaRinG
spiRit
fliGht

dROWn
bottom ocean
deep sHallows…
Oh Mary.. oh sweet Mary..
i know that’s your name
but it is also an
expression of deep
concern.. seriously younger
folks these days do not talk
at all.. text replaces
the human
heArt of talk
and this is
a real problem
as the human
touch of flesh and
blood in voice and
non-verbal
communication
is where human
empathy
lives
the most..
drive by shootings
are what
comes
from that..
and so on…
Wars and such
as that too.. and so on…
and perhaps that’s just GOD’s way of thinning the population
FOR those
who live
out
of HUMAN
BALANCE…
AS GOD DOESN’T
HAVE TO PLAY BY
CULTURE AND RELIGION RULE..
GOD IS FREE.. and we BE best
to listen WITHIN and be FREE TOO..
IN balance of course..
WITH sMiles again
talk..
Loving TOUCH..
iN eYes LOVE..:)
Oh Glenn.. you FEEL i WILL love this one..
and relate to every syllable like it is my
own.. thanks for insuring my visit
and this is the first one i visit
as i always gauge how much
freedom i can get
first by reading
you hehe!..
hey those
who survive
find ways to do it..
hehA!.. but anyway
as i sit in the rows of
Southern Baptist Gospel
Singings where all is left
is grey hair rows.. with me
slowly greying.. not quite
as fast.. as i’ve learned to
live instead of hope
to die and
go to
heaven or what
not with pearly
gates and
clear gold
floors.. i feel
so sad that these people
do not and seem to cannot
understand that the only heaven
is now.. and i mean my GOD is all
this beauty for nothing.. and just
a dream.. HELL NO.. this is heaven
as dream now.. for those
who see the gift
of NOW
as IS
heaven no
different than my
cat who is the sand
in midday SUN or
in midnight
moon liT
grass
as blades
of ONE..
or all our ancestors
dancing naked around
campfires forevermoreNOW
oh life.. oh life i love you
now.. oh feelings.. oh feelings
i hug you now.. oh people
oh.. people cannot
you ‘see’ me
i
AM
ALiVE..
NOW..:)
Oh God how beautiful Kanzensakura and with
the smell of your figs.. i feel the strong hand
that picks cotton to raise sisters and
waitresses 12 hours a day
to raise mother and her sisters..
living in shotgun home
on river way.. father
leaves…matriarchal family
stays strong women
i learn
to
LOVE..:)
And Yes my friend
you prove time and
time again.. that YOU
ARE A STRONG WOMAN
TOO..:)
i love you
just the
way you
are..:)
And i my friend
am a brave
man.. and no
i’m not afraid
to admit that..
either..;)
Turn it OFF
and live..
then share
IT and Live
LIVE NOW
move
connect
create
sleep..
and turn
IT off AGAIN
LIVE NOW
FRIEND..:)
Ah.. food defining culture
and behind the cooks
that make it are
always wonderful
women of all
kinds and
i’ll leave
it at that
to eat
again..
smiles..:)
Black Widow Coffee woman

oh meet me half way..
oh not.. there is
distance
near
where
rear is forward pointing…
i don’t drink coffee
at
all..
smiles..
innoculation
pure from Black
Widow Coffee
brew..
i
do..
NOT..:)
Ah yes.. death is a visitor
that will not wait for
settling affairs
after last
breath..
but to face it is to live..
and oh boy.. a real relief
to those left behind who do
not have to pick up a thousand
loose ends and to connect the dots..
of what
could
of been
done before
in full honest
of caring now..:)
Oh.. so true.. a tree that hoards
leaves cannot spread
fertilizer for blades
of lawns of
meadows
of flowers
of bees of
pollinating
Life to Love
to LivE for NOW..:)
So true.. deepest
Love dying eYes

This reminds me some 7.7 years ago
or so.. when i lose my emotions
all feelings of warm and
fuzzy.. sitting at the
edge of my mother’s
bed knowing there is
that warm comfort
once and asking
her wasn’t
i ever happy
i know i
was but
i never
knew all
feelings can go away…
and that’s all that really
counts.. FeeLinGs.. THE LessOn.. FEELS
NOW..:)
Oh the beauty.. the fountain of youth
is all feeling.. all else
is illusion..
close one’s
eYes and see
Truth and Light
comes as REAL..
and most importantly
keep moving.. connecting
creating.. feel JUST FEEL…:)
WORDS ARE NEVER EVER now..
ENOUGH.. smiles.. Heaven NOW..:)
Well.. my sister Lynn
here we are at the end..
again.. it’s 911.. it’s an emergency yes..
but it’s good news.. i JUST write 66 thousand
words this week.. and i’ve come to an epiphany
of sorts.. more or less before as well.. and that
is Heaven is
Now.. but
we must
continue
to build
it.. so
‘HE’ WiLL STAY..:)
Love this!
Beautifully executed 😀
Hi Sanaa.. Thanks so much for coming by and providing
those nice words of beauty and execution.. smiles..;)
Fun that you focused on doughnuts. ..and I’m reading on an empty stomach.
I understand that limits aren’t your thing, Fred–I see two reasons why we have set them from time to time–those tending bar read all the poems and we want to do them justice–ergo, shorter works better (especially for those of us with old backs). The other things is, from my perspective, “tight writing” is a part of editing–at least that’ what I’ve been taught. I had to edit my poem a lot to meet the limits and cut out a few lines I really wanted to keep…but sometimes I will cut and past those for another poem (same with novel writing). I admit, this is a hard prompt to keep brief–conversation probably calls for more than 24 lines. I think I’ve mentioned to you before that with your longer ones, I may just focus in on one portion and that way I get more out of it.
Hope you understand that we are not trying to be discriminatory here–you have much to share. And then, as you have done before–there’s always comments to use that we can read when and if we have time. (and look how long my comment is). Thanks.
Well.. actually Victoria I always follow the rules here.. but when they are only enforced with me i follow the common rule that applies to others..
and yes.. the times when my poems
were deleted those rules
were not
applied to others equally
but i read on all poems
and comment on all
poems no matter
what and have close
to a photographic memory
for text.. and i don’t play games…
and when I am treated unfairly
no matter where i go I
do not just shut up
and let it go..
until i speak
my peace..
then i let i all go
smiles.. dVerse has
been steadily losing
participation since
Claudia and Brian
let it go..
and those numbers
are precisely in alignment
with quite frankly these ridiculous
new restrictions.. and seriously if
people follow them i have no
problem following them
too.. and seriously
dear it’s a 206 word
poem.. poetry
is not
science
it is art..
and when we make
it science it is not even
fun anymore.. this isn’t a
job for anyone.. it’s a volunteer
effort.. take the fun away..
and this place
will eventually
die.. i’ve
seen that
happen everywhere
i go in life.. it’s sad so
yes.. i speak up friend without fear..
and then i let it go.. if you guys do not
like what i post when i post the same
way other folks post in terms of the
restrictions you make.. you can delete
me if you like.. i am here to get
inspired and to love life..
not for likes or comments
or anything else
my friend..
and if you haven’t
noticed now for a long
time i post shorter stuff
than most anyone
except for open
link night..
and still
complaints come
when it is supposed
to be open.. after i have
explained myself time and time
again.. that i create a new form
of epic free verse poetry mixed
with multi-media for a new younger
age of poets who can appreciate
it.. and seriously this ain’t nothing
new everytime someone does
something new in this
world
there are those
who just say
SHUTUP
AND DON’T DO IT..
I CAN PLAY BY THE RULES
AS THEY ARE PROVIDED AND
ENFORCED
FAIRLY
my friend..:)
But anyway thanks for the compliment
about the poem and trust me
i worked for the
government for
almost a quarter
of a century.. i
can play by the
rules almost
better than anyone
and yes.. it almost killed
me.. but sometimes when the
rules truly get ridiculous someone
has to speak up to make things better
as again otherwise we all lose.. and
yes rules are vital as well
as long as they
are rational
and reasonable..
smiles..:)
The government
is neither rational
OR REASONABLE
in ways of red
tape.. and
that’s why
we are losing
in terms of debt
in our country..:)
SOMEONE NEEDS TO
SPEAK OUT ALWAYS
WHEN THERE
IS TRULY
REASON
FOR IT..
SMILES AGAIN..:)
Your point is a good one, Fred. Any rules should be clearly stated and applied to all.
Thanks Victoria.. and i do not think it was done
with malicious intent but trust me too..
i have a very fine pencil.. readily
admitting now… that i was very hard to work
for as manager/supervisor/administrator..
so yes.. i’ve been on the other side of the
coin.. and i realize not everyone’s
pencil is as sharp as mine..
and that’s why
i speak
up and
just let it go.. NOW..
it’s hard having
the ‘highest
STANDARD
IQ’ in
‘the room’
sometimes
and i say that
with both all due
humility and respect..
as it’s gotten me in trouble
more than once in a paying
job my
friend..
smiles..:)
Thanks.. you have
always been kind
and fair to me..
and a big reason
why i have stuck
around as long
as i have..
but yeah.. i’m
kinda resilient
these days too.. smiles..
and i’ve given up the LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAT THAT RUNS
IN MY FAMILY STRONG.. AND
TRULY THAT HAS NOT BEEN
EASY TURNING IT IN FOR
AN ART HAT.. BUT
YES.. MUCH MORE
FUN LIKE
REALLY
LIVING FRIEND..:)
Smiles.
Bowling and donuts! A combination enough to make one concentrate and play well!
Hank
Hi Hank.. surprisingly almost working 2 decades at a Bowling Center for the Military and managing it i never learned to bowl.. and that’s the way it is most of my life..
i just go with the flow and make it happen..
and doughnuts ugh.. i hate sugary
stuff.. i am told i’m
sweet enough
as i am..
HA!..;)
Bowling and donuts! Now that is all kinds of sweet fun. It was hard for me to get this prompt in 24 lines because of all the conversations I had with my grandmother, that lasted forever!
Smiles.. Thanks Kanzen Sakura..:)
I haven’t been here in awhile so sorry, I do enjoy your flow of words. Poetry is not a science it is an art..so well said..there is no right or wrong in my book.
Hi Truedessa.. no need for apologies.. i am very blessed to be retired.. healthy in EXTREME energy and FOCUS.. and have this as a special interest just for hobby and fun.. i am here to share and i have no expectations as i know AND FEEL we all walk in different shoes of challenges.. responsibilities ..and nows available to do what we want to do in life..
if i still worked for the last 5 years FOR MONEY instead of write FOR FUN.. there will be zero words from me on the Internet instead of 11 million.. but yes.. this is a focus of fun for me.. so yes… again both blessed and fortunate i am.. and i always appreciate your kind comments on my blog for what i write here..
And for me when i read whatever it is someone writes i view it as their soul.. and usually do not judge it one way or the other.. i usually just get inspired and write what comes from my heart.. in response.. instead of going the analytical critical route.. in assessments now..
And yes.. i am extremely lucky both to have a heart and have the ability to do that… as i and so many others.. and some folks here who write have most certainly been in that OTHER PLACE TOO.. smiles.. off to dance.. but will be by your place tomorrow to read and comment friend.. Truedessa.. thanks so much.. and hope you are doing great now..:)
Not a big fan of doughnuts myself.. Good company and bowling can be fun though..
Hi Bjorn.. me too..ugh.. i can hardly stand sugary doughnuts.. and i don’t like to bowl.. but give me company and fun.. and of course I’m happy…:)
Sorry kids am late getting back to you friend .
I love places like the bowling alley where people gather in mass. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. It would be greAt to meet sometime.
I am obviously still writing to the prompts but I am taking a break from the pub. I will still be writing and still be around .
Ah.. no problem X.. as you know by now i will find you.. whoever you are heheR.. by your own signature of writing.. that never has a name but you.. and this experience with dVerse continues to be fascinating.. particularly after spending 56 months or so.. on an online site for folks with higher functioning autism who have somewhere around 140 to 160 IQ’s as polled with huge verbal IQ’s but most often.. cannot find meanings of metaphors to save their souls.. and in a way i mean that literally too.. sadly enough.. and while i’ve never had THAT much problem.. i am getting better at it as time goes on.. smiles..
But anyway.. i find the same issues everywhere on the Internet where some folks are open minded to the new and some folks are closed minded to the new.. and the video i shared from Ted Haidt.. in the Ted Talk show… talks to that as a basic human innate issue THAT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE.. and truly ALL THAT should be obvious as the country is always divided nearly 50-50 down the line in conservative and liberal ways of thinking and the entire spectrum of human differences THAT comprises.. BUT to get it in ‘writing’ is kinda nice.. to share with the more logical science minded crowd.. who want to KNOW nothing but ‘the facts ma’am’.. iN a Dragnet kinda way…
Well.. i don’t give an F in Flying me if anyone likes or does not like the fact i can write an epic free verse poetry effort of close to 26,000 words in one post as i did with the ‘Match Box Catches Fire’ post.. butt here’s the thing.. if it was not for your ADHD LIBERAL OPEN MIND LIKE MINE.. i would have likely NOT have accomplished that.. as you fueled the fire of my creativity.. by not stifling it for close to two years while it was brewing.. as it is not likely I could have gotten away with as many of my ‘antics’ at any other place of poetry online as you for one in charge as the ‘big dude’.. allowed here…
And here’s the other thing.. ALL THAT STUFF I DID.. AND ALL THE STUFF I CONTINUE TO DO.. is part of the art and science of human creativity.. it doesn’t meet biblical or poetry science tradition.. after the Victorian Age at least.. but it is now proven by science to work TO WORK TO WORK.. AND WE HUMANS are very sensual beasts.. and although for the example of dance while i am not looking for an END PRODUCT PER SE.. WHEN BEAUTIFUL GIRLS DANCE WITH ME OR THEY DO THEIR FEMALE DISPLAYS OF TWERkING.. IF IT IS THERE IT NATURALLY FUELS MY DANCE HIGHER.. IN CREATIVITY AS GOD EVOLVES US TO BE TO SIMPLY SURVIVE MY FRIEND.. AND THAT CONTINUES ON ALL NATURALLY INTO POETRY THE NEXT DAY AND I CAN EMPIRICALLY MEASURE THAT AS THE ‘MATCH BOX’ CATCHES FIRE.. HAHA..!..:)
TO WORK WITH GOD NO HoldS BARrED LIKE KING DAVID DANCING MOSTLY NAKED BEFORE SO-CALLED SERVANT GIRLS IS TO BE IN THE KNOW AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FEEL OF ALL NATURAL GOD THAT LIVES WITHIN AND who LOVES IT WHEN WE FULLY EXPRESS GOD.. TO TRULY GIVE GOD THE BEST TIME POSSIBLE AS WE TOO ARE THE EYES OF GOD.. and to be FRANK PEN IS TOO.. in writing.. OR WIENERS AS IT WERE.. HEHE.. IF ONE IS IN POLITICS AS WELL HAHA!..
MOST PEOPLE SPEND THEIR LIFE
LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR GOD..
WHEN WE ARE ThERE
ALL tHe NOW..
AND THE SADDEST THING OF ALL
IS TO DIE NEVER KNOWING AND FEELING
THAT MY FRIEND.. SO YES.. I DANCE NAKED
AND WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRLS
(not at the same time of course.. heHE)
IN TOWN.. TO CONTINUE
TO GIVE GOD WHO LIVES
WITHIN ME..
THE BEST
TIME ON
THE TOWN
OF LIFE.. SMILES
AND GRINS.. AND
YES.. LOVE YOU FRIEND..:)
And yeah..
you’ll
see me
sometime
either ‘tHere’
or
‘here’….;)
And see what i just
did.. that ain’t a
Haibun
that’s
a Fredbun..;)
Yeah.. overall
at least GOD
is a
LAUGH
TOO..
BUT THAT’S
PERHAPS THE DEEPEST
PaRT of GOD that
when onE tRuly
‘sees’ it
they are
never ever
afraid of
death again
and most importantly
LIVE NOW ALWAYS LIKE
IT’S HEAVEN AS THEY
FINaLLY GET
WHeRE THEY
TRULY
CAN
BE..
WITH GOD
AND NOT
AGAINST
GOD AS MOST RELIGIONS
AND CULTURES WILL HAVE
IT THROUGH PSYCHOPATHIC
LEANING HEARTS.. SPIRITS..
AND SOULS LIVING IN A HELL
THEY HAVE NO IDEA THEY
EXIST IN
AS
WELL..
KarmA
agaiN
IT’S THE
FOOD I EAT
BY JUST
DOING
IT ALWAYS
NOW MY FRIEND..
X..:)
If only they ‘KNEW IT’
IF ONLY THEY ‘KnEW IT’
most importantly if ONLY
THEY FEEL IT KnOW AND PRACTICE
IT AS AN ART OF GOD AND NOT FRIGGING
SCIENCE
OF JOHN 3:16..
AND YEAH THAT REMINDS ME OF THE
LOCALS LAST NIGHT PASSING
BY IN A TRUCK SCREAMING
THE NAME OF JESUS IN
BLOOD CURDLING YELLS
OF THREAT.. AND
AND AS I AM
WALKING DOWN
THE STREET
THEY ARE ON
LEAVING THE
DANCE HALL I
JUST WANT TO
SHOW THEM HEAVEN
AND LET THEM MEET
A FLESH AND BLOOD JESUS
BUT I COULDN’T TALE THEM
THAT I WOULD HAVE to ‘LeT’ THEM
FEEL IT TO BELIEVE IT’S REAL
AND NO FAIRY TALE IN A BOOK
OF RECITATIONS OF MAGIC
INCANTATIONS
FROM 3500 TO
2000 YEARS
AGO..
SIGNATURES
COME BEFORE
THE REAL THING..
THAT PART NEVER
CHANGES
EITHER..
in human
terms now..
and yeah..
i’m on the prowl
to find more Jesus’..
welcome to the team..
we can call it team X for now
at
least..;)
And yeah.. there’s a sonG

Hi Fred, finally reached the comment box here! I bowled on a team years ago and had fun meeting people though not a great bowler 🙂 My dad has a T-shirt: “a doughnut a day”…yes, he loves them.
Ha! yes! my comments section grows and grows as the the now goes on.. and that’s IT THAT.. explains it all.. why you are such a nice person.. you are a bowler.. smiles.. and your Dad likes sweet stuff so he raised you that way.. smiles.. again.. at any rate.. per line or lane.. or comment SECTIONS on the way down.. hehe.. thanks for stopping by sister with those casual words of Lynn.. smiles hmm.. yeah.. 3 times..;)
I enjoyed this. Human touch is conversation too and often more effective. Bowling, donuts….oh, the simpler good old days!
Hi Mishunderstood.. thanks for coming by and visiting me.. and glad you enjoyed my art of conversation.. yes.. the good old days.. of human touch.. is where i Love to Live for NOW.. as well.. with sMiles of course..:)
