Good luck passing your drivers test @bleedspoet !! Such a dramatic poetry though lol! Thanks for sharing , Upped !✌👍😀💙
You'll see in Black (2) I passed, leads to a new job and new freedoms. Was 2002 so if I hadn't passed then I'd hope to have passed by now. In fact I let my license expire living in Toronto and had to start the Ontario graduated license from scratch again 7 years later.
Oh , right , my son knows that feeling he has tostart from scratch as well with the graduated licensing , but he owes ICBC a couple grand here in BC so it will be awhile before he even goes in again lol! Best of luck to you !👍👍👍
A man walked into my life and left me without words and energies, but full of feelings and passion, that's why I haven't been inspired to write much lately.
I feel exactly like that: "a poem left dumb in the presence of beauty".
It is one of my great struggles, trying to write when everything is swell. I don't like to brag, I realize not everybody wants to hear how happy I am and how wonderful life is, so I sit silenced by my own good fortunes😕
Well you shouldn't sit silenced-
Write about happiness when you have it, my dear. It is the happy memory you will need when life is not going swell later.
You write the sad stuff so that you can feel fortunate in the good times.
You write the happy stuff so that you can feel hope that things can change in the sad times.
You shouldn't let your viewership stop you from expressing happiness Eli - That's just fucking stupid, brother.
You are the way you are. Life is made by phasis, something wild, sometimes, happy, sometimes lunatic. Accept and you don't need to show or describe any single one. Share what you feel people would appreciate and what would make you feel good to remember.
It's scary how little of the last 20 years I actually remember.
Should also note most of the stuff you do remember is pretty fuckin scary😄
That's why I wrote so much, my Opa was going through oldtimers and started forgetting stuff and sounding like a broken record. It's amazing how many years and memories seem lost to me because I didn't write them down, names and dates just gone.
Young bucks got the world on a chip, that uneasily balances on his shoulder. It is a beautiful chip though.
Poor kid just wanted to pass his drivers test. Results tommorow😄
You have always been melodramatic then?
No melodrama to it, I lived in butt fuck nowhere, any job was at least an hour and half by bike. A lot was riding on that test, mainly freedoms, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I see-I see (not melodramatic whatsoever-- cough)- Well how's life these days? Get out to see the Oma?
Going tomorrow for a county run. Kind of glad to have a few days off.
I know the visit will do her heart good and yours.
What if I spell 'simple' like 'symple' then I won't have to 'smile' ;) I kid because I like. Good stuff.
As far as regrettably kitschy lines, I'd say that one took the cake. Realize I read some of these now with a real wtf disgust
lol
Self loathing is the cornerstone of a poets heart, isn't it? :)
Some things age like wine, others age like cheese. Cheese will always be cheese 😄🧀
Also-- just because you are always doing it to me, I think you meant to write
xP Sorry, you can just see it on my front feed, I was distracted by it. XP
Fair enough, if you hadn't pointed it out my wife would have. I've never said than in my life.
Now you have two people helping you - what joy!

Where were You ?
When i posted comment
at that moment.
Where were you?
It does not matter
because you are reading my comment now,
For me it is better.
And alas, it does not matter when these were wrote, I offer them to be read a first time, that they may bring a smile or a tear, a relatable fear, because we're all just human here.
Your posts are amazing! Don't stop!
Thank you. This Is the first of many from this book.
have a nice day @ bleedpoet
Thank you.
