Hey David ..... just wanted to stop in. 

Always good to see you.

Peace.  J.

Frisky eh!? Damn the man

Yet I know

 

We met

Decades ago

 

You across a room

Seeing me in gloom

 

From your face

 

Not a wink

Nor hint of a smile

 

You knew

 

And with only that nod

Stopped me

In mid-blissful

Swoon

 

Conveyed

 

I'll be with you

In your last mile

Though now

Nor ever

 

Will we be closer

Than this moment

Across this room

 

 

That was beautiful.  Thank you.

(((hugs)))

Peace.  J.

Here is my brief:

 

1]  Within 22 hours I will have been here for sixty-eight years.

 

2] Within the past 14 hours I have consumed 6400ml of LAOSHAN BEER.

 

3] Within the past three hours, around midnight here in Qingdao on the coast of China, I buried Toby.

 

4] In six hours I will depart Qingdao for Kula Lumpur, Malaysia or my first exit from China in 28 months.

 

5] In addition to the LAOSHAN beer I also drank five or six vodka and tonics.

 

6] I caused the death of my very best friend, Toby, a street dog with a huge and brave heart in such a small

    a small and not too handsome body with a somewhat ungly face.

 

All this conveyed to clarify that the preceding poem was intended for: iliketiedyed.

 

Sincerely, David Tecumseh Schmidr    namaste

 

 

David .....  I feel that what you had to do for Toby was out of love and love alone and the best option.  Toby was so so lucky to have you.  Toby knew you cared.  Please remember all that was good.  Remember the friendship.  Most of all the love.  Toby does not blame you.  I don't blame you.

I know this is a huge step for you.  You will be in my thoughts as you travel.

Take care of yourself.

Peace.  Julie
 

what a beautiful poem mr david.

Very nice.

I know.... but you must admit it's only 1 letter away from a certain F-word it resembles... enough similarity that most readers would spot the similarity and it can function as a way to show your feelings about AUSPONA in a similar context to the F-word. The choice and arrangement of terms in FUDKING almost looks designed to create the similarity, to the layperson anyway, and I think Match assumed that it implied that

That said, I wish people were more aware of what bush was doing - destroying the environment for starters, flushing the world down the toilet. But ahhh it's all over now You can come home, whenever you want to, if you feel able to tolerate the place in light of what remains... unless you're happier where you are, I suppose be wherever you're most comfortable!

I strived with deliberate intent to coin a word to "frame" what those rotten mother fucking retrograde, kleptocratic, redneck, racist Republicans were about. I sought help from retired English teachers [I got the videos; circa 2003 Adrian, Michigan] to both identify and label the fudkers with a word or phrase.

 

"Liberal" is what I have been tagged as; what I have been ACCUSED of being; what I have been ostracized for being and near-spat-upon and held in deep disdain and held out for public ridicule for being for years and years and decades and decades.

 

So, now, should it be with the term fudking Republican people conjure FUCKING REPUBLICAN, it pleases me.                                 Sincerely without even 1/10 an iota of eqivocation,  David Tecumseh schmidt

Yep
I wish also they didn't see liberal as a bad thing, like they've already decided right is right and anything that isn't that extreeme is outright socialism (which is taboo), like having free healthcare (like over here) - I mean britain is a long shot from being socialist, but we just look after our own. It annoys me how people associate the soviet attrocaties with socialism because it doesn't represent those ideals (was only left in name), true leftism hasn't had the chance to prove itself, or at least hasn't been sustained yet, When the state or any one person has a lot of power, it needs to be kept in check so the wrong people don't come in and abuse it - that could be done with a voting system maybe, so if things ever get too bad hopefully the people would have a voice, as a safety net

just noticed, happy b'day! + mebbe you'll appreciate the humour in something I just blogged (that could be like a b'day treat)

Wow

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY

  DAVID!”

Happy Birthday!
