seventy-six my last birthday hah! I counted the candles on a nonexistence cake saw flames flaring on the horizon in the cyberspace of my life watched the sun sinking into the west if I am quick enough maybe there is time to yearn for . . . ©May 12, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Oh go press the wrinkles out of your birthday suit! Have you talked to Zoe about this? She might have a difference of opinion. Sounds like the Hovel needs a dose of fresh air and sunlight.... ~L |

Naw, I'm good to go, Lori. Besides I do not have wrinkles in my birthday suit, you vixen you. Zoe is cool with my forays into the dangerous, darker places I go within my poetry. All kidding aside, I am doing very well. Pouting, you never write me poems. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

By the way, by the bayou aside the swamp hunkered down, in the hovel hammering away at his keyboard whilst sipping his cheap red burgundy is a man of many monikers. The name by which he has often been called, though the name has never been spoken, is from the dearest of his affections. And this name is no mere token to be taken lightly or for granted. Its a name of devoted love for a true man that only one special lady can bestow. And that lady is his little dog Zoe, Her name for him is My Human. She loves him more than he will ever know. ~L |

Glad to see Lori cheering you up there, Jer. If it were up to me I think we all know how that would go. I can say that my own personal birthdays have always been some of the darkest times in my life... too many negatives they remind me of I suppose. Thank the heavens they only come once a year. You, I know still have some smiling ahead of you though, might as well start now. Michael |

Yeah, you're right Michael, smile on . . . About the birthdays, The only two birthdays which meant much to me was when I finally stumbled into my teenage years with number thirteen. Then it was my twenty-first birthday that I was happy about. The rest? Couldn't care less about any of them until I hit seventy. SEVENTY!!! DAMN!!! I said to myself. People start dying in the seventies . . . . Here I am seventy-six and looking forward to turning eighty . . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
