Foresight


“Those things give you foresight, Foureyes?” Billy taunted.

“Sure, they let me see a lot.” I smiled knowingly.

“Yeah? Maybe I should try them.” Billy snatched my glasses. Moments later, his jaw dropped. “Dude! The detail!

That’s how the school bully became an honor roll student, and my best friend.

I have been writing, in some form or another, since 1967. In that year, I wrote a rather silly story about a cat and a mouse which my teacher allowed me to read in "episodes" when there was time at the end of class. While it may have been mainly for the break from teaching the rest of my classmates said they enjoyed it. I was hooked. I do not remember what year or on what board I made my first poetry post, but I have been around quite a while. In June 2015, I became a quadriplegic, which is why I have not been around for some time. I am now using voice recognition software called Dragon Naturally Speaking in order to post. I thank God that I still have my brain and my voice. To quote from Monty Python's Holy Grail, "I'm not dead yet!"

    • Thank you very much Stephen – for the pingback to your poem as well as your comment on my “Great Novel”. If you try one, keep in mind that the title does not count against the word limit but also should not be used to try to tell the story.

      • I very much enjoyed it, and the other’s you’ve written. An interesting challenge. I am planning to try it sometime, along with a couple other forms you’ve suggested, though I may need to create a new site if I want to post any of them as this one I’ve dedicated to the ha’sonnet form. I already failed at a Saturnica because I didn’t read all the rules first, but I like what I wrote 🙂.
