The Year Was 1955
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, there’s an easy, conversational rhythm here…moving from identity into experience, then landing on that final moment with the neighbor. It feels real, not forced, and the humor comes through naturally. A good story well told. And yay for Soren in prompting it! Rock on both of you! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Harsh, sharp, and raw—your lines cut right to the bone.
The grit of consequence seeps through every word.

I don\'t know whether to say a fun read or engaging one but a good one none the less. It was note the fleas that were the shame when I was a kid but the lice that got passed on at school and taken home. Everyone terrified that the neighbors would find out and would swear the children to secrecy while they ran to the corner drug store to get medicated shampoo being very careful to see who was looking. The cashier like a priest held the secrets of all. Loved it Dave made me smile

Imagine a life
Without the words that you write
Would lead you nowhere.
I write many haikus and senryus Dave.

The funny thing about haiku is that it was developed and apt for Nihongo, having been anglicised has made it a somewhat different animal altogether. 🙏🕊️

“Comment from author about the poem: Public apologies to Doggy Dave, just cause I find you rude doesn’t mean I should be to you. I still try to respect my elders..” (Late comment on D Desu\'s piece)https://mypoeticside.com/show-poem-220266
So this, from my POV is a shallow attempt to hose things down and is hollow at its core. Let\'s analyze your belated statement:
• How have you found me rude? I don’t think I ‘ve contributed to your posts because initially you did not allow comments but commented on others work.. demonstrating a deficiency somewhere and a general lack of maturity – confirmed now by your little guerilla exercise on me. If you had a problem with me, then you could have confronted me. Your post/delete, post/delete with the content incoherent was childish in the extreme.
• Respect me because I’m old?? I don’t expect anyone to respect me because I’m old. Respect me for my opinions – or not. What I have being old is the experience to recognize an idiot and shyster from a long distance.
• Please note: Do not delete this; I have retained a copy and will repost either here or separately should you ignore/block me.
BUT HE DID - SO READ IT HERE IF YOU WISH...

Now this rhyme strikes a true note self pity is a terrible disease thought I had it once but it was just a bad case of fleas. Another interesting read Dave Most that have the disorder are not strong enough to survive it. Hope that they don\'t take matters into their own hands. Lot of fragile people these days. Well written though my friend.

Dunno why I\'ve turned up here. Sir Orchi NS to the rescue. What rescue? Dunno - a mad moment! No change there then from me. lol.
A typical NS comment. You knows him, Sir Orchi. If he got nothing useful to say, he will say it anyway. And he will always use 50 words when 5 will do. Heehee.
He keeps taking the tablets, but - Oh, I dunno, they don\'t seem to make any difference. lol.

completely in tune with your comments - some just pop up now and then ; some are silent spectators; some may just read to pass their time - this is a really meaningful question that demands a straightforward answer -
but maybe all are too caught up in their own lives to respond

Sharp and witty—your lines cut through pomp and pretense.
A clever, gritty reminder that power only holds as long as we let it.

I sometimes think it would be better if there were a king but not the one that thinks he is one. It would give the public something to look forward to beheadings at weekly football games, that would sell a lot of products especially if it were restricted to kings that were not popular. As for cars you are fortunate I guess but that means living around a lot of people to get public transportation.
