Hi, Lulube.
This is a great poem, one where justice is properly answered. Your note at the bottom says so much. We need to be advocates for ourselves, and not allow any system coerce or bully us.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

    knew you'd get this right down pat. You know who my friend is.Yep still coming over, everyday. He is working on my bike so it is rideable. I tend to fall over, even at a stand still. lol
    So now that this court thing for more support is over for him, he seems to have relaxed a bit concerning our friendship. Yeah, now I only have to work on this 17 yrs gap between us and see what the New Year has for us. lol
    A little spark in ones life can't be harmful, I hope.

    thxs for your review on this matter;

    Hi, Lulube.
    I'm glad things are working out so well for you! I haven't been on a bike in years, and would probably tip over. LOL Age differences are only numbers. Most important, he's a great friend and maybe...:D
    Have a great day!
    Bye, my friend.
    Hugs

    lol but am I really laughing? scared shitless. lol now I'm laughing,
    He says the same numbers thing, he says, let's just say we are both 50 yrs and leave it at that. He's been letting out his past more and more. He's an actor did I tell you that? on hiatus since his split with mother of his daughter. Says he just hasn't had his mind right to do the job.\
    I think I should try and encourage him to try it out again, start with some small bits here and there to get it going in his blood again. It's really interesting to watch tv with him. I worked with that guy, or girl, I did that role in that movie. surprise, surprise what he has done.
    He's genuinely interested in my daughter's free lancing for makeup artistry, since he's had them work on him lots.
    Life is throwing the ball, just need to figure out how fast the pitch is and to whom/
    later, my friend osie

    Hi, Lulube.
    I understand this is a huge step, but you deserve all the happiness! Close your eyes and block out the age differences.

    My parents were ten years apart and married for 36 years, prior to my mom's death.

    Your personality is fun, lively and young. Age is a number! He certainly sees you for who you are, not a number.

    How exciting that he was/is an actor. I went to school with a voice actress. She shared so many fun stories about the industry.

    Maybe once he's settled, now that things have calmed down, he'll return to acting, especially with your support.

    How great that he gets along with your daughter.

    So close your eyes and leap! Toss the age difference out the window. You have so much to offer someone. He's lucky to have such a wonderful friend... and ... fill in the blanks.:D
    Bye, my friend!

    Thank you rosie for the moral booster. Keep your blindfold on and not worry. Got it! I'll for sure be letting you know what's going on. Only when I know. lol

    He lives upstairs and that is too funny. No excuses that he can't make it over and can go home whenever at what ever time he wants.
    A new year is approaching and one never knows what the next year has in store for them

    thanks again my friend

    Hi, Lulube.
    You have so much to offer to someone! You're funny, warm and have such a great life outlook. Taking things slowly is smart. You really get to know one another.

    Think of it, you both save gas and wear and tear on the cars living so closely together. LOL

    Joking aside, you are a great lady! Age is only a number. He sounds like a super nice guy, one that sees all your best qualities. What's great is that you've both given the time to really get to know one another, form a bond of friendship and trust. The other will fall into place when you're ready. :)

    Have a great day, my friend!
    Bye
    Hugs

Hi Lulube,
well glad your friend got his day in court, but better still was found innocent... you had me sitting in court with him and probably you... yeah, I was the dude sitting to your right... you know the handsome guy with the worried look... smile)))))). Nah, in all seriousness a very visual write in this free verse style of poetry... well penned... and yeah)))) for justice that prevails, well the alternative is not a pleasant thought.

With our thoughts we create,
a plea on innocence,
James xx.

    Hey Jumbo

    thxs for your great response, Pleasure to read your comments and review, always. Nope I wasn't there. don't do court anymore, thank God. Learned how to keep the nose clean while watching more than partaking.` I do confess, the mind did tend to wander a bit, now and then. Many a story could tell.

Good idea, lulube. If you don't speak for yourself, the lawyer your lawyer will speak for you and the bill will put you on the street. LOL

For me it was for a divorce which my ex-husband got away with just defending himself. It wasn't even in a courtroom. I paid over $12,000 dollars over five years ago, and still haven't gotten the paper to prove I am not married to him.

    oops for you. a lot of expense just not to be with someone anymore. Guess that's why I've never married. Just take what you came into this relationship and leave is my motto.

reply by Drew Delaney on 20-Nov-2014
    After 42 years of marriage, I at least needed half of what I worked for. No, there was no alimony, and the children were al grown. But I was getting old. Not many years left to work, so I had no choice.
reply by the author on 20-Nov-2014
    half is fair.... for a long time in a relationship. who's to say who deserves the most.

interesting that you write this pleasant piece of non rhyming prose in verse format. whenever I read something in verse format I tend to want to read the rhyme and the rhythm but it naturally never comes because its non rhyming prose. this is just a curious question more than a critical point.

I like what you have read and I am sure many victims or criminals out there can relate!

Lulube;
impressively capturing the readers attention, great inventive and creative imagination and very resourceful also, excellent descriptive and expressive imagery, progressive alliteration in "sculpt sideburns" and "one by one" and "come to claim" and "carefully chosen", via some of the traits and qualities that I found within your writing that I enjoyed very much reading.
It had me going there whether or not I would really receive a judges judiciary statement but rather was a very non-judgment call by the judge.
Good piece of writing I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always my friend.
Alex

Hi Lulube - a good poem - well written and referring to your author notes - wise words. But even when innocent the trial can be an ordeal and you have expressed this in your poem. A good read. Warm regards Dorothy x

I absolutely agree with you, I believe in justice and will stop at nothing to get it. Well chosen words and message. Hope you don't mind- I spotted an error. Verse 1, should read sculpted. Enjoyable read. Faye

Good to see your name pop up and happy to see your friend's court experience turn out good, especially after the long wait which you describe so well. The whole court scenario can be intimidating.
