Experience was something I did not have. At twenty two I wanted to write imitating F. Scott Fitzgerald publishing; perhaps fame. Ah, writing would reign a rewarding adventure. And, write I did causing in readers no astounding appreciation regardless of literary vehicle. Despite failure I did not stop writing Although functionally creating policy and procedures elucidating military or higher education prescriptions for guidance and direction it satisfied some aching spot fulfilling an internal need for writing creatively. Now I know need must precede desire desire must be infused with passion passion perseverance and publishing leads to experience. Experience is the prescription for writing well. lawrence j. klumas © july 2014

I started growing measuring each incremental inch in the doorway frame grinning as it clearly showed a spurt. Although my bones were aching I ran as fast as I could to the corner and back time and time again Challenging my small young frame to ache and grow And, oh, the pleasure of those growing aches as I leaped to push upward taller older. Those aches felt so good! lawrence j klumas © july 2014

Aching Bones

We were in the fourth grade. Richie Ackerman was having a birthday party. There were the two twin sisters so exceptionally cute blonde hair in dresses. We played spin the bottle. First kiss was regular mail kneeling or seated. Second kiss was air mail standing in place. Third kiss was special delivery in the hallway. In the circle of players Richie spun first -- his birthday after all. Must have been my tenth time around before a regular mail kiss with one of the twins. She smiled a welcome. I was shaking. Right on the lips very short very soft she smelled so good. The game proceeded we experienced more kissing yet that first kiss lingers on.
