POETRY: Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/possession-is-nine-tenths-of-law.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Possession is nine-tenths of the law. You possess the words. They don’t possess you. You possess something inexcusably tangible with every breath inhaled and exhaled. Your writing didn’t just sneak up on me. No your writing gave me a swift kick in the butt and continues to do just that as I read it and consume it and devour it like carrion and tubers. The talent does not possess you. You possess the talent. The talent does not reap the rewards you do. You’re a super nova. Percola...

POETRY: Gallagher, Wise and Cicirella
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/gallagher-wise-and-cicirella.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Gallagher, Wise and Cicirella. I don’t think it was lost on any one of us that we had turned onto a street with no outlet. We’re men and we’re musicians and writers and artists and associate professors and librarians and some or none of the above. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I believe in doing the work.

POETRY: Toast
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/toast.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. I’ve always found it interesting how toast can make you feel better. I’m not at all surprised how Trump makes us feel bad because I believe he was built to bring the very worst out in all of us. Someone needs to tell him his combover is not fooling anyone and if he really has as much money as he claims to then what’s wrong with being bald or heck even if he was broke I still think he should get rid of whatever that thing is on his head. And once you sprinkle some cinnamon and sug...

POETRY: Bad Cop, Bad Cop
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/bad-cop-bad-cop.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Bad Cop, Bad Cop. Why do cops keep killing black people? Or putting Eric Garner in a chokehold for about 15 to 19 seconds during an arrest even though he repeated at least eight times, “I can’t breathe.” The New York City Medical Examiner's Office attributed Garner's death to a combination of a chokehold, compression of his chest, and poor health. And now there’s the case of Sandra Bland who was found hanged in a jail cell in Texas three days after she was arrested during a...

POETRY: PB & J #2
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/pb-j-2.html
Tuesday, August 18, 2015. PB and J #2. Http:/ charlespoet.podomatic.com/entry/2015-08-18T12 28 29-07 00. I discovered Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter and everything has changed. I know you probably think I am making more out of this than I should, but I swear with Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter it’s not your grandfather’s PB and J or for that matter your father’s or even your second cousin’s twice removed. Oh who am I kidding? I discovered Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter and all was right with the world...

POETRY: In the Garden with Jim Pauley
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/in-garden-with-jim-pauley.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. In the Garden with Jim Pauley. He had this irresistible wit that would have you laughing in the aisles while also waking you up to some painful truth. I rarely look for another person’s acceptance and yet when it came to Jim I never wanted to disappoint him or feel like I had in some way let him down. Music was the bond we really had in common, and of course Bob Dylan was where he and I could meet and lose ourselves in hours of listening, savoring and getting it. I would say I...

POETRY: Threading the Needle
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/threading-needle.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. The words come or they don’t. The moods come or they won’t. And I have never been much of a stickler for sticking points. I may be a maverick or perhaps I’m a rogue. I could be a hopeless romantic or maybe just a hapless fool. I cannot remember the last time I fumbled around for the light switch, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that long ago. My new bifocals help me to see things more clearly. The sun rises and it sets. The moon shines and it frets. I believe in doing the work.

POETRY: Leah
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/leah.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Http:/ charlespoet.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-21T15 13 42-07 00. I met her and immediately liked her. She helped prove to me that not all people on FB are just emoticons and silly ass stickers. She also opened my eyes to fucking on Muppet sheets and that I’m not the only one who climbs inside of their writing and stays for a good long while because getting it just right is important in our land of no free lunches and welfare that in the end only benefits the rich. We live in a w...

POETRY: What if greatness eludes me?
http://charlespoet.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-if-greatness-eludes-me.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. What if greatness eludes me? Http:/ charlespoet.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-13T13 53 35-07 00. I know I possess greatness but what if it’s in my other pants? The words are coming so fast what if I don’t get them all down or I put them down in the wrong order? There's something happening here what it is ain't exactly clear. And you don’t have to point out to me that that line is not original because I already know and I don’t care. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). PB and J #2.
