Pieces floating off
With every gentle breeze
Disappearing in the dark
A gradual erosion
Of a body made from ash
Crinkling with every step
Causing more to disappear
Until the stiff wind comes
And takes his form away
(April 1st Entry of Ranting Papizilla’s poetry month challenge.)
About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
