Poetry Day: Look At Us

Posted on August 15, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(The desire for attention is stronger today than when I wrote this poem.  Sad thing is that it seems to be more financially sound to do this.) Stupid stunts and sickness Done in the camera’s eye And posted without fears … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Lonely Lyrox

Posted on July 25, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Let Me Out

Posted on July 18, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Legacy Interrupted

Posted on July 11, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Posted on June 27, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(This poem is a fictional set up type of thing.  Just wrote it randomly and thought it could be a good premise for a future story.  I believe it was matched up with another poem or story about a magic … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Ira

Posted on June 13, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Invention of the Tie

Posted on June 6, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(I hate ties.  Used to be okay when they were clip-ons.  After that, I didn’t like the sensation of something being tightly wrapped around my neck.  Can’t get used to that feeling at all.  Also, I don’t really care about … Continue reading →
