Poetry Day: Monster City

Posted on October 24, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(A fun little poem about a city living on top of a giant.  Pretty sure this stemmed from the first ‘God of War’ game where you reach a temple on a Titan’s back.) Metropolis up high On a monster’s flattened … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Mind’s Eye

Posted on October 17, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(Not 100% sure where I was going here.  Possibly about how we examine and interpret the world through our own senses and mind.  Yet, we can run into people who view things differently.  Do we all share the same reality … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Mind Crumble

Posted on October 10, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(Spiraling into darkness and insanity.  Yeah . . . I don’t know how many of these poems I have, but it’s certainly a common theme.  That being said, it would be terrifying to be trapped in your own mind and … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Open Winged Greeting

Posted on October 8, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Here’s another excerpt from Quest of the Brokenhearted and it’s the introduction of a fun supporting character.  Lacarsis was a monster-making playground for me and I needed to think of a great way to start the tournament.  For some reason, this … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Marcylius the Cad

Posted on October 3, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(No idea what inspired this poem.  Think I was just going for an evil, manipulative womanizer.  An Incubus or vampire might have been something that triggered the creation of this poem.  Third option is that this was a character I … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Man of Verse or Volume

Posted on September 26, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(This poem stemmed from a debate.  A weird one too.  I pointed out that songs can be seen as poetry with musical accompaniment while poetry is the opposite.  The person said that isn’t always true because not all songs rhyme, … Continue reading →

Maturity vs Immaturity

Posted on September 25, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Know the above quote for a fact, but we’re going to stick to fiction.  ‘Maturity vs Immaturity’ is the tried and true ‘Coming of Age’ story.  What can we really say about that theme? First of all, this is a … Continue reading →

Accomplishment vs Failure

Posted on September 23, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

I never thought much about ‘Accomplishment vs Failure’ stories.  One could argue that every story touches on this.  The protagonist needs to succeed in whatever they are attempting in regards to the main plot.  If they don’t accomplish their goals … Continue reading →

Love Vs Hate Stories

Posted on September 20, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz
