Posted on December 29, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Cycle of Egos

Posted on December 15, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(Not the biggest fan of the title now, but that’s what I picked.  It’s really about abuse.  A person who batters at another’s sense of self-worth and will stop long enough for them to recover.  I’ve dealt with too many … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Cursed Soul

Posted on December 8, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Cry for Some Attention

Posted on November 10, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(This poem deals with how the Internet works.  I wrote it when I noticed posting anything positive or a simple update got very little attention.  Once I ranted, I got a flood of comments by people either trying to cheer … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Berserker Am I

Posted on June 16, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Beauties and Beasts

Posted on June 2, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(Think I was trying to write about the Windemere orcs here.  This one is definitely a big mystery.) Opposites in nature Attracted to their cores The genders Like night and day Differences dueling In an endless dance Where one is … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Atrophied Imagination

Posted on May 5, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(Ouch.  This one hits pretty hard on the nose.  Apparently, I wrote this in 2011.) Do you remember your power? The childhood ability To dream of the impossible And bring it to life Friends with no substance Explanations beyond science … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Ash Man

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(Better believe this is about more than a man made of ashes.  Pretty obvious too.) 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 … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Around and Round the Medicine Bush

Posted on April 21, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(This was heavily inspired by one of my favorite books growing up.  Dr. Seuss’s ‘You’re Only Old Once’ had a part called the Pill Drill.  I loved it as a kid even though I didn’t know what it meant.  It … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Apprentices

Posted on April 7, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(This poem is self-explanatory.  Apprentices are used a lot in fantasy stories.  I don’t know exactly what prompted the poem, but here we are.) Chosen by their thirteenth year To follow in a master’s steps They wave farewell to youth … Continue reading →
