Posted on May 26, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Avaritia

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: 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 →
