Notes About The Poem

 

 

I have decided against the advice of my poetic advisors that I will from now on be posting 50,000 poems a day, and each poem shall have a title of 10,000 words!

Lets make poetry great Again!!!!!

Thanksgiving with Family

A small affair
only the two of us
Charlie and I
a small turkey breast
and two glasses of rye
to make the evening tales stand tall
a salute to uncle Vic, hanging on the wall
Now Charlie and I, reminisce of the past
he is the spider on the dining room chandelier
he's been my family for almost a year
he watches with intent as I surf the web
while spinning his own of mysteries

time marches on
we both know
the end is soon near
Darren left us a few months ago
a brother in arms, a brother of charm

days have become lifeless
the nights endless loops
I and Charlie wonder
is this my last salute?

Arthur, you can also come visit us if you like. Use soup mail. I love the introduction...it's so over the top like you know who. I don't know if you can make any more of a contrast between what many feel and that. The funny part is they won't get it. You do make me laugh and smile.
