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!!!!!

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.

oh go on post 50000 poems and 10000 line titles it sure would liven up the soup bowl even more - probably to boiling point and the servers would go into melt down (again )
