Long Charmless Poems

Lito, a boy of twelve was walking along
An old, broken street of the sun browned, 
Dusts attached, smoke emitting town
Lonely, long way he was passing
Through heat waves, bad odor, 
Horn blaring, noisy, charmless morning, 

At...

Wura woke up into a world 
so weary and worthless,
in a home that has got no

While reading Spring and All.

her sense of self from the stage
and claims to be in rebellion
against a charmless age

Floating body, pressing water, moving forward
How nice to enjoy spattering, splashing sound!
Gesturing body, flapping wing, clapping hand,

I remember once while swimming with friend
To cross the local...

The first thing that came into my mind was my soul.
Remains hidden but always in command,
But it leaves the body even if it’s...

Beneath a bearded tree I sat
Expecting on a gaze,
When interview a headless hat
Came whiffling through the haze.

For laffs he wore a slight of grin,
And luck a charmless arm.
Four feathers grew upon his chin.

You quote a man not known but known to everyone when speaking to me

I choose my words carefully when talking to you
Constructed forums for self doubt surround...
