eschew the beaten path

–that’s a given–
 
 
pavement is for pedestrians!

People in

penny loafers,

pretending at progress, & perusing their pose in patina;

puh-leaze.

‘wouldn’t want to be in their

–a’shoes. a’shoes, a’shoes–

God bless me very much, or at least 3x over.

Favor the shoulder instead

(despite its frigidity, it’s an intermittent necessity)

It hosts the

ball.

besides

It cradles the

soul.

reliably.

and hey. If none of that floats your boaters,

bare foot.

(yes, bare it)

walk on coals, and

blaze a trail of your own.

Context is Everything

May 5, 2015 by Charron's Chatter Comments Off on Context is Everything

 

I’m all mixed up

jumble

–drawin’ a blank

scrabble

–cant seem to find the right way to say

word find

opposing views don’t always need such vehement expression

cross words

such expression can go over the top

hangman

be misconstrued

bee miss Spelled

turn 15 minutes into

black magic squares

render sentiments into

re’sentiments

aka

Ghosts.

if U like Piña coladas…

May 2, 2015 by Charron's Chatter Comments Off on if U like Piña coladas…

Tell me all your troubles...

If you order a double,

can it be single malt?

 

If you have one for the road,

Should it be Jack?

 

If you spill your ice-less drink

is it still neat?

 

If you’re a mean drunk,

is it ever Happy Hour?

 

If you stop in for a quick one after work,

can it be Sloe Gin?

 

If you die ordering a drink,

is that Last Call

…or Final Words…

 

Do dyslexic drunk drivers get IUDs

instead of DUIs?

the Skinny

April 30, 2015 by Charron's Chatter Comments Off on the Skinny

an animal advocate

she gave up Carne

it was fair

and

became a

vegetarian…

 

a bleedin’ heart

and green thumb

she gave up Greens

and

became

a

planetarium…

 

a Nature lover

indeed

and globally aware,

the consequence

was

no

atrium.

Buy Karen

April 28, 2015 by Charron's Chatter Comments Off on Buy Karen

Hello, kidrows…rows of kids…blogg-ettes & blogg-ers…punchers of keys, clocks, and drinX…

Just a note to encourage one and all to swing by Meat for Tea–A Valley Review, wherein a recent publication of mine is–ahh–publicated. Yes, in PDF, print, and pretty colors, my essay:

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door is available for purchase and bird cage liner right at this very moment!

…

…

What? You still here?  G’wan then…have a click over and check out this awesomely named journal with discerning taste–I mean–they use meat for tea, don’t they?

(they do)

All jestin’ aside. Your support is much appreciated, as writing levees an unseen toll on a writer that goes far beyond the cost of ink cartridges.

(The number#2 pencils, alone!)

Print

click to surf over.

 
And here’s the link to latest publication: PMS Diatribe, featured in Blue Crow Journal, issue # 4. A short story with a humorous bent, it keeps company with several other fine artists’ works. I appreciate anyone who buys it. M-W-A-H.
