Charlene James-Duguid’s most recent poems to appear here were three poems published in August 2017.
No drama in life
Unless you eat endlessly
Acid persimmons.
Walking Wounded tramp
Through life’s forest Yeti-like
Thrilled they have survived.
When fragile larkspur
Bloom, they like where they’re planted.
Do the same for friends.
Fix what you can fix.
Weave with joy a spider’s web.
Call it Private Fate.
Pretend yours is an
Antic Spirit overfilled,
Breaking all records.
When horror strikes you
In your bad dreams, try this trick.
Escape! Walk backward.
I like these poems lots
Graceful and calming are they
Read, think and enjoy.
