    • Hey guys! I recently published a poetry chapbook in memory of my mammaw. It's available on amazon.com and createspace e store. It's titled If I Settle Down... by Charles Cross.

    1999

     Sideway shoes paint sidewalk by gravity and me
       Loud angel yawns create habitual dreams
      tangerine edges on my shoes
    decorate and influence life along ocean sand bodies
    decorate and rainmake like plastered clouds
    shooting
    folding
    to ripple

    Instrumental lovers on unilateral hikes
       to hold individual-like; a light cardinal charm
       between cracks of concrete I'll sneeze
       to appease, I'll believe it's grass
    dreaming for you street singer
    dreams of sound miracles
    rebelling
    rains
    to sing

    for the organ stares so primitively
                                  by gravity and me

    ahhh words of bards, muses, dreamers, in this one here. Although I know you have the realism going on in many of your poems. Your metaphors here are very inspiring. And thanks for your recent message. We older hippies (back in the day, 1970's) used to say "right on" here my message in the modern days is "write on." ginga
