I’ve been working feverishly to bring you video blogs from some awesome poetry events at Deep Cleveland and Joe Sundae’s – but issues with my big computer have ground progress to a halt. I seem to be getting the issues fixed. But after today, I won’t have time to work on video until Monday. Frustrating….
I apologize to the folks who’ve been waiting patiently.
Fortunately, though, I’ve still been able to use my laptop all day (which does not have the software or memory for video), so I’ve been able to accomplish quite a few other things. One is adding to my online library.
Last night I added The Flea by John Donne (to whom my high school creative writing teacher generously compared me in the early 1980s) and Prayer by Hilda Doolittle (who I chose as one of my “Favorite Poets from A to Z” in D Is for Doolittle).
Today I added a previously unpublished “epic” poem contributed by Deep Cleveland Poetry Hour founder Mark S. Kuhar (perhaps better known as markk). I’m elated to be able to feature Mark’s piece (get your minds out of the gutter!) in the library. And it’s a fine piece of work.

I’m also excited to announce that I’ve received many excellent submissions for the library, from both the so-called known and the so-called unknown. I haven’t had a chance to respond personally to everybody yet, but wow!… Upcoming contributors I’m particularly thrilled about having onboard include ArtCriminal Steven Smith and Macho Sex author Cheryl Townsend. But let me shut up before I spoil any surprises. Keep an eye out at http://library.crisischronicles.com. Barring an act of God, I plan to post something new there every day. Videos will have to wait until Monday, however….
Here’s a photo Dianne Borsenik took of me and my video camera during this month’s reading at Joe Sundae’s in Sandusky:
Might help if I removed my finger from in front of the lens 
Life is a woodpeckerIt pecks at my sanityLike it’s a tree
The man is such a lightning rod for controversy… LOL..How wonderful…. 🙂 May we all be so blessed…
Good luck today on your reading at the Phoenix. I suppose you will be accompanied by your favorite selectivefriend and butt smoocher. LOL
I think people better watch what they are saying in comments. I find usually that “thank you, yes, I love it,” etc are good comments. But one must be a bit discriminating with words, even in poetry.Remember sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never harm me. Silence is golden.Also who cares about others opinions?One can have everything one wants while sitting on one’s butt. That way nobody can try to kiss it. Just leave your butt out of other’s faces. LMAO
yr an old coot & attractive to boot you get my motor thrumming
i suspect i’ve had unpleasantness with this terese before. i was attacked and vilified by someone with the same name and writing style for something i had nothing to do with. but i’ll leave the story of that nastiness for another time.
Well JC’s featured reading was a smash. And there were several butt smoochers there and we all had a great time of it… which JC can share when he blogs about it in the future.
Oh… and I would like to catagorize it as support for a friend and someone trying to make his way in the world not butt smooching… but if that’s what that is called now a days…guilty as charged.
OMG were there other butt smoochers at the Phoenix also besides Chris? I hope you don’t have lipstick prints all over your butt after reading your poetry. Waiting to see some of the blogs you promised and the poetry you read. Also I want one of your Bloggerel signed by you. Pretty please!!
You’ve got it coming.Somehow this image seems like a good “final word” for this discussion:
NOW I AM REALLY LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!!THIS IS HILARIOUS!! SEE YA SOON I HOPE..
This leaves me with no IFS, BUTTS, ANDS or ORS..
After seeing the other posting of Dr. Suess I could resist… sorry… 🙂
I love it!
