Charlie Parant Poems

another tree with the bark ripped off
a mound of flowers, a wooden cross
a soccer ball, a teddy bear
the burnt remains of a safety flare
...

my new girlfriend is the best one yet
downloaded off the internet
oh, she’s as pretty as can be
she’s been altered digitally
...

Gliding poetically
through time
and space
with movement
...

The earth turns the potter.
The potter turns the earth.
The earth being
the medium by
...

We walk along the deserted beach every morning,
I walk, you are being carried
in a front pack because you’re only ten weeks old.
The constant side-to-side swaying motion
...

hidden deep in the forest
past damp, dark green ferns
a seat poses as a moss covered log
I sit
...

we should be glad God’s on our side
with every step, with every stride
as we go marching off to war
like all the times we’ve gone before
...

we both look out across the sea
our time together was the best
I think of you, you think of me
but I look east and you look west
...

change the color of your hair
change the style of clothes you wear
get yourself a new tattoo
there are so many things you can do
...

all the wonders that the daylight conceals
come out of hiding when the night sky reveals
moons, planets, floating debris
there’s all kinds of interesting things to see
...
