Bio
I am a 30 year cattle farmer. I have 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy) who range in age from 7 years down to 2 months. I am married, been with the same woman now for 10 years. I have worked as a cook, salesman, tailor, engineer's assistant, and also a bomb maker . I have been writing my entire life (really I mean that like all of it even way down into 'em baby years) and still, feh, not so good. I wish there was more to say about me but no such luck. Oh, yes you can all just call me, Jesse. I have seen the trouble people have when replying to me and they find that they must use that awkward JMitch79 business...so my name is Jesse and you may call me by it.

Acrylic and All

 

I feel a little bit better

As the weather warms and the sun heats

what happens to be left

Of me

Little ancient bits of bone and all the tired

Flesh and cool skin

Pulled over me in heap.

Most everyone I know is most likely

Still fast asleep,

We are only looking deep inside of

Something I made up anyway.

What is there to harm

To fantasy

To little scrabbles of letter I put together

Just to charm you anyway

That is all anyway.

The radio plays much too loudly

And the reception is far from good

All it can be either of us

Is noise,

Drowning, stifling noice,

The dream was my responisiblity

To begin with,

So all this history

Is a mess of

Colors and waves

And cardboard cut out things

Just to charm you anyway.

You are a charmer Jesse, with everything you write. This poem proves it.
It is amazing how your mood reflects in your writing. R
This is a different form too from your others, Jesse. And charm with it you did. ~R~
Wow, why am I reminded of those creepy funhouses at county fairs, the ones with the weird mirrors and stuff? Illusions run deep.

-R-
much better than mine.
Jesse-I must not stay away so long. I've missed you. This is good, and this, "We are only looking deep inside of

Something I made up anyway." is life

Letters from scrabble bits to charm her anyway...this I love and connect with on a very warm level. You are a romantic of the highest order.
