A Country Rag Distilled Spirits







'Jewel,' digitized acrylic by Jeannette Harris


While Piloting Yourself

by John Charles, Kingsport TN


EJECT THAT THOUGHT

THAT'S UNFEELING, UNCARING OR LOOKING ON THE DARK SIDE

JUST RIP IT OUT, THROW IT ON THE GROUND

HOP ON IT WITH BOTH FEET JUMPING UP AND DOWN

WHO KNOWS

WHAT UGLY FUTURE YOU'VE PREVENTED,

CAT

BY NIPPING THE BUD

AND STOMPING THAT SUCKER FLAT.



John Charles is a celebrated artist in all media with a long and successful career. He's also an excellent carpenter and member of the Watauga Valley Arts League, Toastmasters and a Johnson City writers' group, although he's quite preoccupied with remodelling a house and gallery, including painting its doors very artistically, as well as working part-time. He also writes short stories and poetry, serious and humorous, and has two grown artistic children, a son and a daughter both living now in western states.
