My poet friend Charles Luden will be on Pat’s show. Charles’ poetry is a regular on my blog. It should be an interesting interview. Chuck has lived most of his life in Sioux Falls and has a great historical background of the city. Chuck was a drummer in several bands since the 70’s and has published several poetry books.
Imaginary Diary Entry Thursday Â
Some of the old guys here are younger than me.
My shirt is unbuttoned.
I’m hot or nervous.
It’s not the weather.
It’s not you either.
Who are you?
I’m ordering another cup of coffee.
It’ll make my arms feel better.

POEM FROM NOTEBOOK 97
Had a dream about petunias
then they were cactus blossoms
Finally awoke after three days
inside the imaginary whale
Walked around a city block
greeting each hooded politician
