Charles Dennis Poetry © All rights reserved

Charles Dennis was born 1953 and grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, moved to southwest Florida in 1973 and stayed until another move took him to Chicago, Illinois in 1979 where he married and lived until 2005. Charles Dennis has always had a passion for writing but never shared his passion until 1979 when he made the move to the Chicago area and turned his focus more toward his writing and now shares his quirky and sometimes harsh look on love and life with people world wide. We hope you enjoy this witty look on the things we all experience in everyday life, as well as his sometimes provocative and sensual poetry.

Wind blows through the leaves as I stand listening to the heart beat of the evening. While Whippoorwills tell their story to the

trees, the incandescent light of the moon slowly rises, as I watch through the grasses that cumber the shoreline, swaying

back and forth to the gentle breezes that blow to reveal a shimmering picture of the moon in all of its splendiferous beauty.

My life force absorbs all it hears, sees, feels and smells creating an unconditional calm. Colors of the night abound as a distant Loon

cries while a muted splash signals the drop of a turtle into the lake from a log adding to the gracefulness of the evening, as the ripples dissipate into the darkness.

I stand in awe of nature, as the motion of the branches show their dancing skills, while I gaze upon the brilliance of a graceful

dream filled moon. Goodnight gracious Whippoorwill, stay well oh lovely Loon.
