Snow Night with Bird

Snow Night with BirdVeering near, a moonless night cheers by putting on fur so white it is blue, then sprinkling it with glitter fine as fairie dust run through a sifter. Not content, it chalks an egret -- think it's an egret -- below a lapel, making its eyes round as those of the moon hiding somewhere,…See More

NRA Just Wants to Help

Too much violence? Not to worry. The NRA has the perfect solution. Throw more guns into the mix! See, if you arm a bunch of guards with the right weapons, the good guys will shoot the bad guys. Be all she wrote! How many guards will it take? Have to think about that. How much will it cost to train and arm them? Get back to you on that. One thing sure, guards have to carry assault weapons. Pocket pistols would be as effective as feathers. That is horse-and-buggy thinking. Expensive? Of…See More

The Watcher

The Watcher



An apparition rises a lump at a time, like dough

struggling to overcome the careless measurements

of a baker who has been guzzling the beer intended

for beer bread.  Fudged on the yeast, or let it go bad.



Rising, the apparition takes on the general shape

of a human.   Height --even stooped-- and the amount

of grizzle, say it is a man.  The coat that’s wearing

him looks like it was custom-made for a Wall Street

pirate, arms…

Bullying has no Place in a Democracy









Brute. Beast. Devil. Savage. Sadist.



Monster.



“Bully” strong enough? I don’t think so. To me, the term harkens back to a time of 3-ring notebooks with cheap cardboard covers, letters that required envelopes and stamps and clunky telephones with exasperating cords and tortoise-slow dials. Many people were under the impression that bullies and their victims were virtually always males, and attacks pretty much… Continue

You wear the CTI Spotlight very well Phyllis Jean Green. I've been a reader of your work for years of course, and that means there's little I can add to what I've said already in different forms. What I will do, however, is share here one of my previous reviews for one your poems--it exemplifies the kind of experience I've generally had when enjoying your work. In this case, the review is of the poem"Waiting Out Fog."

 

"Always hope" indeed. You begin with gray flickers of awareness and fan them into brilliant flames of committed consciousness. The work of the literary artist--such as that which you are--stands apart from those who govern hierarchies for the sake of amassing power or wealth or simply to serve individual egos. Each line of WAITING OUT FOG blesses the reader with beauty in the midst of horror and love for humanity in the face of deadly indifference. Much gratitude for the wonderful holiday read...

I saw the reviews for SPINNING STRAW on Amazon so am hoping for a chance to check it out. Funny how becoming a writer tends to cut down on time for pleasure reading but I try to squeeze some out anyway.

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES





1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
