    C.L. Post

    C. L. Post is an award-winning author and has published three books: Be, The Down the Road Collection and Other Popular Poems, and Short Stuff. He believes that Poetry is a passionate art which graciously and courageously explores your most intimate thoughts and emotions. Some people never reach their full potential, whether because of doubt, circumstance or situation. People must be brave and stand tall no matter their circumstances. I write to inspire, to stimulate thoughts and because I enjoy it.

      Dedication:

      Most of the credit for organizing this book should

      be given to my friend, Mary. Mary’s husband,

      Jay, passed away recently and it is to the both of

      them that I’m dedicating this book. Without her

      help, this book would not have been possible.

      Introduction:

      There are a lot of poems in this book. I hope you

      pick and choose your favorites from the selection.

      For you stalwart readers, you may read the book

      in one sitting, but if you so desire-read awhile-

      let some soak in and continue on later. The topics

      are many, the poems are short, thus the title:

      Short Stuff|

      I hope you enjoy.

      Short Stuff

      I hope you like

      My book of poems

      May they be something

      That keep you going.

      During the production of this book I had to have a

      wisdom tooth removed. We hope the wisdom

      itself wasn’t lost!

      Each of these poems

      Is a work of art

      I hope interpreting them

      Will help to make you smart.

      My Friend Mary

      I really couldn’t do this

      Without the help of Mary

      I think that without her

      I would not get very-far.

      A Job

      Some are full of hard labor

      Others barely pay

      But in reality you realize

      It’s the job that makes the day.

      Business

      If you’re in a business

      That’s really on the edge

      It’s kind of like looking over

      The boundary of a ledge.

      Blockhead

      If into a wall

      You’re being lead

      Make sure you’re not following

      A real blockhead.

      You learn to add

      With all the rules

      There are many things

      To be learned in school.

      School

      School is an adventure

      You swim in a great big sea

      I learned and did a lot of things

      In fact it taught and developed me.
