CK Barrett

CK Barrett is a giant among pigmies and a woman among men. She was born and bred in Saint Louis, Missouri. After 18 years she felt it was her duty to see more of the world. So CK traveled to the wilds of Tulsa, Oklahoma for a degree in Theatre Studies. After learning to spell Oklahoma thanks to the tireless efforts of Rodgers and Hammerstein, she moved back to Saint Louis to be with her people, at the everydaycircus. Eventually it was noted that CK would never be a great juggler, so she ran away from the circus to Chicago, Illinois where she has stayed for the past six years. Although when the wind moves her soul she must physically move with it, because it seems to be attached to her body. Where she will go, she does not know but she is excited for the journey.

THANK YOU

Pre face ;)

Dear Diary,

I guess, I’m aloud just one day

For mourning my mistakes

that’s a sign

I feel means

Really I’m fine

It’s neither here nor there but do I care

Yes

I guess

I do but this

me, finding rhyming succession

Is it, so much for a confession

a lesson.

So my spirit’s been lifted and gifted

But this writing is pretty lame

Except for form and frame

But I’m glad it out came

I talked it out last night to relieve fright

Whether it’s too much work and no play

I don’t know but I am not left dull

No matter what rolls in

the old noggin

It’s just that I tend a lot to mull

Now I try to say

most

everything I am thinking

There was a time I said nothing at all

I had built a China wall

But all that

Now starting to fall

It’s time,

I guess I can’t do this all day

Although I sure would like to

Soliloquize

A sonata in words

Nothing fancy will do

Maybe no more than an inch or two

But I’ve always been short

And rambling so to all of you

Just thanks for the support

In the ideas I court

Just one P.S. before I go onto mundane,

Things sometimes become quite clear

To realize

And it’s just me with the fear

That I’ve come so near

But won’t be able

to finish

my startings.

So

I’ll step away from the brink

And find my own sync

Always a link,

Pavee
