Chuck
began writing poetry in the third grade and has never stopped. His poetry
is light, written in simple form and is enjoyed by readers of all ages. His
first book, "POEMS FOR POEM HATERS" was copyrighted in 1993 but was unpublished
until December, 1996. He chose this title because many people who are not
avid poetry lovers seem to identify with and enjoy his works. Most of his
writings contain various topics based on the pressures and pleasures of daily
living to which people of all walks of life can relate. On this home page
is a generous sampling of "POEMS FOR POEM HATERS." Chuck was born at Winona,
Ms. on July 26, 1933. He grew up in Jackson, Ms. and lived there until
he joined the Air Force after graduating from high school in 1951. He
was married in 1955 at Waco, Texas to Sue Voigt. They along with
their three children moved to Oklahoma City, OK in 1969 and all have become
proud Okies.
I hail from Oklahoma and I write only poems that
rhyme,
If I wrote free verse, it wouldn't be worth my time.
Though rhyme is more difficult, I do it all the same,
For rhyme you see, may just well be, my only claim to fame.
These poems I freely share with you, I hope they
bring a smile,
Or conjure up some memories, or stir emotions for a while,
You may copy, print or share them, sing them or recite,
But if there's profit to be made, remember that's my right
