Greetings Loyal Listeners and thank you, Nire, for reading my poetic tribute to John Carpenter's The Fog, 1980: Maritime Crimes (Forsaking Blake was their Mistake) Your voice is better than mine, having you read these words proved a fortuitous sign. -Falsetto Prophet

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts,Welcome Brother Art! “The fatal misconception behind brainstorming is that there is a particular script we should all follow in group interactions...The most creative spaces are those which hurl us together. It is the human friction that makes the sparks.”--Jonah Lehrer"Here is to dressing to impress and committing to the capital A art form, to deviating from the predictable norm, to writing satisfying words that cold spells warm, weathering the writer's block storm, for there is, indeed, any port in a brainstorm and not just dropping your words in a linear flow, but attacking all of the audience's senses with a lyrical swarm!" Cheers brother Art!Remember: "It is only in the vast, black dark you just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to the bleak, the dim, the stark." Faux Poe OUT!(Procrastinated Statement) *Intro/outro song, Time to Spare, courtesy of the artist, An JoneF.C.F.U. (Fact-Check Follow Up)Coco Chanel advised, "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory." This is about over-accessorizing and creating a balanced, elegant look. The specific accessory that needs to be removed would depend on the individual's outfit and the overall style they are going for.The term "Imposter Phenomenon," now commonly known as "Imposter Syndrome," was first coined by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes in 1978 describing an internal experience of doubting one's abilities, even when there is external evidence of success. 

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts, NIRE (Erin spelled backwards, Rhymes with Fire)Welcome out of the frying pan and into the Nire!I am Faux Poe, your igniter host, you are my writer ghosts, welcome, wired, inspired, miles from retired writers to: Lecture 19: Faux Poet: When you Write in a Manner Concise, You Don't Have to, On Your Reader's Attention Span, Roll the Dice--How to Write Tight, Show not Tell, and Speak Well at each Open Mic Night (Gracious Guest Lecture with Nire)."Here is to speaking just loud enough to make an impression, asking good, but not impossible to answer, questions, to enlivening stale poems, and, familiar tired beats, finding a way to freshen; remaining true in our writing, alleviating aggression, mostly for our personal, but sometimes profession, picking just the right word at our discretion, in rapid free verse succession, and letting our poems serve as astructured confession!" Cheers my fellow poet Nire.“The shorter and the plainer the better.” — Beatrix PotterRemember: "It is only in the vast, black dark you just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to thebleak, the dim, the stark."

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?”― Emily Dickinson

Greetings Faux Poets!I am Faux Poe, your igniter host, you are my writer ghosts, welcome, wired, inspired, miles from retired writers to: Lecture 18: Faux Poet: Internal Infighting, External Righting: If Your Words can Make Them Feel, Write not to Harm, but Them Disarm--so They can Heal--How to Scrawl to Share Your Life and Save Theirs.When you write poetry, you may feel a slave to the emotional overseer, you may feel but a slight schooner in a malevolent maelstrom, just a passenger in worldly transport, but you are always the master, the captain, the driver. You are in control of what you write, how you write and how much time you spend perfecting that piece, mastering your message and conveying the crux of your telling, thorough takeaway. You are perennially offered the option to delve so deeply into your own mind, thoughts and the written reflections of the same that you doubt your ability to surface or become so demoralized that you question the value of the very thing you have pledged to perform: placing your pen to page or finger tips to type. Use your ledger of life experiences to educate, to entertain to floor and awaken, but do not harm yourself, or your reader in the process. Remember: "It is only in the vast, black dark you just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to the bleak, the dim, the stark." Faux Poe OUT!(Procrastinated Statement)*Intro/outro song, Time to Spare, courtesy of the artist, An JoneFact Check Follow Up: Adverbs often fail to evoke strong emotional responses because they tend to "tell" rather than "show" how something happened. They modify verbs and adjectives, providing details about the manner or degree of an action or description, but without specific sensory details, readers may not fully connect with the emotion being conveyed. 

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts, Here is the coveted mind behind the poem: "Being made new, not in your image", but here on this podcast, a friendship begins anew and this microphone talent matchup is the world fucking series, not some middle of the week scrimmage. Anyone can fucking die, but so too can they lie, their own freedom, silence, another's loyalty buy, and, whenthey face themselves at the end of the day, after the fray, perhaps they will sneak a peek at their own tears as they cry, which beckons new inspiration of the poetic and written persuasion. Such emotional poetry proves impactful forthe audience at freshly brewed, for Ghostwriter Snyder and for me.Here is a man with a future in public speaking and a focused attention span, who can read a prepared poem or shift to something unexpected when things don't go according to plan, who is well educated but keeps safe his own thoughts, who writes with precision, speaks with authority, commands the microphone and, thanks to Chemohawk Sessions today, is not having to read his work privately and silently and who definitely does not have to bask in the glow of brilliantly blinding poetry alone. It is an honor and a pleasure to be in the company of a college graduate, a bartender turned corporate shark and a writer who speaks crystal clearly so as to never be misunderstood and writes about topics so provocative, he is a reader's passion igniter!I am Faux Poe, your igniter host, you are my writer ghosts, welcome, wired, inspired, miles from retired writers to: Lecture 17: Faux Poet: Reading Aloud what you Write, Lending Fresh Insight--Putting Currency of your PoetryWhere your Mouth is, Properly Flowing to not Tell, but Show, Not Speak Too Soft, Nor Too Slow (Gracious Guest Lecture with Ghostwriter Snyder).Remember: "It is only in the vast, black dark you just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to the bleak, the dim, the stark."

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts, If you can, aloud, read it, the listeners need it!Why stop at one when an unknown, unnamed not fullyrealized trilogy you've just begun.

Here is an Irish dude with a winning can do attitude, who attends open mic's with kindness, miles from rude, who swiftly downs a Jameson shot before delivering his poignant words of life, love, loss and all of the imponderables in-between, I have heard of a red faced Irish temper, but this Irishman seems to prefer benevolence and generous acts tobeing mean. He is the guy who has many candles burning and many wheels turning at any given time, but still, in the midst of his litany of activities, he still finds the time to be present, be animated and somehow, finds the time to rhyme. It is an honor and a pleasure my good man, fellow Irishman and, though you hail from the northeast and I from the lone star state, fellow countryman! Welcome Brother Jameson!

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts, For those of you who doubt your ability to write, your own artistic kindling you must ignite, fuel the fight to write tight and the reader's emotion…incite. I find that writing is far more idiosyncratic than automatic. "Here's to speaking articulately, keeping a sense of humor infinitely and braving both the deep, dark forest and the cursed, unlovely woods vigilantly." Here is a lady who is sharp and kind, here is a gal who often drives in silence to decompress and unwind, who knows how to fight, how to properly construct a humorous email and write, who loves history, wields a curiosity and walks miles around the toxic forest while the rest of us lameos are safely walking within the limits of the city. I appreciate that she is helpful at board games, that she holds the concept of loyalty in high regard and that she laughs almost as much as she speaks and she harbors a real love for life!

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts, For those of you who doubt your ability to write, your own artistic kindling you must ignite, fight to write tight and the reader's emotion…incite. But are your words meant to be read, reread or simply read privately and quietly instead? Have you written all you can write, all you can do, or is there more? a clause, line or word inside you, perhaps a tad more to do? If you want to use the right word for the right occasion, some clever wordplay creation that even the most accomplished reader or devote fan is unable to see through, for you are showing them what's true and they'll have no choice but to believe you.
