Bag of firecrackers. Rossiter's poems look harmless until you light their fuses and read them. Well-crafted, fun little stories with explosive images.... poems that are easy to understand, appreciate, and delivered with wallop.
Charlie Rossiter's poems are hard not to like. They are direct, fresh, and real. They connect because they are "the song inside you that talks about where you’ve been and how you feel."
This makes them valuable. Moreover, like the best things in life, they are free! Download Poems People Like and enjoy.
