Hey everyone!
Check out my reading of my poem, “A Dream To Give Up”. I’ve decided to be more consistent in posting on my YouTube page, and thus growing it. With each video that I post there, I will share it here with you all.
Click on the video, head on over to YouTube, check it out, and let me know what you think!!! Thank you!

HELLLLLO EVERYONE!!!!
To start off, no poetry today! (tears) (or maybe you might get a little something-something later (wink! wink!) but we’ll have to see!!! Nonetheless, I wanted to make an announcement (which I have no clue why I did not make it earlier). As the title reads, I do a live poetry reading EVERY WEDNESDAY!
“Well, Mr. Sircharlesthepoet,” you might say, “where does such live reading take place?”
If you’ve been keeping up with my posts, then you might have noticed that I end each post with “Sircharlesthepoet“–a hyperlink that takes you directly to my Instagram page! That page is where I do the live readings. That Instagram page (hint-hint: check it out and even follow me, if you have an account!) is where I do the live readings. I don’t know if WordPress has a feature like so, but Instagram has a feature that allows you to do a live video. I use that feature to have a weekly poetry reading.
So every week, I find a poem and read it on Instagram live, where followers from all over the world can swing by and watch me read! Although the live reading is on Wednesday, the time of it during that day often changes, due to the nature of my job and way of life. Nonetheless, I try to do the readings in the afternoon (when everyone is home from work/school). Additionally, on the day before or as the day progresses, I post updates on my Instagram story of when the live reading will happen. To summarize, if any of you have an Instagram page, FOLLOW ME! I post poetry on there and I am very active on there as well. And as a bonus to following me, you will be able to join me in my weekly live readings!
Thank you all very much for all of the support that I have been getting so far! And I hope to see you in next week’s live poetry reading!

Throughout my 4 years in college, I was a part of a 4-year program called UBS-Next Gen Leaders. The program was created from the partnership of UBS (United Bank of Switzerland) and a nonprofit called SEO (Sponsors for Educational Opportunity). As a part of the program, I received personal assistance from college mentors and career advisers, I participated in workshops for college readiness and success, and workshops to help build my professional network. and get jobs and internships. Basically, everything you may need to not only get through college sanely, but also get through it successfully, and be in good hands after graduating.
Last month, I graduated from that program. As a part of the graduation celebration that we had, I was approached and asked to write a poem to basically summarize my experience in the program.
That is where the poem, “City Full of Dreams”, came from. I was able to get a video of me reading the poem at the event, and I’ve uploaded it to my YouTube channel. The link to the video is above this body of text, and below it. Thank you for watching, and please pay special attention to my fly outfit and my amazingly holed shoes. Enjoy!
