Just a bit to get them going
And then it does emerge
A hint of some excitement
And then the flames do surge
A little bit of patience
Tempered with both grace and skill
A reward for all your efforts
And a reflection of your will
Watch it grow in stature
Stand up and take a bow
It’s not that you are finished
But because you now know how
A little bit of effort
Is all that it does take
Fanning the flames
Of everything you make
About The Poem Fanning the Flames
Fanning the Flames is an inspirational poem about giving your ideas the encouragement they need to grow. One of the interesting things about fire is that you actually don’t create it. You create the conditions for it to come forth. Sort of like ideas, art and music. It is about creating the conditions for magic to happen. In the case of fire it is technically a chemical reaction, but what about ideas? Create space, let yourself be quite, and let the ideas come to you. Empty your cup so you can fill it again.
Inspirational Poetry Books
Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products
While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
