These are our favorite stories
The sword pulled from the stone
Or a girl of many cultures
Making them her own

We want the unique stores
Where goodness does prevail
And evil is extinguished
In an epic final fail

Sometimes it’s more subtle
Like a tired woman on a bus
The simple act of saying no
That affected all of us

It’s not something you can plan for
Or even try to create
It takes seizing the moment
To make the moment great

About the Poem Unlikely Journeys

The poem Unlikely Journeys is about how greatness tends to find us when we aren’t looking for it. The issue becomes recognizing and seizing the moment. You can’t will or wish these moments into existence. These are opportunities that present themself for those in the right place at the right time. But at the same time it’s not luck. Recognize opportunities when they are presented to you. It may not always be an obvious reward. There may be significant challenges ahead. But that’s where the journey begins.

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.
