Welcome to the challenge
Of dancing on a pin
A foolish task for certain
That no one is to win
The task itself is pointless
There is no gain at hand
Falling is but certain
But where is it you’ll land
The world may stare and wonder
The drama on the stage
May start as merely wonder
And then turn into rage
The posturing is over
The dogs of war unleash
The dreams are all but ending
As life for some must cease
About the Poem Fire
The poem Fire is about the complexities and dangers of wars. We think of wars in terms of victories and defeats, but most wars are simply institutionalized hate. Over time the real reasons for the war are often lost in the fact that each side has hated the other for so long, it’s all they know.
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.
