Some are gently blowing
While others on the tree
Pose for the spectators
Who stop long enough to see
A pageant drenched in color
Competition to be sure
This is a time for brightness
And not being demure
There is no prize for winning
Just the moments they create
It’s just about the timing
And there is no being late
The reddest red is waiting
Somewhere just out of sight
Getting ready for its performance
With colors oh so bright
About the Poem The Reddest Red
The poem The Reddest Red is about fall in New England, or those special moments in our lives, or both – your choice. Both are out there waiting for us. You don’t always find them, but you don’t find them if you don’t go looking for them. Or at least be out there to take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself. Try not to have too many expectations, but be open to what the universe may have out there waiting for you. It may not always be what you were expecting, but take time to enjoy them for what they are. You may have been looking for an orange, but the gift the universe has for you is a an apple. It’s easy to be disappointed that you didn’t get what you want. But what if you were just grateful for the gift that you were given?
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.
