Shade Tree Sam

Beneath this tree, where shade is good I park my car and pop the hood Spark plugs fouled--she won’t run right I’ll scrape ‘em clean with this here knife Got one good tire with lots of tread The rest are may-pops, nearly dead The tail...

Chemo Dreams and the Axe Within

Poetry

May 3, 2026

In the cancer year I bled like a thief, postmortem without a corpse The night she lost her hair tears of piers across the valleys crying for the days which will be no more, one bridge way too far When one was hurting silently the other one knew loudly; the afternoon deputy cancer-bastard pulled the shotgun...

  “When one was hurting silently
  the other one knew loudly; ” – This is actually very clever and damn accurate. Props for that bit of genius.
  The write itself is brutally honest and centered once for heart and once for the head. This is why I search your writes out, for the skill. Awesome write, Rob.

The Silence of Words

April 30th, last day of
Poetry Month, arrives
with showers, grey skies,
and sadness. Fitting I
suppose referring to
the old saying, ‘April showers,
May flowers’, those Springtime
colors designed to bring joy,
happiness, and the feeling of
self-worth, of being whole
and seen, alive in wonder.
Instead, this day…Read More

  I’ve found that more often than not, people translate words through whatever filter they’re currently struggling with. It may not have anything to do with us even. But our words have impact, not always how we meant them, and their responses have an equal impact. Words are powerful and because of that, can be dangerous. Even if unintended. I feel this one

    Hi Willow, I really appreciate your comment on this poem. I think your are right about the ‘filter’ of how words land with someone. It’s hard at times, even in real, face to face conversation, but here or on any social media website, it’s even harder. And yes, words are powerful and dangerous. It’s one reason I think, that we write poetry. Thank…Read More

Love Sonnet LXXXVI

For some reason April 29th
hung in the air like a full
moon, its beams finding you
through the open window, and

tickled your skin as you
slept. I watched you
breathing, breasts rising and
falling as the moon beams

frolicked their enthusiasm,
causing you to awaken slightly,
roll on your side,

And settle…Read More
