Edwin Robinette Poems

Dear Prudence,
Don't bother me.
I should have known better with a girl like you.
Hello, goodbye, day tripper!
...

A remarkable feat of tranquility, death is

Unpretentious, reliably complete
...

Cranial vessel, engulf us, delight us

Embark us on an extensive voyage
toward dreams never thought of
...

What did the elected one say
I heard, yet, I don't believe it
He said nothing at all
The people sigh
...

Paranoia stifles my soul

I vision its form without
Yet, sense it from within
...

Cumberland, Cumberland
Where have you gone my friend
For progress, you were rearranged
How I wish that you could mend
...

Today, as a contrast of my usual self,
I assisted no one,
nor did I discuss cause and effect
...

I may grill you to the 'n'th degree
Out of habit, nothing more
I may not clearly understand
Yet, I will try, of that I'm sure
...

The sign hung loosely around his neck,
draping him with a cardboard tunic
that read......'The End Is Near'
...

Suture my sorrowful eyes

Viewing a world of bitterness,
hate and hostility,
...
