Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Welcome stranger, settle bed and board,
Rest sore, weary head while dreamless sleep
both body, mind repairs. Let slumber deep
wash worries well away, your precious hoard
...

How true I parody? Let me discount p[l]ays.
I parody in depth, taste copy paste insight,
my mind stretch sketches through your writing quite
APing Ways and Means, through rhyme’s mainstays.
...

Through the artificial flowers
let me slide when all my powers
...

Under a spreading chestnut tree
...

A heart to cherish and warm hand to hold
High raise mere mortal clay from common mould,
Elevates base elements to gold
As magic fusion cuts confusion's hold.
...

I kissed Rose right back
like that, without sorrow,
and a pat on the back
...

Some sonnets upon sonnets poets write
Offering examples of their skill,
Need neither censure nor false praise to fill
New chapter, verse, in ego's copyright.
...

Rain, rain, rain
...

When we consider all our freedoms lost
with HA! BE U.S.! Corpus of bush law,
black death to hide the whitewash when p’lice score
’gainst innocence ‘wrong place, wrong time’ star-crossed,
...

Marlowe’s swain bestows caresses
And promises on shepherdesses.
Clasps of amber, young lambs’ fleeces,
gay gloss of gold, once told, impresses.
...
