Jonathan ROBIN Poems

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

My verse cannot completely trace
a fair reflection who's soft light
underscores such endless grace.
Dream words, found wanting, seek insight.
...

Flamingo flames flare
flair fitfully fashions fey
fanfare fireworks fair
...

Wishing wonders wander-Swannee signs
As author artist always aired a-musing
Never nasty. Nature nourishing
Dreams dainty, diction dense, distinct, designs
...

Life's cycle spins
as out and ins
around each other turn
so treat with Time
...
