Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Figurant half-hidden fades below
the plodding hoofs of half forgotten years,
from chariot to dray spanned, disappears.
Hansom, carriage, coach and four seem slow
...

Most couples, from their future, with dismay
Attempt to hide as years add tears to doubt,
Reminding one that life seems roundabout
Gone haywire, with its genius astray.
...

True offspring of pure poet's pen
As unclaimed orphans wait till when
Line's links are stimulated, trace
Each ph[r]ase in roundelay's embrace.

The New Year’s Greetings, over from Japan,
As regular as time itself arrive,
Make music in the mind, which comes alive
In harmonies none other knows, nor can.

These offspring of pure poet's pen
As unclaimed orphans wait till when
Love's links are stimulated, trace
Empathy in each embrace.

I know I'm not but cusp, husk for full year.
Warm welcome will expand, dwarf other part,
swing brooding moods to mine shared joys sincere.
...

Bleak breeze bites betimes
sorrows seek solace [sp]reading
sweet scented ku rhymes
...

Wishful thinking will not win free world.
Imperative: independent structures here
Should be supported by a vision clear,
Held high with mission statement's flag unfurled.
...

Artists palette, paints, prepare
poets channel insight rare,
canvas filling, paper inking,
imagination's magic thinking
...

Our rebels now are ended, or retractors.
All would-be actors, as I foretold you, were spirited away,
are melted into air, into thin air.
Unlike their base fabric stand our prisons,
