Robert Edgar Burns Poems

Pick yourself up and be a man
You are a soldier, you know you can! .
Forget the pain and grit your teeth.
Life isn’t meant to be lived with ease!
...

I went to take your picture.
You closed your eyes and grinned.
You mouthed the words “I love you dear, ”
To this man, So glad I’m him.
...

RoseMarie and Rosella,
Asked for pictures of my face.
Buzzards fly when I am near them
With one wing covering their whole face.
...

My art form chosen is the 'Trebor.'

It comes from ancient days.
Being invented by my ancestors,

Truthfully I made it up today.
...

The best mechanics in the world had taken an interest in me.
To be precise it truly was their interest in my time machine.
After months of fiddling around a statement was made to me.
'Now you can set time pretty close to go where you'd like to be.'
...

I billed myself as the answer man
And stood on a college stage.
I told them I had no answers,
That's why professors there get paid.
...

Matthew 28: 18-20
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you."
...

How many storms in the desert
Can be found in the words that we write?
When others are lost and feeling lonely,
Have we sent them our songs in the night?
...

Not since Lennon and McCartney
Has there been a writer with such pazazz.
In fact we'd go so far as to say,
He's the best that the world now has.
...

She likes to tell of butterflies
And sunshine in the spring.
With art of little boys and girls
And the blessings that they bring.
...
