Bruce Currently makes his living as a juggler, physicist, and professional mutterer. When Bruce Larkin was 11 years old, he was struck by lighting while riding his unicycle.

Bruce has never seen his family since that day. He is hoping to use his poetry to be reunited with his 23 brothers and sisters. Each of his poems contains a sophisticated code which will hopefully allow Bruce to rejoin his 23 siblings.

Dealing With Problems
They say an upset ostrich
Will stick its head in the ground.
That's no way to fix a problem.
It's not how solutions are found.
When something's not going right
And you wonder if life is fair,
Sticking your head in the ground
Will just get dirt in your hair.

I use your poems all the time in my classroom. They are great! Keep them coming.
Poetry should be fun and Bruce Larkin makes it so with his words. Thanks a lot, Bruce!
My daughter is a huge Bruce Larkin fan. She is always laughing at the silly poems you create. I have also benefited from A Giant Hopes for Visitors poem when it comes to cleaning time :) Keep them coming!
I asked you to keep posting and you were kind enough to do so. My students say you really are the world's funniest poet. Please keep posting. I could use one poem for each school day.
These poems are really funny. Don't stop writing.
