Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Ask still less of money spent where the spender thinks it went,
for, despite reminders sent, it's too easy to invent
excuses not to find the rent.
...

It rains in my heart
as on town and on mart,
pours down longings that start
to reign in my heart!
...

I often have some strange and striking dreams
about an unknown girl, of love we share,
each time the same, each time a different air
about her swirls, who understands it seems.
...

Those only interested in the second part explanation on differences in female/male thoughtmodes may scroll down to the highlighted couplet below:
...

Put in's power lasts an hour,
Sad damned man's did too,
when the spell in spelling's broken -
Shah 'I ran' would rue.
...

If you can back your boss and keep on smiling,
while toning down his brash absurdities,
if, having watched the man manhandle filing,
...

From dawn till dusk,
from land to land,
without too much ado,
I'd seek the perfect ankle,
...

He meets by chance he’ll ever bless
handmaiden, and some hidden hand
unveils an inner loveliness
too few take time to understand.
...

Time spins headlong, helter-skelter, alpha omega its hum,
...

Sixteen years, now almost seventeen,
I've played at stick and ball, stayed seldom still
until good master's call would whistle shrill
to lead me back - no need to smack. Sight keen.
...

Do you remember the Ball, Cinderella, do you recall the Ball?
And the prancing, glancing, dancing
...

Merlin, magician, foresight filled,
...

Why do you bury your head underground,
risking so much and so much?
O black and white ostrich with feathers all found,
why do you bury your head in the ground
...

White rose peeps, weeps too purely,
while red shows scarlet sins,
subjectivism’s surely
a set of moral gins.
...

Tyger’s Rumour


Rumour rushing rampant right
...

Gather ye rosebuds all who will,
and yet, though Time’s a-flying,
in one fair head, eternal still,
Life thrives, Death’s grin denying.
...

Shall I compare her to a summer’s day?
A thousand times more sweet she seems to me!
Nor may Time’s winds – (which darling buds of May
Do shake) – unsettle love’s perennity.
...

I prayed myself a_trophy,
as golden as could be,
so Vivian and Sophie,
on PH poetry
...

I, dot, would score, scour ocean floor,
you too were dot, not more.
We'd LOOP the LOOP in primaeval soup
our POOL gene POOL core corps.

Requiem II

From life's dark, unwholesome cage
where love frets, siege raised in rage,

The Best Poem Of Jonathan ROBIN

The Accounting Of Hardship - Parody Robert Frost

Ask still less of money spent where the spender thinks it went,
for, despite reminders sent, it's too easy to invent
excuses not to find the rent.

Therefore before you consent to part with pound, or penny, cent,
helping friend to supplement his small yearly increment, -
before you lament, repent!

Management most competent needs some legal instrument
to avert an accident, subsequent predicament, -
argument, embarassment

If your friendships you'd cement by behaviour sapient,
avoid disillusionment by tactful expedient, -
‘tis best the question to prevent!

The Vatican has its Necropolis; Poemhunter, a World Poetry Archive. Welcome & Congratulations! Intrepid Traveler you've just found one of Poemhunter's most valued, buried, treasured, chests! So, traveler less roaded, are you a Rhodes traveler too?

A very talented poet, whose poems are always beautifully penned, not only through the choice of the words (mostly far beyond relevance) , but also through the thoughts these poems carry... and the sense of humour. Some of these pieces can be considered as masterpieces.

It is not surprising to find Jonathan Robin among the top hundred most popular poets on Poemhunter... and apparently he has also 10 poems ranked in the top 20 out of 4 million on allpoetry. Looking at his biography one is surprised that he finds time to write in such a diversity of traditional styles on so many subjects, both contemporary and classical. One is confused by the number of poems nominally on poemhunter - less than 1400 compared to more than two thousand in his poetry book apparently available for download. As written in one of the comments below 'This gent has experimented with every possible poetic medium out there and with exceptional results.' - one can only agree and applaud.

There are plenty of gems scattered through this vast poetic field. This gent has experimented with every possible poetic medium out there and with exceptional results. I have found myself skipping through the long-winded verbosities and brain-teasing acrostics, but got cought on the more personable social commentaries and those that were rooted in personal experiences. But then again, chaqun a son gout. Spin the wheel and see where chance will land you, chances are you won't be disappointed.

Jonathan ROBIN Quotes

POETRY: Openly shared articulated harmony of individual ability to channel creative soul-song AWAY from the ego

LIFE: A finite succession of infinite opportunities

NOISE: Signals static individuals are unaware they COULD decipher

Major case prose makes minor case rose

DIFFERENCES AND DEFINITIONS What is the difference beween... A sea captain and a corrupt judge? One is in charge of sailors, the other charges, sells laws. A welcome and an unwelcome guest? One stays over, the other overstays. A cross wire, and a worse crier? Telephone and phony tale. A merchant and a merchantman? One sells wares, the other wears sails. A poor singer and a harpoonist? One wails scales, the other scales whales. A gourmet and a gourmand? One eats out, the other outeats. A broker and a middleman? One deals in shares, the other shares in deals. A cheat and a forgetful person? One looks over, the other overlooks. A hunter and a coward? One fights the ducks, the other ducks the fights. Pollution and a poor sailor? One is a a sea slick, the other seasick. A salmon packer and a priest? One cans goods, the other cans Gods, they both fish. Propaganda and a bat? One lights hate, the other hates light, and both are blind. Woman of heart and woman of spirit? One ambitions caresses the other caresses ambitions. Rain is to cloudbreak what reign is to crowd break HE: 'I go out whenever I please! ' SHE: 'You please whenever you go out! '

Truth lies in...correction

METAKNOWLEDGE expands knowledge exponentially

If poetry is to be considered vibrant, precocious publication appears a contradiction in terms. Poems are living reflections of individual perception and, like life itself, should always be open to revision.
