“….our optimism has already blown this joint….;” “a carnival germinates in my body;”…. Robert, after being exposed to your words in print here on your blog, and occasionally with audio, it is a real pleasure to view you in a public reading. I realize that your poems often delight me with unique phrases❣️

Am delighted to see this post. It’s a great pleasure to see the face and heard the voice behind all the poems I’ve been consuming on “O at the Edges”. You’re a blessed soul Bob, and so are your friends Clare and Bessie. More ink to your pen Bob, and thanks for sharing this as it just inspired me to write a three Stanzas poem with three lines in each. I dedicate this poem to you, Clare and Bessie and I will read it at our next monthly poetry night.
