Standing up
Or standing out
That’s what life
Is all about

Passions grow
From simple seeds
And welling up
With inner needs

Flowers grow in sunshine
When weeding gives them space
Blooming in the sunlight
And warmth of nature’s grace

Winds do sway in motion
Through solitary hours
Such is the price of beauty
Of extraordinary flowers

About the Poem Extraordinary Flowers

The poem Extraordinary Flowers is about people that stand out in the world. Flowers that grow too high are often chopped off. Such is the impact on many people who stand out. There’s a certain fear in standing out, but that’s the price of being extraordinary.

Inspirational Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
