Barns and yarns and fairy tales
Of iron men and ships with sails
A distant view of times of yore
And memories of the world’s first war

Set adrift upon the sea
Early in our century
Back around a time of war
The world has never seen before

Woolen coats kept out the cold
Back on those ships in days of old
Weeks it took to cross the ocean
This now must seem a foreign notion

But now those days are gone for good
Along with men on ships of wood
There’s no return for ships with sails
But maybe we’ll again see whales

About the Poem Whale Song

The poem Whale Song is about how the days of whaling 100 years ago and that the whales are starting to make a come back.

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.
