Just west of imagination
You might just find your Oz
A colorful cast of characters
Fighting for the cause
The roads may not be yellow
No poppy fields in sight
Just a cozy little hamlet
Where you can sleep soundly every night
No wicked witch awaits you
Though some good ones can be found
Bringing joy and wonder
And magic all around
You might look hard to find it
But it’s been here all along
A little place of wonder
Once captured in a song
About the Poem Over the Rainbow
The poem Over the Rainbow is about discovering that you already have what you are looking for. It’s so easy to get caught up in chasing rainbows and other things. Just like in The Wizard of Oz, the Emerald City isn’t really what Dorothy thinks it is, and the characters simply play out roles for her to discover what she already had. Most of us, if we stop long enough, will find that what we are looking for is closer than we think.
Three years ago, we moved from where I had lived for more than half a century. My great-grandfather moved there in 1895. I currently live not far from where he grew up as a child. You never know where life will take you.
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.
