Simple in composition
Complex in design
Something always special
In each one that you find

So many ways to come together
The shape, the sound, the feel
The many combinations
Reminds you that it’s real

There really are so many
That we don’t always see the one
And soon they are gone forever
Beneath the warming sun

So see them while they’re falling
Catch one on your tongue
And listen to the siren song
Snowflakes have always sung

About the Poem Snowflakes

The poem Snowflakes is about the many ways we can perceive snow. I have piles of it around my house. And the older I get, the less I like it. For many of us, snow loses its magic over time. Sometimes we need a little reminder of how we looked at snow a long, long time ago. There’s beauty and wonder and it’s different when you look at lots of it, or just one snowflake. Every one is different. But we can’t see that when we look at lots of them together. Many of us last appreciated snow when we were catching it on our tongues. Snow also makes different sounds when it’s falling, and when you walk on it. These are some of the things we forget. And some of the things we should try to remember.

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.
