Welcome to The Poets Corner where we ardently welcome Robertson Work with poems from his book Earthling Love: Living Poems. The book consists of poetry celebrating Earth and Humanity, Family and Self.Rob tells us that his poems “… were written to be read aloud.
I love the sound of the words, the alliterations, the word plays, the repetitions, the surprises, the drama of it all.”As listeners we are graced to hear the soul of a sensitive man illuminate his verses. His “truth telling’” is a deeply touching heart to
heart moment as he says, I Vow To Be Happy”The chosen poems quintessentially “celebrate the precious gift of being a member of the Earth community” because Everyday Is Earth Day. It is A Gift Given as Earth Had A Dream. And so The Search is Ended. For Now.Please
join me at The Poets Corner for heart to heart moments you will want to experience again and again.</div>

<div class="x_moz-cite-prefix">Hi Rob,</div>
<div class="x_moz-cite-prefix">Many many thanks for sharing this. I learned so much about a wonderful person and so glad I got to know her personally but now a lot better. Had just read your poems about Mary in "Earthling Love" a few weeks ago. They are so
so touching. What a life, what a love, what a loss.</div>
<div class="x_moz-cite-prefix">I didn't know you were a poet. Some great writing in your book. They all touch me in different ways. The one I gave a resounding YES to, was page 59, "I Am Sick, But." Oh, I like to write poetry too. Here's one:</div>
