About Robert Lindley

(Show Details...)

A few of my quotes over the years:

Listing A Personal View Of What Poetry Is

1. Poetry is a stone, turned to expose to searching winds of a once hidden earth.
Robert J. Lindley

2. Poetry is art, mind painted, heart colored and fire risen.
Robert J. Lindley

3. Poetry is a fruit, hanging on a bountiful tree, begging to fall.
Robert J. Lindley

4. Poetry is an ever expanding ocean, begging ever more creatures to swim in its swirling depths.
Robert J. Lindley

5. Poetry is cake on a golden platter, eaten with fork, spoon, butter knife or greedy hands.
Robert J. Lindley

6. Poetry is cherry blossoms, crying for the soft, cool winds to wave their beauty to the awaiting sun and the gasping skies.
Robert J. Lindley

7. Poetry is glistening dewdrops falling upon virgin ground to gift dawn's hope and night's desire to match brilliance of glistening moonbeams.
Robert J. Lindley

8. Poetry is a poet's heart and soul uniting to bless others, while temporarily shielding searching souls against this dark world's poison tipped arrows.
Robert J. Lindley

9. Poetry is brightly sent musical notes that heart sees, mind colors and spirit longs to record.
Robert J. Lindley

10. Poetry is ink blotted, soul driven splashes that cry to be read, beg to be understood and unabashedly sing to give to its dear readers.
Robert J. Lindley

11.Poetry is a colorful bird, in heavenly flight to a paradise that awaits man's sincere pleading heart and desirous spirit.
Robert J. Lindley

12. Poetry is a child happily playing, a mother joyfully singing and a father blessed to have and so very dearly appreciate loving both.
Robert J. Lindley

Subject, ( What Poetry Is)

**************************

My biography will be very limited for now. Here , I can express myself in poetic form but in real life I much rather prefer to be far less forward I am a 60 year old American citizen , born and raised in the glorious South! A heritage that I am very proud of and thank God for as it is a blessing indeed ~

Currently married to my beautiful young wife(Riza) a lovely filipina lady and we have a fantastic 7 year old son, Justin ~

I have truly lived a very wild life as a younger man but now find myself finally very happily settled down for the duration of my life~

I decided to rest here and express myself with hopes that it may in some way help others, for I see here a very diverse and fine gathering of poets, artists, and caring folks~

Quickly finding friends here that amaze me with such great talent~~

I invite any and all to comment on my writes and send me soup mail to discuss

whatever seems important to them ~

Part Two, Blog On The Importance Of Seeking And Maintaining A Higher Level Of Creativity-

( New Poetry Form Included )

A Hexadic Presentation, With Creativity The Desired Goal

Six Poetic Queries In Short Verse- new Lind30Rhyme form…

(1.)

The Magnitude Of Heartfelt Verses

O' heart blessed be thy years

Tho' waterfalls be thy tears

Deep lakes form from thy crying

Shall there be sorrows in thy dying?

Robert J. Lindley, 1-17-2022

Lind30, Rhyme 7,7,7,9

(2.)

Insightful Thoughts From Within Inner Depths

O' soul what sea gifts thy tides

what dreams stirs thy bonafide

spirit bowing to love's calls

what ghosts wander in thy castle halls?

Robert J. Lindley, 1-17-2022

Lind30, Rhyme 7,7,7,9

(3.)

Those Dreams That Gift Us Desired Treasure

O' mind dare thee more create

therein, tempting Hand of Fate

with dreams that go far beyond

life and love in thy small splashing pond?

Robert J. Lindley, 1-17-2022

Lind30, Rhyme 7,7,7,9

( 4.)

Dreams And Love Far, Far Too Sweet To Explain

O' love can thy depths contain

dreams far too sweet to explain

how dearest sleep pleasures brings

angelic voice her fantasy sings?

Robert J. Lindley, 1-17-2022

Lind30, Rhyme 7,7,7,9

(5.)

Do Joyous Gems Come To Those Brave-Of- Heart

O' truth does love's power hold

sweet joys for the brave and bold

as rewards for battles fought

gifting treasures that cannot be bought?

Robert J. Lindley, 1-17-2022

Lind30, Rhyme 7,7,7,9

(6.)

Romance And Dreams Within Aching Longings

O' spirit does desire stir

deeper pleas within night's blur

or sadness dawn's waking hour

for lover's touch beyond dreams' powers?

Robert J. Lindley, 1-17-2022

Lind30, Rhyme 7,7,7,9

Note:
This blog , the second part of previous blog delves

into the greater quest for a higher level of creativity

and greater depths in short form poetry. Measuring

how well the new Lind30 poetry form can help in

that determined poetic endeavor. With this blog, I

concentrated on Lind30 rhyme.. Next blog, I will go

with Lind30 unrhymed. God bless…

Robert Lindley

Thank you, my friend. This new form hopefully gives a foundation that aids the poet to express more from heart and soul with less verbiage. I look forward to reading your fine new creation at some future time. God bless.

Date: 1/19/2022 7:49:00 AM

Robert, these are classical and creative; your new form allows for creativity to manifest like a Shakespearean sonnet; yet utilizing the simplicity of the 7/7/7/9 form becomes a gift; the most treasured gifts come in small packages. Blessings, Paulette

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/19/2022 10:11:00 AM

Thank you, my friend. I hope the several positives of the new form come as a very beneficial aid to fellow poets and give pathways into great creativity and depths in short poetry forms. If so, mission accomplished. God bless.

The old English adds a different touch. I enjoyed reading these. Sara

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/18/2022 3:54:00 PM

Thank you, my friend. Yes, the old English I thought would be a nice touch. The 6 poems are linked to places/events in my young life --of decades ago. Even the 6th poem which seems that most favor. God bless..

I applaud your creativity and imagination in the construction of your form and I am interested in seeing how creative you get with it

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/18/2022 3:52:00 PM

Thank you, my friend. I hope to get even more creative with it since my next blog, will have examples of it in the other variation, the LIND30Unrhymed version. I truly do believe that the new form fives more freedom, more leeway to be more expressive and go into more depths in short form poetry. God bless..

Brandy
Nicole

Date: 1/18/2022 12:24:00 PM

Each poem holds a beautiful mood and a tender emotion. I think the last one is my favorite. Your talent shines, my dear sweet friend. I like this new form you have created. May have to try it out sometime. Thank you for being here, for being you. Many wonderful blessings to you and yours. :) Hugs, Brandy

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/18/2022 3:48:00 PM

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5028408/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6611619/ The other 7 links, flowed back into the magnificent and true concepts in these two links. That creativity is a living thing that must be nurtured and exercised for it to give fully to the poet. Finding new poetry forms in which to explore flows into that idealism like the Amazon merges with its mighty force into the sea. RJL.

thank you, Robert, absolutely beautiful. Great examples

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/18/2022 10:16:00 AM

Thank you, my friend, Tis so very kind of you to read and comment. These six poems were composed to show a foundation for short poetry that gives more freedom and creativity to the poet, imho. God bless.

Tom
Cunningham

Date: 1/18/2022 8:13:00 AM

Another inspiring blog from your gifted pen Robert, admin should add lind30 to their poetry forms. Tom

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/18/2022 10:12:00 AM

Thank you, my friend. I am definitely with you on that suggestion. Definitely, I'm very much in favor of that coming to be the case. Short form poetry could use a bit of new blood, methinks. God bless.

Your poems indeed touch the heart especially of the grieving who knows those tears if not for themself but for the one who weeps the more.

Robert Lindley
Date: 1/18/2022 10:08:00 AM

Thank you, my friend. Number 1 poem, was composed from a sad event in my life in the mid 1970's. And yes, a great many agonizing tears were shed back then. God bless.

Robert Lindley

Thank you, my friend. The new poetry form lends itself to a freer hand in short form poetry while setting the foundation for a smoother and deeper flow. Of course rightly based upon the verses born from the poet's heart. God bless.
