Everyday Table

This is a poem written for the Midweek Motif on Poets United on “Everyday Living.”

I associate sitting down to a family dinner with everyday life.

A simple dinner

cutting my meat

with a fork

because

I’m too lazy

to clean a knife

talking

about the facade

of the day

so I leave

the house

to look at stars.

-Rob Jackson 

Engines

Well I incorrectly posted a poem to the wrong motif. Here is me trying to make up for it.

When I think of October and Fall, I often think of the harvest and the old tractors used. And I think of family. So here’s a poem:

Please

show me

the rusted engines

of your family

and soul.

Show me

the struggle

to turn

rumbling

on rust

and old fuel

because I know

there is hope

in those metal parts

cast

ages ago.

-Rob Jackson

Multiverses

This poem continues from the last poem inspired by the Poets United Midweek Motif of Truth:

But today I’m sharing this one on the Poets United poetry pantry.

Find solace

in knowing

there is a multiverse

somewhere

where everything

that should be true

is,

but there also exists

a realm

where everything true here

is false.

-R. L. Jackson 

Truth

Truth

We live 

in the age

of quantum truth,

when the facts

vary

depending 

on who’s watching.

-R. L. Jackson, 2019
