Rob Bartsch's Poetic Injustice Page

Welcome to my page of poetry. Please excuse the basic looking design of the page but well. Since you're here to read there's no need candy coding/coating this section for you wouldn't you say? I'll be brief. This whole "poetic injustice" thing started when I discovered my ability to have a "play on words". It's fun to take a topic and expand on it. And in a poetic just lymeric kind of way.

I'll let you be the judge. Just try not to be too much of a harsh one k people? It's not like I'm published

or anything. Just sharing some of my poems. I've already accumulated well over a hundred but I just wanted to put a taste of it up for your enjoyment.

I'm thinking about publishing them all in a book because the hundred I've already completed were just intermitent over the past few years. If I really put my mind to this, I'm sure I could do many more over time.

Enough of this...let's cut to the chase. Here's the poetry. And by all means email me if you'd like to comment.

All the best....R. Bartsch

The Poems

AVERAGE JOE (But My Name Goes By ROB)

I'm just your average Joe
But my name goes by Rob
Just a quiet young fellow
Who tries hard at his job

Well not really...I do good
But there's much more to tell
I work hard when I play
But stay closed in my shell

Not a hermit mind you
But I love my own space
I'm an outgoing guy
When I am face to face

I do best on my own
When I keep myself busy
Doing too many things
Til I make me quite schizzy

I embrace all of life
Whilest I figure me out
Taking good with the bad
I'm a big sweet ol kraut

 

BRIGHTER DAYS

I don't feel any hurt
Days go by so damn fast
Now I stop to admire   them
Find good moments to last

I'm not always this dark
I just love that I wallow
Helps me understand things
Finding song from my sorrow

Brighter days lie within me
As I seek them right out
Remove negative thoughts
And try hard not to doubt

Positive energy all around me
If I try not to break it
Then all good things do come
For all bad...I can shake it

COLLECTOR

I'm a buyer of things
And it's really quite bad
Fact...I bought this new music
That I already had

I wasn't always this way
Til I found one small hobby
Buying one disc...then two
Until no one could stop me

Then I found love in film
And got this thing with cassettes
Then it was laserdisc
Then DVD in effect

Collecting all media
Would this ever just stop?
Wait...there plasma screens   now!?!
With new sound system will ROCK

So I buy it all up
And I just keep on going
Better head to the store
Keep my credit aflowing

INSTALL-WAIT-SHUNS

As I sit here and wait
For the install to be done
I have time to just sit here
All this waiting's no fun

Technology moves forward
As this time just stands still
While I wait for this update
To just finish it's will

I've stared long at this bar
It's been moving forever
Please just finish this up
This code can't be that clever
