Amber HAPPY Valentine's💋🌷

I didn't know her name
  We had never been introduced
I stood in her pew
And tried not
To look in her eyes
She caught me
Time after time
Then we were assigned
To decorate the church together
I stood on a ladder
She handed me ornaments
She made curtains for the windows
The sun ricochet from her eyes
As we hung them
Again I try not to look in her eyes
They look like I could Dive Right In.


  I got up to read scripture in front of the church.
As I face the congregation I could always find these eyes looking back at me!
 She makes me feel
Like I need to be more
To equal her beauty
Those eyes and her long dark hair
The shape of her lips
Could you imagine her kiss?
Never....

                 Amber
When I look
You in the eyes
Do you feel me?
In them?

Swimming in their beauty
Shades of color
Like a coral reef
Under a perfect Blue Sky

Did you know
Such natural beauty exist
From her long dark hair
To the shape of her lips

Could you imagine her kiss?

Hey babe, I wrote this for you before you knew I wrote. And before I even got to hold you.   I just stole peeks of you down the pew.

I know you've been catching me swimming in your eyes again.
There must be something about them. Because they read me like a book!

Amber: why do you have that grin on your face? She asks with a grin.

Scott: I didn't think I would ever get to see these eyes this close from this angle Happy Valentine's babe!

Take Google plus out with a bang! Sign my wall!

I want to build
A Wall
as big as
The Great Wall of China
Only straight up!
It can't only be seen
From space
It's seen around
The World
On CNN,BBC and Fox news
On the front page
of the Washington Post
Reflecting
The written light
Not showing
Any Racial discrimination.
The Wall of Good Faith!

Hang myself from a cross on top!

Google plus is leaving us.... Sad emoji pouting

Now it's time to say goodbye
To all my Google friends
Should we be disappointed
All our posts are coming to the end?
GOO GLE E that's a failing grade
plus I feel I've been cheated.


But thanks for giving me
April 2
To make this happen.

Credit Karma. If it bleeds it leads

I have to give
Her credit
She sure is  she-is-if-it-bleeds-it-leads.
A good heroin
addict herion
I couldn't
Even tell
Until she nodded out
Or couldn't cook relapsing

I don't know
That she needs commended
Does she want
To live her life
Or just end it? three-strikes-you're-out-if-it-bleeds-it leads


Bob Jenkens

You have to give her credit I could never do it.
Puncture my flesh
Or leave my kid
Two months now since she left without saying a word. Didn't even send Gavin a Christmas card.
People that don't do heroin
Are still affected by the choices that an addict makes everyday. everyday-people-are-dieing-unnecessarily.html?m=1

Me and the boy are learning more about each other.

I've quit two jobs at once (one for the other)

It was one of my first radio jobs WABJ 1490 am. It wasn't full time it was board operator mostly. It was my foot in the door. There was a sign up sheet in the hallway. I took all the games shows or elections I could. Of course I had to get a day job to. I took a position at Ricks Body shop in Addison. It was a collision repair shop but I can do body work I can paint. I told Rick when I took the position that radio was my priority and if I needed a day off to do a remote broadcast or something I would give him fair notice. I had better part of a year in when the head body man got sick. I started doing more at the body shop. Rick seen my ability to do what ever he threw at me. I might be doing a red wings game til 12 or 1 in the morning. Then get up and go to the body shop. Rick approached me one day and he told me if I gave up my radio job he would make me head body man which incurred a significant raise. I've been making 5 dollars an hour at the radio station and 6 dollars an hour at the body shop. I know I've always dream  about the perfect radio job  But isn't this an opportunity?
  I quit the radio station to become head body man at Ricks. For a substantial raise. I guess I should have asked Rick his definition of substantial. He sat me down after I quit my radio job and explained to me I'm going from 6  an hour to 6.25. That's substantial?I'm furious I guess I should have asked more questions. I want to punch the dude right in his face. I removed myself by going to lunch and not coming back. I've quit two jobs one for the other. I think my next job was Clyde construction..whats-best-job-i-ever-quit-if-it-bleeds.html

I quit my radio J O B. WMXE 102.5

They wrote me up because I didn't go fix the air conditioner at the tower site on Easter Sunday. I flipped over the piece of paper and wrote my two weeks notice on the back. I've been a dumb roofer ever since. I had fixed the air conditioner before because the engineer was on vacation and we were off the air. They gave me a bag of powdered donuts for it. This time the engineer was at the tower site talking with Bob Elliot the station owner who told him not to fix it have me the disc jockey come and fix it. I work for donuts right?
  I remember a listener called me and told me I should be using my position in radio to report on the injustice that goes on at the Lenawee county court building. I told him I just don't have time. I make 14 thousand dollars a year. I have to leave here and go to work everyday. whats-best-job-i-ever-quit-if-it-bleeds.html I would talk about my builders on the air and they were throwing roof jobs at me. I can roof a house by myself. And Love doing it. Just ask anyone who's been on the ground within 100 yards of me. I'm singing and working sometimes racing a rain storm. a-roofer-in-rome-if-it-bleeds-it-leads.html
 I've never quit a roof job exposing the home owner to the elements. The radio station used people. Maybe that's just my opinion but people with dreams of being successful, famous infamous flowed through at alarming rates. People couldn't work there for to long before they were worried about rent and food. My ability to roof a house by myself carried me. Only the radio station kept firing people and telling me their job was my job now. That's what automation did Donald Trump.They even fired the cleaning people and they worked for free commercial spots. They fired Scott Livesay the production engineer. Now making commercials for all three Friends Communication stations is my job. I don't have time to go roof any more. All these added responsibilities with no more money. Maybe it's just my opinion but I think radio will use peoples dreams.

How wrong it is "If it bleeds it leads"

Crab up a rig
And run it dry
Blow an air bubble
Right in your eye
From your elbow
To your thigh
Top of your feet
You can always rely
That bubble?
Has to travel farther
Into your eye
But you can't see

How wrong it is

Across the seas "the Infamous sadness"

A pencil to a friend
or a friend to a pencil?
Still I don't know......
How to send
A simple S.O.S
To ask for help
Deserted on a peninsula
A pencil for a paddle
and this paper for the seas
Weather you see it is up to you....
My friend

  I write in a 75 cent composition book. I work as a builder and I always have my book with me. When It's full I read through it take out the pages littered from job estimates and compile the poems on the front pages of a new composition book. When I drive to work I think about what I should write. My kindle direct  books are from years and years of my poems. If it bleeds it leads is the title I've chosen for my current composition book.  I love to share what I write and to see it being read on the other side of the world is impressive to me. Thanks for reading! Participation is always encouraged. shoot me something I'll talk. My post are always loaded with more links to other poems and other life experiences. (just keep clicking) I don't know how it comes together in the end. I couldn't have wrote it if God didn't plan it out. If you watch a video know that every house I roofed. I can carry two bundles of shingles up a ladder at the same time on a bet a dare or to impress a pretty girl.

Two writes don't make a wrong "if it bleeds it leads"


Things have changed a lot around here.  I’ve become a single parent again.relapsing.html Before, I was working as much as I could to try and dig us out of a financial hole. Gavin’s Mom didn’t work, her responsibility was Gavin. Get him off the bus, do his spelling and love him. We’ve been fixing a lot of things. My son is a polite and courteous boy. Has an overflow of energy. He’s all boy.
  He’s been doing poor at spelling. Two right out of twelve. Mom had been having him write his words. I asked him “how does Mr. Hard test you”?  Gavin says he says them to him. So now we say spelling words and Gavin gets two wrong now. I asked him what it’s like to know the answers and I can see the excitement in his face Yeah he said and I see him encouraged to work with me on them. At dinner we use to have him eat in his room. He won’t eat most of what we would eat so it just played out he would eat first in his room. Well per Laura Lynn this is unacceptable. I’ve changed his diet he eats what I eat and we eat it at the table together.  I’ve also taken over laundry responsibilities. I couldn’t help but notice the terrible skid marks in Gavin’s 5 nights at Freddie under ware. So I waited and caught him on the shitter. How you wiping your butt dude I asked him. His under ware lay on the floor I carefully roll them over so he can see the mark and I tell him that’s not right. Show me how you do this. I don’t want to be graphic here but I immediately told him no no no no don’t do that that’s not going to work. I can’t believe he’s had my phone in here.  It was time for butt wiping 101.
  I made spaghetti tonight. Gavin don’t like any meat in his sauce he’s funny like that. I cut his spaghetti up with a pizza cutter and Laura Lynn thinks that’s genius. Laura Lynn turned me on to putting cottage cheese in my spaghetti. It makes it like lasagna. If Gavin has three different foods he wants three different forks and nothing can touch each other. Cheese on spaghetti is ok.  Laura Lynn didn’t join us tonight…..  Gavin was ready to sit down at the table to eat with me. Tonight he sat down in his spot before spaghetti was done. He was trying to order chicken patties. I had to remind him I’m making spaghetti.  While we were eating Gavin said to me “I’m glad mom is gone”. I asked him why? He told me because “you take  better care of me” he said” mom was just here”. I’m only getting to work about 5 hours a day chasing the school bus. I can see I was using her for a crutch and she wasn’t for either of us.three-strikes-youre-out-if-it-bleeds-it.html
We have a lot more changes to make but I can feel it the toxicity is gone.

I'm not colleen Kaepernick " if it bleeds it leads"

I'm so poor my voice is suppressed
Useless
It's not laryngitis
I'm not Colin Kaepernick
He gets thrown a 40 million dollar contract
While the people he's kneeling for
Are in jails overcrowded
Misrepresented
By attorney generals
Through a revolving door
Criminal
          Just us system

Bob Jenkens

Our courts beat up on poor people, I invite Colleen Kaepernick to court.
When the bailiff says "all rise" we will both take a knee. After Colleen is done signing 
autographs he can make my bail and explain to me where my white privilege is at.
Is Colleen Kaepernick still alive?

My poor world "if it bleeds it leads"

My name is God
And I am only human
In my dreams
I dreamt up nation's
I made available
Agriculture and natural resources
More than enough to share

I made up solutions to problems
I knew they would incur 
I gave them free will
To sprinkle on each other
They took their free will
And developed hunger, racism, injustice and politics
I didn't dream of greed
they developed that themselves
They use their free will to bully the world

Then I woke up
My name is God
I am who I am 
only human but so are you!

Life goes on " if it bleeds it leads"

If you drown
A WIC
In wax
It is just
A candle
If you light
The WIC
A fire will
Burn
The wax
Will melt
