poison sumac

turns red at the first hint of fall..
it's when I start to stall
my summer
because my cheeks Rosie with coldness
I don't relish the thought.

ill

This morning I worried
Before I even opened my eyes
Worry woke me up
I feel relieved
To slide this pen
Across this paper
With irregular breathing
Emptying my mind

Job related stress

I sometimes wish I were in a battle
With loud banging gunfire around me
Fighting with all my heart for some purpose to expose and save my life.
Explosions echoing through tree's and over hills wanting to attack
The action
Seems to be in the next gorge
Ravishing through thick brush and then belly down sliding down the gorge
To find empty shells
And again
Echoing gunfire from over the hills
Only louder this time
My heart pounds to the consistent banging
Bang bang bang
Sitting up in pure sweat
Clutching the alarm clock in both hands
No use for the snooze button today
Its back to the battle!

Bob Jenkens

I wrote this while I was working for mix 102.5 as a program director and morning show host.
now I'm working as a builder. this is a poem about missing my destiny. My purpose is not to be quiet. I write about my struggles in everyday life. share my struggles if you can relate to what I write.
watch the video..... the houses are jobs I've done by myself . First is my ketchup poem then job related stress. I spent seventeen hours doing just the audio. Every gunshot noise is placed in the piece. all the voices are mine as well.

it wouldn't load my video because it says it's the wrong format. it did let me load this and it has the job related stress poem in it. please share. thank you!

My last dollar

Every week I spend my last dollar
Living week to weak
Never giving up.
I'm not lazy
I roof houses by myself
I'm Waiting
for my lucky break?
Not to be broke

I'm still waiting for something good to catch up to me!




Struggling writer
I sometimes think it makes their day
To see me struggle
And sometimes I wonder what if I didn't struggle?
What if I were rich?
I'd probably fall over dead.
Hypothesis....
The struggle is what I live for
Sometimes I get up
Just to struggle some more!

Thank you for following. Now come on lets go!

I haven't posted recently because I had no minutes on my phone.
Even while I wasn't posting I still got hits from India, China, Poland, Italy, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Portugal,
Ireland, France and Germany you guys rock! Thank you! Share me too! God rules.


To the end we'll always fight
For better life we know is write
If the battles lost we must retreat
It's just a battle
Not defeat.
Heal our minds and change or signs
At any cost we can't feel lost
They will feel safe
Let their guards down
Then we'll come up
From underground

To see the end we can't stay down
Get back up to the battle ground!

The Write Way: What colors Humanity? black and white

The Write Way: What colors Humanity? black and white: Mr. Sparky wags I’m not gay but I Love this dude. And he’s not gay either but I’m sure he loves me too. Sometimes I love to watch...

Schwwwww

Today I felt..
I had to sigh...
then I knelt and began to cry!

I tried to fight it
and did not win
I had to sit
and cry again

I've hidden in shadows
and counted my tears
looking through windows
that are more like mirrors!

The Daily telegram was blank?

I know no news is good news but if your Sunday paper came blank with only a header and a date would you think it was good?   Sarasota deputys arrested in attempted murder investigation.911.html?m=1
 Or would you feel misinformed? Police shouldn't be policing police... Our justice system is just us....

I'm not gay but I love this dude!

Mr. Sparky wags


I’m not gay but I Love 
this dude.
And he’s not gay either 
but I’m sure he loves me too.
Sometimes I love to watch him rest.
I wonder when his feet
   Start to twitch…..
Are we chasing a rabbit in his sleep?

It makes me secure….
     When I’m asleep
To know he’s there…
   Watching me twitch…
And wondering if I’m throwing him a stick.

Sparky waggs is my good best friend! He's been with me for fourteen years. He loves to go to work with me. I examine him like myself aging in a mirror. I see on his black ears he has white spots coming in as my nose hairs turn gray we've come along way Mr Sparky waggs. I hate to think I should ever have to live without him. I wish I could do better for him but he seems to be happy in this old truck.

I think https:///What-colors-Humanity-Bob-Jenkens-ebook/dp/B00SVZ950W/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8#nav-subnavPolice Policing Police is where we need some whistle blowers to stand up and admit our judicial system is failing....
I'm hear to tell you it's not just black men being subjected to mis representation it's a poor people thing. It's no secret if you can afford a paid lawyer your out come will be much better than if you went in with court appointed representation.
what colors humanity? it's green like money I say. " I was born a poor black child" just like Steve Martian in the jerk. http://fbgfgc.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-jerk-do-you-remember-you-mean-im.html 

I don't know why I feel I have an obligation to share with people my story. I love my dog mr sparky waggs! he's the best! I'm a dumb roofer sparky has been coming to work with me for fourteen years. He doesn't  do anything. He knows when it's lunch and when it's time to come home. He understand plain English and i talk to him like a person. He's the best! He inspired me to write a silly little poem about him and our story with lenawee c/2015/06/it-dont-pay-to-be-homeless-less-than.html

My daughter Zoe Blyss and I were making to book be a project we would go to the library to work on.. since I had no place to live.
Zoe lives with her mom Sarah. It was January 27 last year when me and Zoe sat down with a hand selected stack of my poems. some of them were inspired by our judicial  system. the description i wrote for the book was right off the top of my head.. I had already decided my cover page and title. Description I thought....
