Hard Pressed is a book of poetry by LaVan Robinson. A seasoned poet who has several poems and books published; this is the book of books. What makes life hard? What is pressing on the mind? What are the concerns in society that keep us up at night? It is hard, in a society driven by fear, to find ways to resolve issues. It takes open, honest communication with those whom we live close, with our daily contacts, with the authorities, and the powers of us. We the people of this society can make choices to enact change. This can be through several means. Hard Pressed – flavors of a society through the eyes of humanity explores and offers poetic prose thoughts of the poet.

Evening Falls
evening falls and so do I
into sleep, early in the night
mother nature says “good night”
controls are remote, out in the sky
sonnets clear the worries now
today will turn into tomorrow
just about when my eyes may wiggle
my muse comes to me with a giggle
morning calls me up to write
I bid goodbye to this last night
for today, I will stay on task
another sweet evening is all I ask
This is from the daily prompt of Write Better Poetry
