In honor of Poetry Month, I am resurrecting my old WordPress website, The Backyard Poet.
https://thebackyardpoetcom.wordpress.com
I sure would appreciate you dropping by and giving me a look. Check out some of the old stuff and hopefully enjoy some new poetry and flash fiction.
~Back on My Side of the Road~
4/1/2025 Jerry Brotherton
I’ve tried to walk in the middle,
keep my mouth shut when I can.
But my silence is over,
and it’s time to make my stand.
No longer can I sit idly by,
with this world in disarray.
I’ll voice my mind and my heart,
let the chips fall where they may.

The poem you shared, “Back on My Side of the Road,” is a powerful expression of standing up for one’s beliefs and values. I’ll definitely be visiting your site and enjoying your new poetry and flash fiction. Happy Poetry Month!
