Bobby’s Ode
He cast his poetry on the river of our consciousness,
His collection of poetic bait seemingly bottomless.

Unafraid to wade into unconventional waters
Always interested in the tradition of local horrors.

First discovered as a jewel on the diamond,
As always a king of his own island.

A victim of diabetes that stole his eyes
His focus forever on the prize.
