    About this ebook

    I am to me what I can't be

    To any other one--

    At times it's quite discouraging

    At other times it's fun

    It may seem quite absurd to you

    All that I won't show

    And yet I feel you're just like me

    But only you would know.

    Bobi Leutschaft Poitras

    Bobi Leutschaft Poitras was born in Germany and moved with her family to Canada at the age of three. She has been writing poetry since she can remember and has been painting for several years. Bobi is fascinated by the simultaneous beauty and ugliness of life, and tries to reflect that in her work. She lives in Ontario, Canada, with her husband. They have four wonderful children and two adorable grandchildren (so far).

      Two Poems

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
