Tim Smith Poet Rhyme

A Watchful World

waterfall spirits rise
dreams drown
under pressure to perform

elders swarm
like naked children at the lake
just laugh at those mistakes

no one really understands
past present we pretend
watchful eyes never end

lifelines protected perches
hold on to our saving grace
heads high there's a world to face

Darren White January 23, 2017 at 12:56 AM Watchful world, eyes all aimed at you over there... I am sure that's not the meaning of the poem, but I just had to say it. No one really understands.

Arthur Vaso January 22, 2017 at 5:59 PM I like this and especially the first 2 lines, I am sure there is more to this than I am reading, but loved it none the less!

Daver Austin January 22, 2017 at 10:03 AM Yes - pressure and opinion. I like the stoic, "worlds to face." Love, daver
