Best Farsighted Poems

O for the Wings, Eyes and Ears of an Owl
~~~
Assuming we could do eye-popping things
As does an owl flying the night on wings
When no one knows of antics in moonlight
O for the mystique of a silent flight.

Imagine having circular vision
It'd be alike watching television

Sir Henry Morgan, Welsh born
Wasn't a pirate but a privateer so it's shown
As he had a document from King Charles II
Authorising to attack enemy ships for gain

His most famous attack was on
Panama City in 1670., where he seized upon
Vast amounts of Gold.
Then captured Puerto Bello...

President's Day is approaching so I thought I would further your education,
By revealing useless trivia about some of the dudes who've served our nation.

He wore size 13 shoes and seldom took a bath much...

I have tried and I think I have tried
When you fail they are notified
When you shout they are silent
I will shout to that extent
You can live to tell
And forget to dwell
Among which is most significant
And mislead him who is so infant

I have tried and I...

Four more years
Four more years
Barack Hussein Obama
Four more years.

To continue the journey 
Begun four years ago 
To score aimed goal
Four more years.

Of American Dream
 Four more years.

To keeo the economy
Always on the move
For America built to last
Four more years.

For...

3:33 am and my eyes feel the same open as they do closed

(I wonder if this is how she felt?)

Front teeth smother
Bottom lip,
(Except when I cough)


Stress stains my cognition.
Red drips and green strokes.
Acid spots
burning through
Solar galaxies

The darkness is embracing.
Demons dance to my rapid heart beat.
Tantalising...

we sailed to the island, the island, the island
and would stay there evermore
with nothing to read but coconuts
and cocoa berries upon the tree
with no barber, Dennis or lawman
things could ghetto might strange
but we handle a leader (let's call him trumper)
trumper stood higher, and gave a...

I welcome the rising sun from the comfort of my aerie,
Surveying my domain - the mountains, streams and verdant prairie!  

I preen my feathers and flex my wings for another day of flight,
Soaring o'er God's vast creation cherishing everything in sight!

Ah! To behold the...

They kill for their namesake
Blinded with visions of righteousness
Mirrored with images of self
Sanctifying, with daggers plunging deep
Crowds gather in loyalty
Massed in fear, assembled in hatred
Adherence to dogmas of a farsighted kind
While master deceivers bloom like orchids...

Blue 
Waves 
usher
ocean  dream
enchanting ripples,
whose hypnotic spell oozes charm,
for  yellow dawn pearl-eyed first light  riser’s coastal fog,
 stunned by the heavenly turquoise canvass  of tidal moss  fleck swoon and swirl  gyrations 

On

visions
magic sweep
splashy catalyst
at the cusp of...

I will have no dirges sung at my funeral
No tear-jerking poems are to be recited,
Closed casket, I’m reposing in the natural.

Flowers I’ll appreciate your being liberal
You see, where I wound up, I’m delighted
I will have no dirges sung at my funeral.

I’m inclined to favor simple...
