Best Glasses Poems

Uncomplicated me
I thought I was coloured blind
free thinking and kind
with an evolved mind
Loving and accepting 
of the ones I find

Yet my blindness 
Is that of privilege
I'm just a visitor
in the Global village
From my narrow thin mind
there is too much spillage

Although so many
are forced from their...

I wish we had truth glasses
Which would enable one to see another’s truth or lies
Face to face and with every other type of communication
All mistruths and deceptions no longer disguised


The truth glasses would be brilliant on social media
A big bold word of either “ TRUE...

I see you
Now stuck in two dimensions 
They sit you up
They lie you down
Semi vertical
Fully horizontal

Yet, I have the coloured lenses 
Of memory
They don't know the man I can see;
Cycling, dancing, singing
Living a fully rounded vibrant life
Kind and gentle

Father, husband, friend
Grandpa, colleague, leader
Teacher, wise councillor
Bright...

She wore pineapple rings for glasses
and walked like jelly dances
I didn't rate her chances
She used to wee standing up
she cooked lemon a'la duck
won the lottery, grumbled what bad luck
like a surgical nip, without the tuck.
She'd blow cream cheese when she sneezed
and eat ram dressed as...

Two o'clock she hits me hard 
I salute to another captain 
look around and swallow hard 

Not as hard as you leaving 
hitting me straight between the eyes 
stars spinning right after midnight 
can't remember exactly why 

Whispers filled the empty cauldron 
along with a...

A full glass of red wine,
each time I choose to dine.
It always makes me feel fine,
as if I need it to always shine.
In my body, it builds a shrine:
it's my own sacred lifeline.
I got it from a grapevine,
A bond I entwine,
as now mine:
online
in line,
It's divine.
I...

I want rose coloured glasses,
To watch the world burn and misty mushrooms fill up the sky.

I want rose coloured glasses,
To watch the sun's rays shine from window tops.

I want rose coloured glasses,
To accept my defeated fate in the ruins of the golden antiquity.

I want rose...

Girls Who Wear Glasses

Girls who wear glasses 
Are seen as geeks or a nerd,
Which is the most ridiculous thing
That I've ever heard!

Girls who wear glasses
Are actually sexy and cool
Whether they’re petite little pixies
Or long-legged and tall.

Girls who wear glasses
Look intelligent and smart;
A look that has...

The rain on my glasses
I see it, so magnified
Each droplet, a crystal
Gliding 
Upon the wall of my mind,
On every lens,
A waterfall, a river,
A stream
In the rear, I stand
Pondering
As if in a marvelous dream.

The rain on my glasses
I see it, so magnified
Each droplet,
A spring inundating
The arid...

Rose colored glasses

a fantasy view perceived

splendid get away

almost not wanting to leave

everyone should own a pair......

I look at the world through rosy glasses
It helps me tolerate the asses
And as each new day passes
I am happy to be here

The glass I see is half-way full
I think diversity is kind’a cool
Mix up genes in the human pool
And let prejudices disappear

I like staying...

There was a man from Thomaston
Of real good vision he had none
Glasses weren't any help
They sat upon the shelf
From his surgery he's left stunned 

My husband has had cataract surgery this week..
He says that he can't see any better out of the eye
upon which he...

The longer

the stronger 
the glasses.

Snuggling through words
Playing the role of her ruse
The broken family picture
Erase the humanity from her bone

Playing hide and seek with realism
She stands under the spotlight
As if the audience blindfolded 
As if they were meant to be deaf

Rely on the notion of her self perspective
She lost...
