Best Keen Poems

Reminis on how many times,
Having keen observations
Were depended on - 
To report, to assist in, to formulate
A scientific opinion in the Healing
process of a Charge.

The Charges members also got to know,
And when an elderly Charge passes on,
Members cry out: "If you had only been there"!

Then...

My neighbour’s little son is so smart
In an assignment on Grandparents, he wrote
“They never seem to hurry,
Any time, can tell a story
Before sleep, they take their teeth and gums out”...

Right arm is missing or that's how it seems
Could be worse but it's as bad as it's been
No telly, no 'puter
All I think of is hooters
Which ain't all that bad, in fact it's kinda keen

Sweet, succulent Elberta Peach
It's tell-tale blush within my reach.
It's that time of year again
A peach to die for and then
I have to have another,
The ultimate peach, brother!
Sweet, succulent Elberta peach
It's tell-tale blush within my reach....

Local authorities’ love recycling
It’s a green policy and its one that wins
They want to reduce the carbon footprint
Of the electorate, for their sins

" Keen To His Fate "

First & foremost with alacrity,
One sailor sailed so o'er his sea.
Winds a'fillin' canvas & seam,
Great ship layin' o'er well on her beam.

Thus began a journey so bold,
Tales ayre told by young and old.
O'seafarer man a'gone to such sea,
What might come...

He’s just so different,
more so than me and you
Got a most unconventional walk,
and an odd meter pause when he talk
As if some fluttering revelation
feather dropped into his mind 
in the middle of a quixotic thought
Notice closely how he ties his shoes,
observe carefully 
how he stipulates...

As dogs eat dogs,and cats eat the intestine of
the cats, I watch with keen interest.

Trees fall over trees,
sun gazes with great intensity
as cloud whispers in thick darkness
and the sky belches loudly,
I watch with keen interest.

As shark swallows the tilapia and
 the tilapia the tadpoles and...

O, an amazing woman she is!
She has heard my heart’s cries, thoughts, and questions,
without ever raising her voice or eye brows.

Once as a drug addict, she heard my heart shout “I can’t take it anymore!”
so many times. Like an angel seeing through a mortal’s wounded...

Since it’s the beginning of a rather bleak week, 
I’ve decided to play games like hide and go seek.
First I have to round up some willing boys and girls, 
They are around the corner , some are wearing curls.
We all have to be careful when...
