Eyed Poems | Examples

Black-Eyed Susans

I’m ordering a pack of seeds
For planting near my house.
Some flowers near a home is
An idea that I espouse.

If I plant black-eyed Susans
And, with luck, they really sprout,
I’ll surely smile each time
I’m coming home or going out.

Their color pops with happiness
And with their middle dot,
Or so-called “eye,” they paint a picture
I like quite a lot.

My thumb’s the opposite of green
So I won’t be surprised
If the seeds I plant don’t give me
Blooms the packets advertised.

Still, it’s not a big investment
To procure and plant some seeds,
For a dash or rain and sun and hope
Is all somebody needs.

Black-Eyed Pieces

You're on top, so, you think you've got 'em,

But, you don't understand, boxing's pugilistic ways.

Then, you're dropped, you hit rock-bottom,

They say, Hey Punchy, who carries your luggage these days?

You won, cuz, you knew you were, "The One,"

Now, you've got scars, broken bones that...never really healed.

With no more, "Glory Days," in the sun,

It's December, can't remember, your fate is ever sealed!

Hazel Eyed Stars on the Rise

The 49er arrives with the virgin sunrise.
but the golden veins have long ago dried. 
Pick axe in hand Dynomite in his good eye.
He's the only one left of the callused kind.
Back in spring Blackjack the burro broke free 
bolting for the last watering hole
licking the salt from his reigns.

Deeper and deeper the miner burrows in.
It's all about double blind commitment now.
The poison of pride over the succulence of time-
Willowy faith over the slag of good reason-
The gristle of isolation over nectar of companionship.

At the very edge of the dimming lamp light
the black snake has tapped the vein dry. 
A dusty angel sips the last of the moonshine.
The 49er rolls two stones over two black holes
that once were hazel stars on the rise.

Long Blonde Hair and Blue-eyed

       I thought I had finally found my bride
       Gorgeous figure, long blonde hair and blue-eyed 
           Her looks, mesmerizing
           Her voice, tantalizing
        Swore she sewed, cleaned and cooked ~ pity she’d lied

Blue-Eyed Boy

Blue-eyed baby. 
Eyes as blue as the ocean. 
Hair as blonde as the sand at the shore. 
Blue-eyed baby, how you’ve changed my world.

Blue-eyed boy, how you’ve grown. 
How I love you more than all the shells in the sea. 
Shine, my beautiful blue-eyed boy, may you brighten the day of everyone you meet as you have brightened my whole world. 
My blue-eyed boy.

wild eyed pancakes
invented by grandma
two kernels of corn for eyes
delighting her grandchildren
sometimes a mistake makes the best memory

A Starry Eyed Glistening Glide

A cascade of swirls curled in the sky.
Enveloping a host of ghostly nebula galaxies,
glowing like a myriad of phosphorous flares,
sent aloft to glisten in starry, starry eyes.

The moon was off 
the scene somewhere,
humming to itself, 
the haunting mantra lilt
of a lunar lullaby, 
only it knows can put a smile, 
on its pocked blotched face.

When the big bang boom goes off,
the moon will lift its head, 
rise to awaken half-faced, and glide through
the serpentine, entwining starry veils,
along the slither slide of the milky way.

The Red Eyed Stranger El Alborotado

A.K.A El Alborotado
-----------------------------------
To support all of this emotion
to take everything in stride
to up lift to and to encourage
put all that doubt and envy aside
how can go on saying
when so many want me o fail
hold my head up and keep on stibing
hoping one day I would prevail
Keep me grooving to the music
gone darling do your thang
breakfast was so delicious
Darling you treat me like a King
about yesterday I apologize
but don't keep doing that sorta thing

Your Ole man
started hushing
stopped talking when I came around
he get up when I started sitting
acting like he didn't want me around
 his actions both subtle and overt
had an impact on everything
made me feel like ah fifth wheel
put a dark cloud on everything
got mad and started cussin
that's not a nice or respectful thing
got in the way of our performance
putting a damper on everything
now I'm ah red eyed stranger
a tear drop fell in my beer
all that cussin and fussin
is such annoyance
it put's ah damper on everything

Cross-Eyed Chickens

There's nothing funnier than a cross-eyed chicken
With legs the size of your arm
The Chicken Emporiums would sure love to know 
The name of this progressive farm

Aside from the unnerving cross-eyed feature
The implications are really immense
Imagine a leg on your plate so humongous
You wouldn't know where to commence

The cross-eyed feature might cause some concern
If the patrons viewed this poor old bird
Before it was rendered suitable for consumption
It sure looked hilariously absurd

The cross eyes were caused by trying to eject
A super sized extra large egg
Probably gave the poor brave chicken a hernia
Before passing it, for mercy it begged

Such is the way of us civilized humans
Thinking of our bellies all day
Paying no attention to these cross-eyed chickens
As they dance to the hen house ballet

hhmmmmm

cross eyed crossroads secret

Cross-eyed crossroads had a secret to keep
the crux of it was amazingly deep
Kind of confidence that makes you weep
Isn’t it lucky that cross-eyed crossroads can’t speak?

Teary Eyed

As the tears begin to fall,
I try to keep standing tall,
And pretend that I'm okay,
But my face gives me away.

My tears I no longer hold
After what I've been told,
This crying feels good to me;
It helps set my pain free.

I'm a broken man on the inside,
Getting myself together I've tried.
The pieces slip through my fingers
As my pain sits there and lingers.

My hurting inside I can't tame
For this pain you're to blame
The pain I try to hide
But I can't do it teary-eyed.

Brown eyed boy

Brown eyed boy who loves his toys ,of cardboard shiny and non 
My love for you burns yet my heart still yearns for the child this we hath gone ,My love my heart watch everything start to fall into place my love 
My heart I surrender so warm and tender my love for you I protect 
Brown eyed boy who loves his toys oh my oh my how I forget ,My love for him hath grown immensely for I have grown and expanded our history,Our love forever growing, conquering it all and waiting to fall he holds my heart on high,my love my friend from now til the end my special type of man ,If no one can do it don't just un do this call on my man for love,up above all else he loves myself my heart and soul of gold,my feelings of grief my feelings of peace he's always a phone call away ,So no matter the time no matter the place I’d choose you again every day.

red-eyed in underland

a blood-letting sun
sets as slow as an amber tear
in a shot glass

dotty is lost in oz
ruby slippers
run on a treadmill
of long summer evenings
avocados turn brown
drowned by a late light

a vein is open
watching eyes water
over a crimson gash

a gush
bleeds out
into a hoodwink
then sinks inside
a darkening cowl

an infant
wails
in a witch's
scrawny arms

none see
the birthing knife

Dainty Pea

Dainty
A black-eyed-pea,

In my heart, you are my black-eyed pea.
In my pocket, I carry one pea with me,
Rolling you around in my fingers throughout the day.

red-eyed

hot tears streamed down face 
taking the chill off winter 
red-eyed morning comes
