‘Beware the Ides of March.‘
(Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2)
a week from Saturday is the Ides of March
perhaps I will stay home by myself
better keep an eye on the dogs though
they might have heard of Julius
and get some strange ideas
If I ask you ...
“How Does A Watch Work”
And you say ...
“Keep An Eye On The Time”
The anecdote preying
answer naysaying
Pathway to reason
— unrhymed
(Dreamsleep: January, 2025)
I'm a traveller
Always on the road
With my mind far away from home
But for her, I'll be more grounded
Cause being on the road is fun at first
Till it gets lonely
And when you are up in the night skies
All you think of is what if you had the one
I'd want to land and make a nest
And stay close to guard it
Fly off from home at dawn
And be back before dusk
I'd want to have eggs by the nest
With someone to keep an eye on them
So that when the eggs hatch
They'll have someone by their side
I know I'm a traveller
And there'll always be the thirst for the skies
But with her, I'll forego the skies
Cause she'll be my universe

Happy Father's Day to you and David
I can't even tell you in words
How I miss you all
I hope everyone in the family is doing great
I guess one great thing about Heaven
I see all of our great family members every day
This Father's Day I just wanted to send
You a card to tell you everything is great here
I have to say in Heaven I get to see
How much Mikey and Abby are growing up so fast
Please don't cry dad,
I love you so much
God always tells me to keep an eye on you guys
When you find a ladybug in the house
You will always know it's me
When you hear those strange noises upstairs
You will know I'm here checking out my old bedroom
So Dad tell everyone, I will be with you guys always
Well I have to go now,we are having lunch with
Roy, Rita, Dolores, Daniel, Uncle Mike, George and Aunt Connie
It's kind of an Olympic restaurant up here
So for now Happy Father's Day
Love you always
BING DANG
SUMMER FLOWER
I am relentless, a true survivor
Pushing up across every green lawn
Unashamed, just like Lady Godiva
But a commoner, no affected yawn
From that famous seed head, I am born
Then to bright yellow, in all my glory
My salad leaves tell a different story
Yet I am something to keep an eye on
Despite comments so defamatory
Don’t pity me, I’m a dandelion
KINGFISHER
Me the Kingfisher :
Nice looking, smart
Brightly coloured bird.
I own long bill with special skill
to catch floating fish.
My sharp keen eye sight
helps to keep an eye on river or sea.
I won't spare for fry too.
I am quite expert on kinetic art to dive.
Kudos in swooping down,
but not to get drowned.
I can swim and crack open crustaceans.
So ! Only fishes are not my preys !
For meal other water creatures,
I taste at best.

I was just a child,
enraged by my inaptitude to act
I dashed home,
surprised,
my eyes wide open
trying to retain the tears at bay,
fists clenched
palms are pierced by nails,
lungs contract, begging for breath...
I couldn't keep an eye on him.
He was
a dark furred man-bear
with forlorn, teary eyes,
waltzing to the beat of a drum.
In his irises, I saw
the lushness of wetlands,
cherries and wild fruits
the vastness of the mountains
as well as the nectar of icy streams,
and honey-laden trees.
With a chain around his neck,
standing tall on his back legs
all
he was pleading for
was
freedom.
It is just a tiny Mosquito.
Must keep an eye on those.
They carry Deadly Diseases.
Inside of their Hypo nose.
The world's most lethal Creature.
Thus, sadly many are Exposed.

Bhagat singh na koi parda raha na chaar dewari,,
Kyun na ham bhi bikini mein ghomain phirain????
stealthy Aunt Caren
a text from favorite niece
cat sharpening claws
with nail file
keep an eye on Mom
not to worry dear
she is in my sights
unaware of course
Sporadically, language falls short of the lasting mark
To instantly share awe-inspiring testimonies and remark
Appalling atrocities of war and unfathomed sorrow
Millions of people are on the hunt for a wheel-barrow
This loaded backpack was previously packed for a trip
It is, however, currently being utilized as an escape tip
Their humble lodging is becoming increasingly narrow
We pray they will be clung to unite like a bow and arrow
They're laboriously dragging their burden along the street
It is extremely beneficial to deliver water and buckwheat
For their active life, they will keep an eye on the sparrow
And won't utterly work behind the plow and harrow

Why does she keep her lunch in her bike spokes?
She keeps them there, because they are tasty blokes.
They are fresher there, and easy to keep an eye on.
But what if they escape? Asked the eager python.
Hamba Kahle my dear friend.
I wish we had more time,
To use the wind and sail,
Across the seven seas.
Or spread our wings and fly,
Explore all our beautiful dreams.
But God knows why.
And when it is our time.
So please be my guide,
As you step into the light.
Keep an eye on me.
I know I will feel,
Your presence near,
When the wind plays with my hair.
Goodbye, I promise not to cry.
Standing at the fence row on the far side of the meadow
I am fascinated by the movement of an encroaching shadow
Changing forms, reminding me of the fictional shapeshifter
On the other side of the meadow lurks a slovenly-clad drifter
I do not know him, but he does not live in my neighborhood
So, I keep an eye on him as he slips down into the near wood
The flowers are gone, and the tall grasses are drooping badly
Awaiting coming blasts from the north, I think, not so gladly
When they will slink beneath the snowy white lacy blankets
To await the coming of spring; for now they wait, no regrets
And I mosey on to get my last look at the autumn color fading
Most of the leaves have fallen and the shadows are cascading
