Lookout Poems


Always Be On the Lookout For Good But Still Able To Spot Bad

First and foremost

Always be on the lookout for the good

And seek to find the best in everyone

So long as that doesn't come at the expense

Of leaving you blind and unable to spot

The bad as well

Otherwise because they are able to

You will most definitely do for them

And at that point even you will be

To enter Sioux Lookout,
On Pelican Lake,

LOOKOUT

From the very top of a tree
I watch what grounded ones can’t see

That meandering line in the grass
The hurry-scurrying    tips of blades just stirring

You feel so a part of the sky
A breeze tickles your feet by and by

A tree upside down
Like a leafy merry-go-round

Far and wide    Earth laid flat

The Lookout Point

Oh as the great Ernest Hemmingway once said ... If you can't live without hamsters, they certainly can not live 
with you squishing it with a lemon!

This is one of the greatest sayings I have ever heard by any author...
