Observation Poems - Poems about Observation

vicariously through my mind
volatile observation suspended amidst reality and fiction, subdued voice echoes down a hallway of convictions; like a despotic fog blurring options for a swarm of insects who eventually finds way to a lizard's grotesque carcass. a feeling, in my gravel ribs, this might be a dead end staring up at the sky, an atheist's hollow vision; air and venom flowing...

Old Before New
Every day once a while I could see the construction of a new building going by, It proceeds slow enough to make some innocent birds mistake it for an abandoned shelter; They have begun building their refuge on its dusty window sills, lovingly nurturing it to become permanent, giving their everything....

Premium Member My Observation Notes
We seek wakefulness. What does Barbados mean to me? It’s the hot sun, broad-brimmed hats, and old khaki pants. It's robust men with warm, undertone skin that blends with the cultivated land. We seek constant reassurance from those we love—that they will be there for us in both good times and bad, just to feel...

Premium Member PAY ATTENTION
I pay attention. I see the sadness in a young schoolgirl’s eyes When she has been cruelly ridiculed and ostracized. For what? She doesn’t look the same As others; too tall, too fat, too blonde. Does she have the wrong last name? I pay attention. I see the old woman setting alone on her sunny porch Accompanied by lush green plants silently...
