Premium MemberOne Eyed

You are who you are
That is how it should be
Perish the thought
You might have been me

That's not possible
I say that with glee,
There is only one I
And that has to be ME

The True Story of a One-Eyed Kid

A doctor saved his eye
then he took it away
by hiding it from the boy’s face.

His hands were puppy dog tails
wagging blindly.
He played a game of Scrabble
with a Brail alphabet
as his only guide

He would enter a schoolroom 
through a hole in his mind,
peering curiously
into a strange fishbowl world.

He was a one-eyed peeper,
a tunnel stalker
walking through a

The One-Eyed King

The death knell, ringing requiem bell,
a saddening sound,
archways they pass, tears flood the mass, 
deep and deathly profound.
Of what we know, strange seeds we sow,
returning to us with a taunt
a tree of poisonous root, bares similar fruit,
wrinkled, pus filled and gaunt.
Lessons to learn for the freedom we yearn,
paid for in blood and gold,
lounge in the

Premium MemberOne Eyed Jacks and Mexican Gold

Though it's been decades 
and a million one eyed jacks ago
i still can remember them plopping down
amidst the perfume and the smack of chips
at a low stakes blackjack table..
Older lady- younger man
dressed in blue jeans and plaid shirts 
I guessed them to be mother and son
but I could be wrong.

They were quiet and pleasant
unlike the

Premium MemberOne-Eyed Alien At the Wheel

Unidentified spaceship spotted over Kansas field
   One-eyed, antenna-crowned alien at the wheel
Cows stop their grazing to glance its way
   ZAP! -- Nothing left in the field but bundles of hay

Wide-eyed farmers swallow the tobacco in their craws
   As above crows circle madly, 'midst startled caws
The ship's underside glows orange,

Premium MemberOne-Eyed Iguanas

I once met some natives from Bahamas 
Both men had the same size BIG iguanas 
I was embarrassed - to say  
I felt very SMALL - that day 
When I saw them pop out their pajamas

Premium MemberMantra For Little One Eyed Mal

Confident and ready for anything you can throw
Victory will be mine no matter how you flow
I am stronger every day, each minute a delight
I will be ready to battle you day and night.

I am marching toward you, my armour in my hand.
I am steady, bring all that you can.
I will prevail, I am a soldier

A One Eyed Jack

I have known hard times, friend,
And I've had cash to spend.
Slept on the ground a lot,
And on a rich man's cot.

I owned cows once or twice,
Lost 'em all with the dice.
Played some cards, won 'em back -
Lost to a one eyed Jack.

Fell in love with a maid
Who wore a long black braid.
She left town with

A One Eyed Golpher In a Cactus Patch

A One Eyed Golpher In A Cactus Patch

He travels beneath the sod off the spiral scene
 Feeling a bit frantic from the chase he gasps for air
 Only to shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
 Searching for bread a warm place to lay his head
 Out comes the cactus patch to

I Fell In Love With a One Eyed Minion

You read the title correctly,
I realize that everyone's entitled to their own opinion
But, please read the entire story before you decide
Yes, I fell in love with a one eyed Minion

Like most of you I really enjoyed Despicable Me
and in it there was this one little guy
a bit shorter in stature, hair parted in the middle
Deep

One-Eyed Muse

She was just a phantom gleam
 In the shadow of the light
 As old as the oldest dream
 On a cold and tranquil night

 As fluid as mythic love
 As palpable as fright
 Trembling in awe
 In the grasp of delight

 As sad as a memoir
 On an empty page
 As lonely as a widow

Tumbleweed Billy and One Eyed Sam

Tumbleweed Billy And One Eyed Sam

Banked off jagged hills, pushed on by memory
Cause and effect took turns churning the sidewinders
Tumbleweed Billy and One Eyed Sam (The patron Saint of snake eyes)
Dragged down from on high by a freak flood

Through swollen gorges flushed with raging waters
From melted mountain snow with a long way to go
Two cowpokes

One Eyed King Battles


I fought the bright sky, heaven and stormy sea
so quick to fight any that would dare fight me
Asking for love and life, so very little more
a master views a vast ocean from a safe shore!

Trumpets sounded a call to battle the light
so blind to hate my soul always was to fight
No thoughts

Oso, the One-Eyed Wino

Oso the One-eyed Wino

By Gary L Thomas

...has a doubly unique perspective on this
Flat world. The depth that passes as distance
From an objective makes him subject to
Prevarications, half-truths and subtle innuendos
And makes him the lone wolf of the bear-den.
Burdened with this yoke and joke of butts his one
Eye tears more than any other.
Being a-lone visionary and
