One Eyed Poems | Examples

One 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 tubular world.

When the patch came off
reality took on the shape
of a prison warden.

One eye had to work hard,
the other got a life-sentence
reduced to time already served
as the cell-mate of a cyclops.

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 chateau covered with shadow,
and wait for the truth to unfold.
For we all have plight it doesn't make it right,
to wallow, fester and judge,
waste deep in sewage when the torrent deluge,
rushes in thicker than sludge.
Clumped altogether for worse or better,
seeking the price of the unknown,
soaring in flight then catching the sight,
of the one-eyed King on the throne.

One 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 rest of us.
Depending upon the ebb and flow of the game
they would slide 5$ chips 
back and forth to one another..
always betting the minimum.
They didn't play for very long
they drained their drinks then quietly left.
For a short while afterwards 
there was still a hint of Mexican gold 
or perhaps bull thistle in the air...
i like to think they broke even.

One-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, white and blue
   The President's skin turn greens when it come into view

The pics now go viral, the USA's on high alert
   While out in the field, farmers cower in the dirt
Then just as the aliens emerge from their ship
   My plane lands-- I wake up: It's the end of my trip

One-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

Mantra 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 through and through.
I could never be broken, or made to bow by you.

Bring it; I am a survivor, ready for battle.
I am a warrior woman, not easy to rattle.
Confident and ready for anything you can throw
Victory will be mine no matter how you flow.

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 my gold -
Left me here to get old.

Here I sit in this town -
Gave it up and sat down.
I like it here, I think,
Pipe to smoke, jar to drink.

What more could one soul want?
Could be a place to haunt.
Just lie here on my back -
Think of that one eyed Jack.

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 claim it's latest victim
 Blackened walls that squeeze it's head so often will bleed
 A one eyed golpher in a cactus patch
 Outside with the coyote's howl their fever pitched scene
 One lone golpher searches for grass but that never lasts
 There's a battle brewing with mother nature's storm now brewing
 There it appeared this strange cactus patch out of no where
 Running head long it collides with the needles formation
 May need of some rest on a long awaited vacation
 While scrambling for morsels of bread on the ground
 Ouch !
 You could be a try polite to one famed golpher who is out of sight
 Let's learn a lesson all strangers here I preach
 Where to lay your head may seem so out of reach

One-Eyed Goat

eating gran's flowers

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
 Dancing in the rain

 She returned like a song
 In the memory of the dead
 Repeating like a nagging voice
 Inside a madman's head

 And as moist as the dullest thought
 In a melting brain
 She dribbled like a lunatic
 Muttering in pain

One Eyed King Battles

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 of why ever bounced into my mind
a one eyed king within a world of the blind!

Now the fight is to never return to the dark
memories of great battles so evil and stark
No call will I ever take to end my new quest
victory calls for courage, truth is the best!

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 trusting not
The paths that other men may take
He beats a path to the burning bush
To gain the insight of all the ages and
Finds that kisses really are a better fate than wisdom
And a bear's-hug is superior to brilliance of thought...
And beast-sex is better than the honey-laced love of Poets.

Plopping On One-Eyed Frass

is there such a thing as one-eyed fr.ass?!

Huh.

Maybe, maybe not 

ha. Do (doo? does?) frass even have eyes. I think not!

Sure looks pretty though...

if I were given the chance to choose what my poop looks like,
I'd choose frass!

One Eyed Purple Rage

Normal, just an ordinary man
But when anger hit him think again
He turned into this vicious pain
Turning purple with anger__boggieman 

His eyes would come together
Until they became one
Right above a horn would sprout
He'd scream, shout become undone

Then it would be over, changed
He would normal, an ordinary man
Back and forth between the one-eyed
One-horned purple with rage


To joyous man who played
But he was one wild son of a gun
When turning again into
The "One-eyed One-Horned Purple-People Eater"
