Short Eavesdrops Poems

Unique
Like dogs
Totem 
Of owl
Sees through the veil of psychic darkness
And eavesdrops upon the silent moon...

Invited, she waits with hands on doorknob,
hears her boyfriend talk inside, she eavesdrops.
She rues not being clever,
for her party is over,
for she knows he is a deceiving snob.

Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs....

As Midnight plays his haunting tunes,
The music drifting on the breeze,
The woodland creatures come to hear,
The moon eavesdrops behind the trees.

The magic fills the moonlit woods,
And tiny sprites and fairies dance.
He plays until the break of day,
When Sunrise joins in with her chants.

A young girl eavesdrops
On her parents one day
And found out that
They were the head 
Of the mafia and plans
To have her killed 
Dispose of her body in
Back of the cemetery
Behind rose hill
So, she runs to 
A friend's house
Shaking with fear
Crying and regretting
What she had heard
about her parents
What she didn't know was
That they made the whole thing up
To teach her a lesson
About eavesdropping...

She sits on the park bench
a flock of pigeons carrying her memories away.
An unleashed dog sat with her a while
Left to chase a squirrel
The well-dressed pass her by
As if she wasn’t there.
A child in a carriage
Gives her a “queenly” wave,
She listens,
Eavesdrops
As Fall whispers
Scattered secrets
To fallen leaves.

She sits, alone but not lonely
For she knows who she is
Rejoices in what was
Awaits
What is to come....
