the yellowstone grand canyon -
this fat black raven...

midnight piercing eyes
the owl keeps hungry lookout
tiny mice tremble

There once was a Peruvian llama
Whose owner shipped him to Alabama
  Horns blaring, lights flashing
  Folks screaming, cars crashing
All points lookout ~ one llama in trauma...

A Trumpetfish's sneaky subterfuge

Scared prey's wary lookout,
is foiled by trumpetfish,
hitchhiking a sneaky ride.
onboard a friendly parrotfish.

Optimism or pessimism 

the outlook is so bright ~ I’ll never lookout again 



Pessimism or optimism 

the outlook is so dark ~ I’ll never see it coming

Yellow Sun Rises

Yellow Sun Rises
Bright illumination shines
Cobalt blue clouds part

Crows caw greeting from lookout
Doves coo good day in response...

If I die, put me in a red balloon.
let me float up into heaven
straight from your hands, Daddy.

The Daddy climbed Kaneohe lookout
His son’s favorite spot in Hawaii
And watched his ashes float toward God...

The distant mountain is ablaze
Sun    rain    clouds blend majesty

From my perch on the lookout hill
All land between is ocean

Clouds    like white waves    obscure the Earth
I bathe in that transcendence...

A Kiss of sunshine
on the four to eight 
forward lookout watch
beginning with dark skies
ending in day light

sunrise at sea
is breathtaking
after this work
I'm here again

This is great
Open sea
Peace at last

A kiss
Sunshine

Here, up off its rushed at fright
The will of the world's, blows
Hid in this tree's strong-armed height.
Safe, in what each bird knows.

Above all things, Home, its lookout.
Anxious-free, returned to
Again; choicest to chirp about.
And again. Peace. True!...

Sentinel Pinus never-ending guard


Hovering fog above mirrored fish pond 


albeit wry through the years passed beyond


he stands lookout on deck  for his reward



                    Weary years have gone by,  but still proud to serve his master

I witnessed a crime.
The 
suspect was a 
young girl

Be On  The Lookout-

-She wore a rasberry beret
the sort of thing you find in a second hand store

-She was a brown eyed girl with a wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk

I swear to god she had kaleidescope eyes....

From within your heart and soul your beauty shines out,
Beaming as a beacon of love to spectators beyond!
A simple smile to a stranger may form a bond,
So as you walk the world today, lend your hand and keep lookout

Days end paints purple facets 
A single star comes to show
The slivered moon  
Clouds dancing 
Sit atop lookout road
Forging onward with pen and paper
A poets dream 
Where words transcend
once again a warm breeze touches
Wild grass 
At roads end

Lone lookout
Guardian and protector
Peggy’s Cove
Raging storm brewing
Lighthouse distress signals
Late for dinner
His chair sitting ominously empty

Objurgatory crow lookout
Cawing to obdurate friends
Telling them to flee fall garden
Opossum grins by Persimmon
Because berries gone as are figs
Every animal has eaten fill
Ready now for winter's rest

Excitedly written for:
"Fall Is Around The Corner"

Some folks thirst for knowledge;
Others seek release.
There are leaders on the lookout
For a path to peace.

Some folks crave the limelight;
Some reach for the stars.
Others try to bridge the gap
From Venus straight to Mars.

Metaphors don’t move me,
So when I think of thirst,
An ice-cold frothy-headed beer
Is what I think of first!...

Walking down a mountain trail

barely there and ever fading

absorbing nature's beauty

far ahead I see a sign

"Oh good"' I think

"It'll tell me where I'm going,

and how far to the next lookout

or waterfall."

When I get there

I see no sign

but I wonder,

Was that a sign?

Then a bird begins to sing

like I've never heard before....

When driving, we use WAZE, which is
A talking GPS.
It finds the quickest routes and thus
Eliminates some stress.

At times, it issues warnings
Like an "obstacle on road,"
So we'll both be on the lookout
To avoid our being towed.

But it took a while to realize 
That an "animal ahead"
Won't leap out to cause some damage;
It's already stone cold dead!...
