Son of Eros, where are you?
I feel I've been overlooked
Arrows speeding all around
Never one for me

Overlooked Tradition

Deprived pilgrim wives ruminated
On ways to get hubbies elated:
After Thanksgiving chow
Ogling men hollered “wow!”
As wet-shirted women they rated.

I'm seeing into the future
I'm that ugly duckling that gets overlooked
One day I'll surprise everyone

Premium Member Judgmental eye

Your hesitancy
is observed yet overlooked,
since love in your heart’s not bloomed.

Perhaps it’s a test,
as of our soul agreement,
which we merely here enact?

Appearance Only

Appearance only 
Seems to matter 
Outer aspects 
Are placed at 
Greater value 
By society 
Internal aspects 
Are overlooked 
And ignored by 
Society as a whole

Premium Member He Became the Man She Saw

He had lots of faults
She loved him with her full heart
Overlooked them all
This surprised and amazed him
He rapidly changed
Becoming the man she saw
Stepping into his best self

Premium Member older is not always wiser

older is not always wiser
a saying proven wrong many times
I have met many wise children
they recognize the power of love
whereas dementia is often overlooked in elders who were never wise
age

Out of Reach

Somewhere in Time 
hidden in rhyme
I seek the love I once known

Beyond my reach
under a foreign beach
I found a love that had come and gone

Back again
a forgotten friend
overlooked and withdrawn

Circle of Experience

Sky tears fill a calm heart with memories

Crystal clear images ripple on the lake 

Sentiments condense along the river of time

Overlooked and left behind—

Still, 
finding their way back to the sea.

in verdant grasslands
rusted trucks rest, overlooked~

   Peanut butter, Jack’s favorite cuisine
   ‘Til he ate a sandwich that turned him green
      Jack overlooked one thing
      That gave his sandwich ‘zing’
   Pea was spelled ‘Pee’ ~ smelled like a latrine

Queen

Day after day,
The pawn keeps on moving
Surrounded by the real action
Unnoticed, but still progressing
For though so easily overlooked
The pawn slugs on
And soon enough
The pawn is no longer a pawn

…But a queen

Conditioning

Is what we all

Carry along with us..

All of those boundaries

And attitudes toward

What confines and frees..

Then to discover..or not

That Freedom is overlooked

In our life as lived...

Noble Foot

‘Oft overlooked is the noble foot.
But please let me in, my 2 cents, put.
For, granted, it is so often, took.
Homely and crooked, though it may look,
still gets you there, that most noble foot.

Premium Member Apple

As crisp or tart, she favors my cookbooks

Perfect dessert whether October or June

Pumpkin's cousin, come autumn is overlooked

Luckily, any month, week or afternoon

Every season, the sweet apple fills my spoon

Watch Out For the Bus Gus

Watch out for the bus, Gus.

Attention all drivers of a bus,
We have important safety matters to discuss.

This week watch out for those on foot,
They can not be overlooked.

Stay observant and alert,
And no one will get hurt.

Astronaut

When dawns your own world, when
From another's blank horizon
Rises your brother's habitation
Can it be overlooked then?

Stretching with the sympathies
Out from coldness of craters
Approached are the Maker's
Fixed sensibilities.

Wounding Words

words that pierce like a sharpened edge
the pen has no regret
old pain incessant we must dredge
if not forgive, forget?

but the power of a simple verse
overlooked by the creator
has made the past in present worse
and lesser pain now greater
Form: Quatrain

Invisible

To the forgotten
your work is silence
your contributions unnoticed
You are seen everyday
but you are invisible
passing through the world
most of it does not know you
Many don't realize your worth
you go through each day
being overlooked
