with specs on...
blurred headlines...

The moment I brush off tiny blue specs
from the pink part of my nails!...

Gender is a line that is not level
   A plumb line swinging bearing fruit

my next invention 
        said the invisible man 
          will be x-ray specs

White specs of snow fall, painting
The landscape white and frozen
For us to see its beauty,
Matched by nothing more.

What makes us humans not to remain mere specs of the cosmos is our ability to reason!

A woman out looking for sex
Bumped into a cowboy called, "Tex"
Built like a race horse
He finished the course
Before she could take off her specs...

Of books about Home Run King, Henry Aaron
  Duval, Florida school shelves are now barren

  What kind of specs are those folks wearin'
    ~ Methinks they're definitely errin'...

I had a stroke
And that's not oke
'Cause I can't rhyme
Line for line
And I can't spell....well
I lost my specs
Where the heck
Are they now....wow!
So far my new poem rhymes!...

Lois Lane
Has lost her brain.
When she sees Clark,
There is no spark.

Yet in his tights,
A spark ignites;
And, sans his specs,
She’s up for sex.

Specs of drops of light 
Shining also bright 
In front of my eyesight
 I can hardly see the night

Pleiades...

Evening skies polarized
Early end to the light
Eyes spy orb above crags
Eager pinhole cam shows
Essence, inverted page
Eureka! Welding specs!
Everyone have a look!

Twinkle white powdered Frozen dew
Specs of granulated salt sweetened
Suspended fallen crushed sugar cubes
-Frozen drops rain dots leaping

Blackest night sparkles snowflakes;
Specs flowing glowing drops of LIGHTS;
---glitter sparkles shine so bright;
Blacken dark skies so now breaks;

Shopping now is such a treat
  With a mask on, feel the heat

Within five minutes, my neck is sweaty
  My specs mist up ere I pass spaghetti

By the time that I have reached check-out
  My whole cart smells like sauerkraut...

Gave his best to them

Contented with their success

Got meaning for life

They bowed at their Guru's feet 

Tears of joy clouded his specs

The distance spec
 Falls onto the crevice 
Fills the planes and lands clear 
Translucent and frozen white accumulates 
Bizarre surroundings frozen dew
Unstoppable constant accumulation turns into blizzard

Coffee, notebook and specs
Writing madly what the heck.

Caffeine keeps eye open wide
Giving sigh my poem dies.

Scribbling with mad delight
Crazy pen's taken flight

The king was brave enough to battle the giant X
                          In a hurry and flurry he lost his golden specs
                                  So the brave king could not see
                                      The giant was wannabee
              Who charged him hundred dollars for his ophthalmic checks...

They sat in a large blue bowl all afternoon,
In tap water and stillness. 
She cleaned them that evening. 
She did not see the little cuts, not the gaping brown sores. 
She did not see the dirt specs float down the spirling drain. 
She saw perfection as it was, hard-won, with just reward. 
One bite as brilliant as the sun....

Black coffee, wake my mind
‘tis your fee, please be kind

Specs removed may help me
Thoughts improved to flow free

Tightrope muse must engage
Let’s hope I fill this page

A light stroke of the sun caresses the soft features of your face just right
As dust particles dance in the morning light 

Surrounded by a thousand molecules careening about suspended in a sunbeam
You lay motionless deep in a daydream 

The seemingly choreographed specs maneuver in perpetual bliss
As serenity sneaks chaos a kiss...

I want you,
To be a drop of water,
From those dreamy clouds
Falling apart,
Through this cold cold air,
Fastening on its path,
Dropping on my expensive specs,
Making it's way down to the frame,
Almost a minute it must take,
Before it slides on my cheeks,
It's size almost halved,
And when it ends itself evaporating,
I want you!...

my mind is a
-leaking faucet- 
completely lost it-
forgot when i had it
last- slave master
-contradiction in terms-
specs- no less- incompletes
taking turns- faking
the best- guilty conscience
-hypersensitive-
flailing about- dirty
snout- no punishment
compares- beyond repair-
greeting good intentions-
wide eyes- stoic despair...

Peonies and purfect sunsets swell as the evening thunders
Even the daffoldilles saunter as  Mrs. night dresses up her laces
Open hearts and now forgotten places within mixed up faces
Boughten borrowed lots been buried and caught just in cases
Lilacs spawn as early as that there bedded about the lawn
 Little specs ride the pond one by one...
