Just squint with one eye
Keeping one on the person
who just doesn't care
Multi-gifted William Blake
poetry&art he would never forsake
He made his collection in illuminated print
thus the reader had no need to squint
I squint at the big red sun
In a sky full of pink clouds
And wonder what it looks like
On other planets
For Russell’s Red Sun contest, 21st June
If
you
can’t
love the
one you want, just
love someone that looks
a little bit like them
and simply
squint a
little
bit
Squint and imagine
My teacher once said to me
For there may be more to see
At first it seems clear
But if then you look closely
Another layer of truth
fading into morning’s sweet fog
I have to squint to see them
the swans are unassuming, and delicate
like angels forming a perfect heart
making the pond feel like heaven
ruddy trawlers creak
as fire strummed whitecaps compose-
seagulls lock their wings
sage eyes, pursed in wry wrinkles
squint toward salt misted shards
syllables 5-7-5-7-7
Green leaf strewn rustler I,
bony skull appendage,
whose graceful trot in coppice,
casts a misty blue spell,
that orange red eyed squint,
and fawn spots, my heart-blest shroud
mosquito messiah
follows feeds swallows
such needs create
much madness
(so squint & see
the imprint it's me)
with finesse lapping
up the mess flapping
wings for the sheer
hell of it
if we let go
we can feel
the sun
kneel down and
taste the rain
if we squint
our eyes
we shall see
the August
light again
the soul
shall not die
then we emerge
in full bloom
faith is
all of that
Tragic
to know
but not
recall
What lies
within
that darkened
hall
With
every squint
and fact
unfound
Old feelings
search
through memory
— bound

Would Squint Wherever He (She) Went
Wherever he (she) went
Fine friend and benevolent
With eyes which would squint.
James Thesarious Hilarious Nefarious Horn
Unless you can think up a better name.
The sun begins to bite my skin as the sea water evaporates
The last drops of moisture on my shoulders turn to salt
I squint in the bright light that bounces off the sand
The warmth on my back and my legs
Thru cracks in the clouds
whitish sun glints
No warmth issues forth
barren rock without flint
Clouds return ash-gray
no matter I squint
despondent sun keeps away
done, today's stint
iPhone poetry:
I squint at the tiny screen
Composing Haiku
iPhone poetry:
I squint at a tiny screen.
Words compressed—Haiku!
iPhone poetry:
I squint at the tiny screen.
Compress-Squeeze the
thought.
Inside a deep casket of a dream
I hear the falls drop in soothing rhythm
natural as breathing.
I look up at a light so bright I squint
jostling me awake clutching precious gems
of nature's beauty and amazing grace.
Ornate, high-brow holiday tree
oh, what you're doing to me
I squint in awe of your bold design
so exquisite, delicate, refined...
If only you were a millimeter taller
I'd buy you for a whole half-a-dollar
I
look up.
My
eyes squint
in the bright
glare of
the
sun's rays,
and I feel
pure elation
as I watch
my kite
soar.
Sadness
dissipates,
for now
I
am set
free.

morning sun
you
dance on my windowpane
as I squint hard
to etch your smile
in my head
my body floats
light as feather
in your rain
perhaps the sting in my eyes
and clammy palms
indicate that you are so surely
real
Your tiny symbols make me squint and squall.
The eyes are getting older after all.
I'm cool enough to text.
But what do I push next?
I need a kid to show me how to call!

the actors
are much better now
the stage is set
invisible
the lighting is lit
natural
the costumes are stitched
realistic
they are
all around you
beautiful
believable
trust-able
listen closely
and
squint your eyes
to see them
or just
trust-me
On sunny days folks squint and smile
The world rejoices for a while
In come the clouds, out come our frowns
We were up before, now we’re down
Next the rains to wash away all stains
Once more refreshed, the meadow and plain
Night,
rustles,
shrill alert,
shadow drifter,
who might gaze upwards,
at an alluring moon’s,
hide and seek dark coal sky squint,
to peer between the clouds and smirk,
phantasmic star, its beam that signal,
to post wee small hours mortal on a quest
Bent wire horizon,
the day is a broken perimeter.
There is light
between the barbs
but you have to squint,
pretend the fence still holds.
People flee,
their knees are bruised
by each narrowing dawn.
The fool on the hill
blames the sun
in his eyes.
