Nested in wisdom,
She contemplates her guidance:
Waiting to navigate.
Her large eyes, surveying life,
Visioning the divine course.

A surveying ship,
Notebooks all a’rip,
Soon in battle with Wallace, so legal.

Premium Member Aah, To Be A Cat

Cat in the window
Surveying the world
Cosy and warm
Tail all curled

Soaking up sunshine
Or watching the rain
It looks out on the street
With arrogant disdain

Premium Member If I was a Jaguar

If I was a jaguar looking for a home
weary from my long trek, and a steady roam
I would scramble up my enormous oak tree
surveying miles of prey that he could easily see

Premium Member Medicine Woman Guards Her Tribe

Medicine Woman resposes at the top of the summit
surveying her village, protecting her tribe
a brave’s job, her mother scolded her
Medicine Woman scoffs, keeping a sharp eye out

Premium Member Nov 29 1967

Surveying over her kingdom,
In silent flight on hushed wings,
With eyes that search the field for life
Her ears detect the slightest sound.
She kills her prey and tears it too-
And feeds her hungry one.

Premium Member Winter Sunshine

I sit by my window with coffee in hand

Surveying the beauty of this frosty morn.

A diamond-like sparkle covers the land.

Drab earth no longer looks forlorn.

In the winter's sunshine, it's beauty is reborn.

Manhattan Dream

While gazing down from the Rockefeller Tower
My girlfriend and I soon began to glower
While surveying Central Park we then thought
How much could we get for it if we bought
Trying to figure that out took over an hour

Premium Member Yellow Feverish Fear

He stood in his kayaker 
surveying the dark amber fog,
Creeping towards him, 
shedding saffron mist around him.
Yellow livered, he trembled 
as tawny chill descended his spine.
He peered carefully around; 
afraid he’d see a lemon shark.

Premium Member Full Belly In the Brush Pile

A full-bellied stray has been surveying the brush pile
I think she's carved out a stick hut for her litter
She'll have a ball of responsibilities very soon
Her life will thicken like storm clouds in winter
the bonfire can wait another season, or two.

Premium Member Surveying the Grapes

The bat is never satisfied, his eyes
do pierce the longest gloom of Winter’s white.
His dark decrepit cape— a purple vine.
The brood of brows and lids release no light.

In praise of older Woman

Sweet Older Woman
You should be a star
Applauding the apex
Daddy told me
to find a good woman

The remainder of beauty
images pour forth
Wisdom and a every day mentor
Shine those eyes

Exhale your knowledge
Hands on your hips
Surveying the World
you should command

A Day In the Park

He see's kids 
running
jumping
playing
but He, He sits there
still,
surveying
"This is the future"
He says to himself
As one kid goes down the slide
like a tiny little elf
"Protect this generation" He mumbles
as He leaves from under the tree
for the future is now,

Agree?

Of Life Or Limb

Smack dab in the heights 
a moment missed 
where cracks crease 
the self-destruct
unnoticed 
in the reality
that life evolves
enveloping every step
up the ladder
surveying tattered seams
costs of lovers dreams
and then you fall
or fail
to see the lessons
and what they truly mean

Owl

Owl
 
Surveying the 
surrounding landscape 
from all directions,
on top of my building perch,
I sing to you a song of the blues,
as I stand guard over you
as you sleep in your dwelling.
 
With my feathers of white,
and my green and black speckled eyes,
I sing   ...hoota, hoo, hoo
           ...hoota, hoo, hoo

Premium Member The Dead Tree

There was a buzzard who lived in a tree
Behind the medical shop, cute was he
Surveying our town
Such a funny clown
No, just dead limb the highest one you see

Two old people totally mistaken
No way this bird will eat any bacon
For it's not a bird
Just our vision blurred
Figure it out, yes, we are so shaken

Premium Member Country Justice

A man drove his car through the mountains,
Past trees, rocks and natural fountains,
When to his dismay,
Saw a man in a fray,
With a bear and was getting a poundin'.

A woman stood high on a couple,
Of rocks surveying the tussle.
He cried, Shoot the beast!
She said, Hold your peace.
The bear may save me the trouble.

A man drove his car through the mountains,
Past trees, rocks and natural fountains,
When to his dismay,
Saw a man in a fray,
With a bear and was getting a poundin'.

A woman stood high on a rock,
Surveying below her the tussle.
He cried, 'Shoot the beast!'
She said, 'Hold your peace,
The bear may save me the trouble.'

Premium Member Life Grants No Mulligans

I've wasted abundant time glancing back,
Surveying moments I might now reshape.
Muddled vision is my present day track,
From thoughts of the past I've no escape.

Dwelling on opportunities once I wasted,
Is akin to displaying an attitude of defeat.
I oft reminisce the good times tasted,
Then left to flounder craving their repeat.

A Fool Forgets His Tool

Not bringing along my tool
Has me made a Big fool:
A breaker of workers First Rule
And copyist of The Empty Mue
That should back turn to school…

So unprofessional an omission
That I be quick about its admission
But here I am rather cool,
Placidly surveying a greenish pool
While I had all deserved but a stool
And time to over spirogyra drool.
