The Unimpressed Owl

Regally stationed on a branch
The wide eyed owl stared acute
His capable vision saw it all
But still he did not give a hoot!

Wide-eyed, hopeless, there he staggers

In his back a dozen daggers

Dying, toga turning red

You too Brutus? Caesar said

Wide-eyed splendors at night,

Metamorphosis "Beams!"

Restless sleep or waking light...

broad faced koala
like Jim Henson stitched muppet
stinky hugs clamber 
wide eyed from home in gum tree 
scared away by Aussie flames

In wide eyed wonder
my love and I watched springtime
arrive in fields of
golden daffodils stretching
to where earth meets the blue sky.

The wide-,eyed gaze of childhood
innocence,lost by adolescence
optimism destroyed,by realities of life;
experience lined in majority's grin
likeness reborn in program's kin.

Premium Member Eye Contact

wide-eyed
      a transition
to tenderness:
entangled
           lines
of transparent
         shapes
          dropped
liberated
  now
       interlaced..

    love

Now and Here

Brisk,
fast,
alert,
energetic,
strong,
wide eyed,
spirited,
expectant,
optimistic,
running,
smooth,
headlong,
into nowhere,
a pillar came,
and he crashed dead,
now and here.

Beholding a stark-naked Kiwi Prince Charles was bewildered: "What see we?” His butler replied, all blushed and wide-eyed: “Your highness, a Maori… wee-wee."

Premium Member Gifts From Naughty Santa


The weird gifts Santa placed beneath my tree
left me wide-eyed... clearly not meant for me
Sex toys wrapped in a bow
a card with, "Ho Ho Ho!"
So, that’s why he merrily shouts with glee!

Premium Member A Baby, a Child

A baby, a child, brings joy to the world   
     wide-eyed innocence, a propensity for words 

   Children take it all in, every nuance, nothing blurred
     Who dares say they should be seen, never heard

Broken Butterfly Wings

Broken Butterfly Wings
Empty playground swings
tear filled, wide-eyed
Infants sigh
a choking stolen 
silence fills my being
as my love walks away
from me
I see everything wrong
with the world
once more

Another Cup of Coffee

Another cup of coffee
to break the cobwebs of dreaming sleep
to greet the rising sun rays of the new day
to break the morning of February midwinter
to wake me wide-eyed and ready
for the tasks of life of ahead.

Daylight's End-21

Moonbeams cast their spell

'Neath their silver sheen

The owl greets daylight's end,

Wide eyed, and unseen.

Remote Viewing

Piano tuners and honeymooners

skipping to the music of the offshore ballet

sea-side sunshine coordinates the rhythm and timing

waves in motion and gulls

wide-eyed and whispering



viscerally evocative

Premium Member October Bliss

frosty crunch to grass
potpourri warming noon sun
wide eyed angel-blue skies 

pumpkins' glowing grins
kisses in tall cornfield maze
haunted house echoes with screams
