Spotting Poems


Premium MemberSpotting a Sasquatch

It is a Sasquatch said a child who has seen several I know.
It was hairy and tall, lumbering along in the deep snow.
Moving faster than most of us who are wearing snowshoes.
Is there ever a pair? Do we ever see them in two’s?

It’s an ape, probably has run off from the zoo, I bet.
Said my

Premium MemberSpotting the Turkey Buzzards

why are vultures in the road today?
red necks are completely ugly
devouring their carrion
they give me the willies
red turkey buzzards
road kill dessert
good bye mole

as black cat 
     slowly creeps past

Premium MemberJordie Spotting

He passes through the room like a bubble in champagne, unattached, teflon coated, and somehow freer than the rest of us. “Jordies here,” Leong says in an excited whisper.

“Yeah,” I sigh, adjusting my mask, “saw him.” She smiles like a cat behind hers. Leong knows I’m crushing on Jordie and she finds it delicious information

Premium MemberSpotting Desire

Spotting desire, in as an urge
Mirroring aversion
Manifesting energy surge
Karma retribution 

Reborn time and again
Heart carrying lust stain
Ego borne bondage chain

Raging fire
Spotting desire

Spotting the Alternatives

Spotting the alternatives,
If you are not up to a spot of reading,
Could result in some serious head scratching.

Spotting the alternatives,
With no place to do some thinking,
Your sanity you could be risking.

Spotting the alternatives,
If you do too much drinking,
Makes it impossible to do any linking.

Spotting the alternatives,
Without stopping for some listening,
Will not change your positioning.

Spotting the

Spotting a Mirage

I thought mirages appeared
only in the desert heat
but today right from
my very own car seat
I spotted several, one after another
upon the paved smooth street!
Each mirage vanishing
upon our nearing
the midst of the clearing
Each pool of water shimmered
as a ray of hope glimmered
that we touch that shiny water
with my car tyre!
So we literally chased mirages
like in a

Spotting a Soldier

It is easy to spot a soldier.
Easy to choose one
out of a large crowd.
Some are obvious.
The boots, fatigues, or hat
worn eagerly by a veteran.
The regulation hair cut
also called a high and tight.
The unbreakable glasses
also know as birth control glasses
or BCG's.
Other signs are more subtle.
The way a soldier carrys himself
is very definitive.
The air of confidence he
exudes
