Surprised Poems | Examples

surprised owls speak English

the blue haired girl has a heart for chickens said the owl.
His wife came out and said “her name is Mrs. McDowell.”
Surprised, Mrs. McDowell looked up from her chicken herd.
But the owls were silent now, refusing to say one more word.

Follow Your Dreams

Sitting on the sofa just isn't going to get it done
Chasing your dreams may just turn out to be a whole lot of fun
Your inner thoughts might just hold the keys to your future success
A person needs to get the very best life has to offer and accept nothing less
Dreams can be a foreshadowing of what your future might hold
Listen carefully to what secrets they have, they might be about to unfold
Anything is possible if you just channel your inner desires into reality
The fear of failure should not be an option, just become what you want to be
What do you want your life journey remembered for when the curtain comes down bringing it to a close 
Sometimes what we are looking for can be right under our nose
Follow your dreams wherever they may take you
You just might be pleasantly surprised that they might just come true

Surprised at ourself

When close camaraderie is no more,
accepting what is as is, we move on,
forgiving, forgetting, keeping no score,
each breath we take, ushering a new dawn,
thus detached from moments that are bygone.
To live in the now needs complete release,
having no demons we need to appease,
so poised in the void, we’re not by fears toyed,
nonchalant to outcomes, flowing with ease,
light of Christ consciousness in heart deployed.

I Won't Be Surprised

Why am I surprised 
that I can still be surprised;
for there is nothing new under the sun.
Watching life from the safety of my living room 
television screen~
Turn it off!
Let reliance
on common sense 
erase the voices 
of modern hysteria.
Why am I surprised
that I can still be surprised;
friends turn out to be backstabbers,
without remorse for the evil they've done;
the nuclear option is "on the table."
Its mushroom cloud
will envelope the world
in Mutual Assured Destruction,
and surprisingly, 
I won't be surprised!

Surprised

I don’t remember why, but the boy who lived in the house we gathered in front of 
Got his BB gun from the garage, took aim, and shot me in the arm.
We were friends.
I think it surprised us both.

Twisted Poems - No Getting Surprised

My Beautiful One

Someday
in your heart,
in case  you have similiar feelings  
about me
to what I feel about you,
and come back to me,
Remember 
I have left the door of my heart wide open
with lights on
sparkling like the stars during the night
in my own sky
so that you can easily find the way
to get in and say a new "Hi!"
But don't get surprised
when you have heard me say 
"Nice seeing you. Goodbye"
since you have given me the right
to pay back what you said to me
sitting in a park, on the bench
with the earliest currency, revenge

By the way, 
the door wide open and sparkling lights over that
are not for you 
but for other butterflies that 
flapped their wings through my heart

Mrs Potato Head

Mrs Potato Head
Mrs Potato Head's image surprised 
That can't be me it's someone else I see
I still feel young in my heart and pint-sized 
The mirror tells lies, it’s true believe me.

That can't be me it's someone else I see
She'd an idea that'd get weight shifted 
The mirror tells lies, it’s true believe me
Then cut herself to a chip, weight lifted.

She'd an idea that'd get weight shifted 
I still feel young in my heart and pint-sized 
Then cut herself to a chip, weight lifted
Mrs Potato Head's image surprised.

Surprised

Although Man very well knows

death is common to us all

seems surprised when the time comes 

to witness his mortal fall!*

A Surprised Death

A happy go lucky guy was he,   
until the "thread" of bad health set in.      
As the many years passed by,                                                                                                                        there would be times our "silence" would abound.       
We would always say I Love You on the phone,     
we wanted our "fathomless" love to be heard.
The day the phone call came in was a surprise, 
the "breathless" words said your brother is not doing well.        
I can still remember the silver "hair" shaping his face,  
his deep "dark" "green" eyes looking out into space.                             
In life some thing’s cannot be fixed,                                                    
my "heart" has been broken into a million pieces over this.                 
He is in the "beautiful" place they call heaven,                                             singing with all the "birds" and angels together.

Don'T Act Surprised

They wanna put me on the spot
But you know I'm in the parking lot
Speaking on things you don't know
I'm on the top but my lowest low
Talking down but still gotta look up
Don't want love just wanna hookup
Never been fake never been disguised
So when I come up don't act surprised

I Am More Terrified Than Surprised

Snakes are climbing in and out, 
Cobras, bull snakes, timber rattlers…
Some are at top of giant oak trees, staring at me with their slits
Laughing at my fear, sneering at my consternation. I stop breathing.
I did not realize they could climb as high as they do.

I am more terrified than surprised.
Feeling more threatened than amused.
A giant bull snake drops twelve feet, and lands squarely on my neck.
I had forgotten they were as cold-blooded as they are.
I scream my loudest, longest non-dainty scream, 
Waking the rest, who are at work, but not sleeping.

SURPRISED-Spiritual Eyes No one Sees you But Me---

If I hold you ever so closer;
I would never behold you;
Your spiritual
Intangible

If I see you with my eyes;
It's just a mirage;
Your invisible
Intangible

For only I hold you
And only I see you

SURPRISE!!!!!

As the world must open up their spiritual eyes...

Not Surprised

I am not surprised
by America's
surprisingly
old development
happening
in new developments
This is the reaction
of what happens
when black
reaches the white house
There's no more 
mass exodusse
of neighborhoods
or churches.
There's nowhere
else your hate can go
It will ooze,
and pour out and
devour wherever you go,
We shouldn't be surprised
Having seen the cornering
of this monster
attack for no apparent reason
it has been loose
for centuries
Now, we can finally
start locking
hate away and throwing
away the key,
I will forgive you
If you'd only respect me.
Love and like are too foreign
of an object
You'd touch a thing
that landed here
deep from outer space
before ever reaching
out to touch me.
I am not surprised
how this hate has grown
and consumed
an entire country.
It all began when we 
forgot how to 
recognize empathy
Your skin was once
 the color of mine
I just stood in the light 
longer
That fact
shouldn't be a surprise

Ask Her About Me and You'Ll Be Surprised

ask her about me and you'll be surprised.
she used to be mine, i used to be her man.
ask her about me and you'll be surprised.
she'll tell you i was the bad man.
that i was a monster to her loving and caring heart.
i was never a lover, i was stupid, i had nothing.
so to her love life style I DID NOT QUALIFY.

ask her about me and you'll be surprised.
man this is how it is,maybe how i should accept it.
no matter how right a man is
 to the eye of a women he is the one always wrong.
this people problems the problem.
