God Watches from the Corner
The docile creature is shaken awake
Noticing the success of the carnivores
They are terrible in their growling, ripping, and tearing
Blood drips from their teeth
Why are the bullies winning?
The deer has choices
She can remain true to her disposition
Or turn into a wolf and become a night monster
She waits for instruction from the recesses of dark shadows
Shadows that

Lee Watches Thrillers on TV
I rarely see a ghastly sight said Lee
Nothing grisly or gruesome except on TV
I watch homicides all day and night long
What murderers do to bodies, is usually wrong.
Why don’t you watch uplifting shows? Mama said
They don’t interest me or excite my head.
Liking the macabre seemed weird to her.
Especially since Lee used to be pacifist-pure.
I’m still

boasting about killing watches
Watches do not work on my daughter or I
The ones we wear unexpectedly die
Our body electricity is different than most
We kill watches the old lady did boast

my puppy watches me write
dog sits on couch
watching my pencil move back and forth
what is he thinking?
He stares at me with heavy black eyes
is it an accusation?
Is it a love look?
I dare not make eye contact a second time
As soon as I do he will be in this recliner
licking my ear
with his quick silver tail flipping me in the

A Mother Watches Her Daughter Stretch Her Wings
There was no stopping my daughter's quest
Like a baby blue jay leaving the nest
She would take to the neighbors with a zest
With play in her eyes, she would meet her guest
A cat, dog, and garden laying at rest
My little one reached in her Sunday

The world watches and waits
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,"
Israel's war crimes, a brutal truth..
The statistics are glaring and growing more bleak.
One thousand Gaze an children killed every week..
Fathers in anguish, mothers drown in their tears,
their babies now gone before their first year..
Every fifteen minutes a child killed in their blast,
while one in four are

wolf watches the couple
The wolf watched the couple from the safety of her well placed lair
Balmy night breeze raised up a bit, tossing up the she-woman’s hair.
The couple was pretty to watch by the light of the October moon,
They turned to go much too soon.
The wolf felt anguish as they left, remembering her mate.
Not sure where he had

King Frog Watches the Ballet
king frog came to watch her in the ballet
screamed his head off and clapped that day
the others had never seen him out of the water
the king frog was loving his tutu-wearing daughter
I did not know he had this side, many said.
He was so crazed, it was as if he was off in his head.
He is

Watching Time
** Watching Time **
From all analog to any
Digitally shown markings
Of humanity’s invented
Way to watch over Light
— passing or coming —
Time…
In less than a breath,
So, so many ways our anxious
Noting of hours may be halted:
By accidents or by
The Will of Heaven!
Remember ever seelng those once
“Must-be-shown” to the garden’s
visitors? — Those unique,
Stone, short, column-standing
Sundials,

He Watches
as she dances and she glances
beyond her shoulder
she peers
looking back
with her beautiful smile-
she poses in the mirror
in the shadows
he watches her twirl
then, he steps forward
crushing her to him
whispering her name-
as they kiss

Dragon Watches Herd Girl
Dragon keeps his eye on herder girl who cares for the sheep
He pretends to slumber, but he is in no way asleep.
The sheep are heading up the mountain, it is ungodly steep
He hears the little ones making mewing sounds; one makes a bleep

St Helen Watches Enviously
Joyful lively yellow daisies were hard at play
Not minding the wind on this spring-like Thursday
Mount Saint Helen in the distance, drab and gray
Watched enviously as the daisies danced so gay

It's Times Like These What Watches We'Re Invented For
It's time's like these
Why and what watches must have
been invented for
So we can mark the exact date in time
in order to record it
For history and prosperity for generation's
to come and so look back upon with aplomb
With heavy joyous heart
Both thankful and with gratitude
we played some small part
We were in fact there and
