Premium Member My poppa's prank
I'd sit on his lap, content as can be, until he'd slide those dentures out and giggle with glee.. My two year old self would reach out to grab, he'd suck them back in before I could nab.. With time as I began to age his talented teeth ceased to amaze. No longer two and as wide-eyed, I'd yell "stupid Poppa" and from his lap...

Premium Member Wide Eyed Saunter Part Two
There’s a burning yen nomadic deep within entrenched, to absorb fresh environments ambrosial on foot, where incidental hue or august colour wash abound, or that March bloom tantalising shady patch, with its dreamlike mystic wide-flung allure, some blue pigment dawn whisper tempting spur on, that hidden orange-red sunlit prompt I can’t curb, I follow blindly without oppugning brier cloak pitfalls, yet noonday mishap...

There is an urge within me to wander randomly, to explore in vivid detail each kaleidoscope, incidental hue or pristine colour I encounter, or just as likely that tantalising shady patch, with its dreamlike mystical allure so faraway, this blue pigment dawn whisper as tempting spur on, that hidden orange-red sunlit prompt I can’t curb despite myself, I follow blindly without...

I look for you in the stars, and in the streets, and all the people I greet. I look for you in books of poetry. Such a place to find, yet unaware that I'm lost, like a button. Arrive home from work to flip through pages of a book I knew as a child, yet still not remember the reason, so special then. It...

Premium Member Wide Eyed Cat Girl
Wide eyed cat girl had a glow and a glimpse We steered clear of her of course, as we are imps She had the crazy look of one of those chimps You see in the circus who walk with butts out like gimps. Wide eyed cat girl had a look that said leave me alone. She did not answer to...

Wide Eyed
I have come to be real-in-my-eyes, eyes that only half see, yet only the half blind may see themselves. The fine hairs of apperception, those metaphorical hat brims pulled low over smiling eyes hide nothing from deeper insights. In the moment of looking I see only that looking, yet that view is broad, rimless encompasses all the mind can develop of reality. Perception in its narrow lens, its...

There are some things in life That we never forget Buried deep down in our soul Our very first kiss Our first two wheel bike The very first cookie we stole Nothing quite compares To a lifetime of memories A treasure trove to cherish forever Our sixty-five Chevy With a 350 engine Feelings never equaled ever Nostalgic these memories When the world was new Our life was just waiting...

Windy, the Wide-Eyed Nymph
As I walked into the serene woods one day, I met Windy, the wide-eyed nymph, resting against a weeping willow tree, her eyes were half closed as she looked at me. In her arms she held a colorful urn with an eye, It was winking at me and I sensed it was alive, Windy said it was her protection from evil, passed...

Between my ears the visions whirl Without a care they hurl and twirl Bouncing off walls as they unfurl I sometimes remember a gal named Beryl And how her long blond hair would curl Sweet as sweet could be a pearl Became a mother when she was barely just a girl I imagined how that would...

Wide Eyed Smiles
Wide Eyed Smiles Children falling through the atmosphere Dropped by storks or other forces way out there Seem to always have wide eyes and smiles Dropping in from many baby making miles They are beaming with expectations For birthday presents at their new locations And obviously, a safe landing site would be nice Since they have no experience at flight Though not...
