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

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

Wide Eyed Saunter

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

Wide eyed reader

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

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

Wide-Eyed and Eager

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

Wide-Eyed Children

mother star beams as she beholds her errant brood
  six diverse, rocky planets
  the innermost, a dense, two-faced, frosty furnace
  the outermost, pulverised
  much interfered with by a jovial neighbour
  a dust, angry red one
  ragged, rift-valley scar, an enormous pimple
  the atmosphere diminished
  the bright but

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

O Wide-Eyed Baby Browns

O wide-eyed baby browns
pink lips curl, produce sucking sound
mother loosens her blouse, instinct
she rubs his ruddy cheek
he drinks deeply as her heart leaps

Wide-Eyed

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

A Wide-Eyed Child

a wide-eyed child
leaps into a woman’s arms –
a butterfly lands

Wide Eyed Dreaming

I'm a wide eyed open dreamer
Who's not tethered to a bed.
While others remain sleepinig
I just live my dreams instead

I'm all about adventure
I live life like it's a ride
My heart is fully open
Not a thing I wish to hide

In my dream are people
Who've been gifted to me
When it comes to dreaming
I'm where I wish to be

I
