A Blind Pelican Poem by Chuy Amante
A Blind Pelican
I sat at sea and conversed with her
she taught me a lesson
this time by bird
Upon the waves out on the sea
A pelican worked clumsily
I observed and I did see
with seeing she had no ability
After clumsily attempts to eat a meal
the freshest food she did steal
on the beach, days old kill
She had no eye for dive and catch
she'd quit real soon go for
the old dry batch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I watched this anomaly of Nature
I wondered if it reflected our break-ure
What if blindly we fish for love in shallows
but settle for love that's more like tallow
What if we're feasting on the rot
no knowing what we really got
Eyes that see love pure, clearly
hearts that attract love so dearly
Love is real, love is there
Do we open our eye? A dare!
Be it, believe it create it
if you like
It will appear, at your vibe
Seek love not blindly in the rot
Seek god-like love,
it is real hot!
Be the person you do want
Or be love and flaunt, flaunt, flaunt
i see no acrostics in this one, but perhaps a few typos. despite those, i think this poem may have a message, perhaps a good one, if only i could be sure of what it is. i did think Be the person you do want has great potential if taken the right way. unfortunately i think i took it the wrong way. the cops arrested me for cross-dressing as a hottie and standing on the corner all night. great rhymes! i especially enjoyed the following stanzas.........: She had no eye for dive and catch she'd quit real soon go for the old dry batch What if we're feasting on the rot no knowing what we really got Seek love not blindly in the rot Seek god-like love, it is real hot! to MyPoemList. thanks for sharing.. gotta gooooooooooooooo! bri :)

i just looked up Richar Thripp (see first comment below) . i'm not sure i care for the guy, or his poems (only read two of them, and i'll stop there) . i did read a number of comments he made on other poems. he is very negative, which in itself is not always bad. : ( bri 'sorry' for commenting on a comment-maker rather than the poem, which i already did. bri :)
