An observer of life You notice The small native flowers Sprouting by the roadside The skink sun baking on the rock At parties You find a group in animated conversation Hover at its edges Nod, smile Appearing to join in No keeper of small talk Watching Taking it all in Making a mental note Of snippets worth bottling A discoverer of ideas For words to come together Later In a dance Within the privacy of your own pen Silently you turn them into A melody Into poetry

The watcher
An observer of life You notice The small native flowers Sprouting by the roadside The skink sun baking on the rock At parties You find a group in animated conversation Hover at its edges Nod, smile Appearing to join in No keeper of small talk Watching Taking it all in Making a mental note Of snippets worth bottling A discoverer of ideas For words to come together Later In a dance Within the privacy of your own pen Silently you turn them into A melody Into poetry
