PINE NEEDLES HIS HAIR

you can’t see you but he can

if you’ve got a speck of blue

on the screen in front of you

you can’t see him but he can

see you, you see he’s the man

with the tree stuck on his head

you can’t see you but he can

see you looking at him through

a pair of binoculars

you can’t see him but he can

see you, he’s looking in the

mirror that I’m holding up

you can’t see you but he can

he’s the man that took the snap

of me standing in the cold

you can’t see him but he can

see you, you see he’s the man

that painted the lawn bright white

you can’t see you but he can

see you looking up at me

I can’t see you through this glass

you can’t see him but he can

see you, see me, standing there

while he pine needles his hair

  1. Loved it! :-)
    Now, it isn't that I've had enough of them whotsits; simply that I'm rubbish at any formula poetry.
    I DO enjoy reading them. And may they live long.
    They remind me of Fred Elliott. I say, they remind me of ... ;-)

  9. Hi Jeeves, thanks for the info on the code showing in the post. It sometimes happens on certain browers, I use Mozilla Firefox and everything looks sweet. However I went over to Internet Explorer and corrected it there, so hopefully the problem is solved for now. We have a different publishing issue on the NaisaiKu site which we are still trying to resolve. Flump!

  23. "While he pine needles his hair" I love this line and how you turned needles into a verb.

    The repetitions work so well!

    Hi Linda, I can think of plenty of things to do with needles...
