To See Or Not To See Poem by Angela Wybrow

To See Or Not To See



If you lift your eyes from your mobile screen,
There are many cool things which may well be seen.
I've given it some thought and have compiled a list
Of random things which I think you may miss:
Like a beautiful rainbow way up high,
Or a hot air balloon floating on by;
Poppies dancing in the soft summer breeze,
Or clusters of blossom decorating the trees.
A fiery sunset, a shooting star,
A stretch limousine, an old vintage car.
A hedgehog snuffling, a dolphin leaping,
Butterflies dancing, a sly red fox creeping.
Swallows swooping far over your head;
A robin in a tree with his breast of stunning red.
A kingfisher diving for its unsuspecting prey;
The breath-taking view across a sandy bay;
A church or castle, three hundred years old;
The beauty of snowflakes when the weather turns cold.
Spring lambs frolicking in open green fields;
The rotating sails of a working windmill.
A steam locomotive with its whistle a-blowing;
A sparkling stream, full of life, ever flowing.
If you keep your eyes glued to your screen,
These things, by you, will never be seen.
