Watched

Neville

Watched

 

He watched her from

his balcony

towel drying her hair

and later

while having breakfast

opposite ..

He had hoped to catch

her applying

sun oil before the sun

rose too

high and it got too hot

to handle

his 8x42’s or hold them

still enough

to see clearly through

the heat haze

and her wicked shimmer ..

    Voyeuristic longing amplified! And bettering one’s equipment indicates that even the most dedicated observers need the right tools to truly appreciate the finer details.

                  The beauty of a woman is a powerful attraction. So powerful, that we are tempted to watch even in-appropriately. Your poem tells of this attraction in a devilish but delightful way. - Phil A.

                        Ornithologists should always obtain the best equipment they can afford. Twitching is big in Australia where sightings of rare species can cause massive attention...

                        • Neville



                          its the same everywhere .. and of course when it comes to twitching .. size sure does matter .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                          Those distant images are worth while enhancing Neville.
