Can't you see, what's right in front of you
Or do I have to slap you, with a wet mackerel.
Can you close your eyes, and see in your mind
All the truth you left beind, to chase your pretty lies.

You're standing there, a wide eyed wonder
Do you feel alone, in the middle of that crowd
Is you vision finally fixed, on that which you desire
Is your wish your true want, or do you settle for seeming best.

I see your gaze, fall upon the floor
Short sighted as you are, it fails to meet my shoes
Nor even yours, your clean black loafers, showing wear.
You look up, and our eyes meet.

sudden idea - pastiche anyone?
Couplets only. Guess the poet parodied (poem if possible).
No ideas as of yet.

I was angry with my eye:
I put it out, my wrath did die.
I was angry with my foe:
I put his out, my wrath did grow.

That's good muesli.
It's William Blake's "A Poison Tree"

But you should really start a new thread.
