Eyes of Blue
her eyes looking through me
as if she sees my soul
and maybe she does
and that is okay
she already has my soul
in her eyes of blue

Is it in the Eyes? – National Poetry Month April 29 2020
Today, let’s write a poem with the theme of “eye” – it could be the eye of the storm – the eyes have it – keeping an eye out – the eye of a needle – so many ways we can talk about eyes. What’s your eye on for this one? And to get in the mood, how about this lovely song by Willie Nelson:
Violets of the Sea
Violets of the Sea
As the world is changing
vast bodies of water flow and engage
both to the shores and to the depths
lapping below the surface dolphins swim
Would there be a flow of blue chargers
lazing while the far away stingrays glide
diving inward outward to the flow or tidal waves
landing where the souls incline to cry
Red oh red the sea is raging
sending foam of sediment and carcasses
when the sting of operations takes hold
running dare appendages be found
Landing on the banks with safety found
sand within without these crevices
itching and dare not to stand without the call
as the venture into the seas calls me in
Tushes find a place in rushing waters
once again the sea calls out come in
violets come forth from labored creatures
sea gardens of life will rise again
This poem is in response to my Daily Prompt
What’s Your Interpretation? National Poetry Month April 28 2020
Let’s try an ekphrastic poem today. What does this photo represent for you? I can’t wait to read your interpretations.
Schedule Me Some Relaxation
Schedule Me Some Relaxation
People all across the nation
talk about their relaxation
catching up on TV shows
baking cookies and eating dough
Netflix Disney all the rage
when I find time I turn the page
but that is usually when
it’s time to sleep and sleeping wins
Now make no mistaking this
I find the time for walking bliss
but when it comes to relaxing
my day’s are full of many things
Nonetheless this lesson’s true
always take some time for you
even if it’s helping other souls
being good to yourself is an important goal
Today’s Prompt was to write a relaxation poem. Hope I did it justice!
