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
