POEM

Blue Eyes


You know that blue

The one

In crowded June skies

Through holes: whisper-edged

And brilliant

Like a flash from an old box camera

That blue some call Eggshell.


It was that kind of blue

Hard and vulnerable as eggshells

Cracked me

Across the counter

When she glanced up

Over her coffee


And slow-blinked.

hi chance,

Yes, this is one of mine ..one of my favorites too, even two years after writing it.. (not so many poems stand that test.) It was published by Wayfarer's magazine (UK).

How did you find my new blog.?

best wishes
Mike
