"Pen a poem about eyes or choose a photo where the eyes
speak to you."


Blue diamonds shine
under bushy brows,
usually furrowed,
forehead needing
an iron.  The diamonds
may have lost some
dazzle along the way,
product of a troubled
mind.  But blue diamonds
always keep their value.

    I think the sheen is always there… even for a troubled mind.

    I like the beginning lines of your poem,
    “Blue diamonds shine
    under bushy brows,
    usually furrowed,
    forehead needing
    an iron.”
    This is a great description of a face.
