Shades of Eyes

Written for:  dVerse Poets Pub - Eyeing The Quadrille #147
(posted by Bjorn)

"So today for you, you are to write a Quadrille, 44 words which have to include the word eye in the main body of the poem."


Four people in my family–
different color eyes.  My mom’s
were a sensuous shade
of clear green, like tropical
waters.  My dad’s eyes
twinkled brown, and my sister’s
are deep brown, chocolate, her
favorite flavor.  My eyes 
are blue like the ocean I love.

  2. Is this true? Who has the blue eyes in your family? My daughter has greenish eyes. Those I have heard are the most rare.
