The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)

Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku

"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.

*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Carpe Diem #105 -- EYES


EYES



When I look at you
I see the love that we share
When you look at me

~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Eyes can be windows
Peering into someone's soul
They can be mirrors

~  ~

Eyes can be weapons
Piercing like spears; or caress
With a velvet touch

~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Eyes can be faucets
Giving release to sorrow
Water for the dead

~  ~

Great grandmother's eyes
They once sparkled with her love
Now closed forever

~  ~  ~  ~  ~

    Unfortunately, I am well acquainted with eyes as weapons!

    What a wonderful set. 'They can also be mirrors' - how true.
    Thank you :)

    I was reminded of how my mother would send 'darts' across the room with her eyes, and I heard her clearly!

    These are each a little gem throwing light on the wonderful gift we call our eyes! I laughed when I got to the piercing verse, having just come from Lolly's place where she referred to that look as the 'stinkeye' known to all misbehaving children!! Thanks for sharing!!

This is a fun blog. Light-hearted banter is welcome. Snark is not. If you want to fight, find my other blog.

Play nice, and we'll all have fun.

I like to return visit, when I can - but I need to find you. If you have multiple blogs, please leave a direct link to the appropriate post.

Cheers!
