Sea of Beauty ~Tetractys

Eyes
Sparkle
And Glisten
Swimming with love
Gazing upon me, without prejudice
Or indifference that reflected from me
Lovely they are
Warm and true
Lovers
Eyes

    This is a lovely form, one I'm going to have to try myself. You've done a very nice job with the flow and imagery, which can truly be tricky with strict syllable forms. I really like how you've captured the moment in this short form!

      Please do and let me know. I would love to see it. I thought this form was cool to write with a small blurb to begin and a blurb to end. I only did 2 of these. and I brought this one back out. All and all lol!! thanks ~ Mykeee

    Lovely poem.
    I love the fact that you just introduced me to a new form of poetry, or at least to me is a new form because i've never heard of it.

    This poem reminds me of something that my boyfriend would write and because of that it makes me love it more.

    I love the imagery that is used.

    Incredible write <3
    Thank you for entering.
