Black Body Eyes

All we see in sight.
Photons of light.
Reflected from our eyes.
Varying in size.
With the exception of a flash,
when the light of the camera on the retina, clash.
The pupil looks black because it traps light inside.
Just like black holes that trap light in gravity,
could we be said to have black body eyes?

Author notes

info on black bodies and the human pupil found in book
"Light Science; Physics and the Visual Arts" by Thomas D. Rossing and Christopher J. Chiaverina

option 4 for the contest, the poem is about the pupil, so I hope this fits.

    you are my favorite "universe" philosopher...
    you merge the vastness of space with the heart of a poet.
    Amazing entry. Love, Lane

    Nice, Very well done,you fit so much in a small amount of writing, its very descriptive. You used rhyme, but not kid rhyme, which i really liked because; a lot of rhyme poems i read are based on it rhyming and to me at least in this piece the rhyme brought out what you were speaking about and added to the description and the flow; very well worded and put together. Very well done and good luck!!!

    This is a perfect example of "less is more." Though you didn't write all that much in this piece so much was said in between the lines and it was extremely emotional. This was so very deep ... and I REALLY enjoyed it!

    ~note to self: send Haley a book that is purely imagination, maybe something magical or horror that she would be able to write on things that I CAN relate to~

    Good

    The eye is an amazing organ. We don't appreciate until something happens.
