what amazement i found
in the fascination all
five of them had with
sapphires. blue and silver
grey with tarnished afterthoughts
and beginnings. i looked
deep then, wondering if
they created some ripple effect,
calling one another up saying: "tell her this"
i could have never
supposed how
genuine he
was, touching
irises of fire
with his whispers.

What men say about your eyes? Hmm. Well that wasn't the prompt but it does fit my contest, so whatever
I really like how vague and yet full of good description this is. especially the tell her this line, I think that's like the highlight of this poem. Very nicely done. Thanks for your entry.

"i could have never

this is beautiful,
it made me want to dance and hear beautiful things about my eyes.
but all i ever hear,
is that they are bronze,
and wide.

LOL your author's notes made me laugh. I mean- it just really went with the poem. I love the "tell her this" part, because it seems like that's what guys are always doing. Telling their friends to pass on a message.
Very cute. And then the last stanza was beautiful. Very nice.
