The Eyes Have It- - -(A Tanka)

the man studied her
setting fire to the dark night
with eyes over-bright
and glittering with cold ice
her eyes begged for forgiveness

Wonderful write... quite insightful dear poetess. Top score and to my favourite! !
Dr Dillip..... Thank you for appreciating this attempt to create an atmosphere of a short story in a terse few lines of poetry
Wow! Mj, your observation gave me chills running up my spine... Lugosi and Chaney were terrifying in those movies... silence only made them more evil. Thank you for the 10, my friend! ! !
This is a very powerful verse, Susan. It catapulted me into a dreamland, flashes from old and silent films. I saw Lugosi and Chaney, their " eyes glittering with cold ice" . A perfect 10! !
another special moment has been captured by an expert poet to tell us how we can understanding the language of eyes without speaking, very fine way of expression,10++++++as usual and thanks for sharing with us
Soran, I cannot thank you enough for all the kindness and encouragement you have shown me and thank you for all the starry-eyed tens! ! ! !
A powerful piece that is so relevant to the world we live in. A world where fear rules. From a female's perspective, it is particularly significant. Her eyes begged for forgiveness.....an image that will linger in reader's mind. And i like the form of the poem too...and the fact that you were able to capture a vast theme in just five lines is certainly a feat. A sure 10.
Thank you- -it encourages me to read this. I wanted this to have impact even though the form of the poem is very restrictive in number of words and their placement. Thank you, Nosheen, I respect your comments because you have such an intelligent and graceful pen. And thank you for the ten!
