This is the first poem I've written since grade 11 English class
Title: These Eyes
Character: Carey Price
Rating: G
Author Notes: A poem for solidland, who made me inspired me to write this.
These eyes
Heart of dark forest under sweep of raven’s wing.
These eyes
In other times, dusty summers, would scan the ground
Zeroed, like hawks searching for prey
Now
Like a deer, hunted
Alert for the shot before a sound is made.
These eyes
On guard, scanning white ice to the horizon,
Intense as a burning red dawn
Cool as the blue of a deep running creek.
These eyes
Illuminate like spotlights
Sparkle like champagne on silver
Shine the brightest of all stars
Hang the sun and moon like banners in the sky.
