Blue Your Eyes by Joan McNerney
Blue your eyes Blue your eyes this edge of snow in silent sky. Brown eyes soft tree bark patterns as yellow flicks sparkle in wintry sun. And now it seems your eyes are green green as spruce turning to grey eyes glancing across as if from a mountainside. Your eyes two violets hidden beneath frost. Close your eyes as sleepless stars glide through night in aerial ballet. Black coal eyes glowing on fire red flames leaping out of eyes burning blue your eyes. Joan McNerney’s poetry has been included in numerous literary magazines such as Seven Circle Press, Dinner with the Muse, Moonlight Dreamers of Yellow Haze, Blueline, and Halcyon Days. Three Bright Hills Press Anthologies, several Poppy Road Review Journals, and numerous Kind of A Hurricane Press Publications have accepted her work. Her latest title is Having Lunch with the Sky and she has four Best of the Net nominations.
