Eyes Open Wide

Look is a word with two letters in the shape of eyes open wide. Observing all that is common and real. Seeing the beauty in simplicity. Freely examining the present. Considering the view, it quickly fades.

A really nice poem although I haven't met an etheree before. Is it a style of English poetry? I believe that a truly good poet has the power to see beauty in simplicity and to paint this in words that enhance it. I'm with you on this.

Thanks for the kind words Josie. I just started writing this form and have learned that is it a style developed in the 70's by an American poet. Thanks for stopping by =)
