Notes About The Poem

For Nette Onclaud's Some Kind Of Misty Poetry Contest

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His Misty Eyes

Stoically he sat
keeping the tears static
in his misty eyes while
my tears burst like rain clouds.
We let time pass, then rose
to leave the theater.

That is the way of it isn't it, Andrea? My husband is the same way, he will sit stoically forbidding the tears that threaten him, and I am like a cloud burst. Of course, I am the kind to cry during moving commercials, at least in the old days when I actually watched tv! I'm a crybaby, so I prefer comedies ;)
