Notes About The Poem

For Nette Onclaud's Pentastitch It Poetry Contest/ Oct. 29, 2025

Eyes in Fireglow

Oh, his eyes dark as chocolate! Nearby the fireplace his gaze melts deliciously into mine. Those dear eyes have me mesmerized. May their sweet shimmer hold me always in the hearth of his heart.

An invigorating romantic narrative permeates this work’s every word, line and stanza.. “Eyes dark as chocolate” among the many highlights. Thanks for your sharing your impressions of Cherry Blossom Offspring And Birthday Greeting Scrawl Howard

Thinking of Billy Eilish the eyes of few have the power to mesmerize.

Very vividly written sweetie! Love the visuals that you paint here and how you use "fireglow" in the title, makes it even cozier. Betcha this is a winner :D P.S. Haha, I still have to get the hang of those captchas each time I comment here-- Soup sure seems to be the same, and yet not.... Can't shake how different the atmosphere seems to me. Or that is just me ;)

Thanks. That title is the prompt for Nette's contest. Her contests are so inspiring to me. I find I can write short free verse sometimes because of her challenges
