Iris Feathered Eyelashes
Long Iris feathers
reach the brow line in dozens
Milked, brushed black, parted
Outlined, jasmine green
With a touch of bedroom brown
sensually cast
Upward, they lap slow
Increasing the allure, "blink"
"Wink"... hello handsome
Like a rich Uncle
Kissing both the upper cheeks
They live in numbers
the male species, fights
but poorly, rarely winning
"Venus" traps the guy
