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 Entered "pen to face-face to pen" contest sponsored by:Sami Al-khalili

Great haiku, Sandra. I have an iris plant in front of my house. It does have "eyelashes" :) Anyway thanks for your comment on my " One Last Dance" Love, Iolanda

Would a grouper or an amberjack suffice? Haven't seen any whales in the Gulf of Mexico but, who knows, maybe you can send one my way!

Love the image of eyelashes as "Long Iris feathers." Venus may "trap the guy," but this alluring poem captures readers and provides sensual delight. Such an incredible write, Alexandra. Your work here shines of genius!
