Notes About The Poem

The Eyes Have It

In my mind I'm reminiscing, walking backwards in memory,
To the gilded edges of time, when you first laid eyes on me,
In a beautiful hummingbird hour, of the orange sunflower,
And days and nights eclectic, as a vivid fireworks shower!

Under clear skies of sapphire, in very youthful days of May,
I saw you for the first time, when gardens offered bouquets,
In the midst of the rosy season, and the moonstruck nights,
I discerned love at first sight, in wildflower days-that's right!

Fascinating array of images here, Evelyn... And you must have 20/10 vision to pick out your man amidst all that multicolor splendor!! Cheers, Gershon
