What Is That

*Recently I had an eye retina issue with 1st experience of floaters and flashes in  my eye. If you haven't experienced it, on the verge of retina detachment,  these are examples:


Monoku: 1

Is that a bird flying by or just a massive floater in my eye? 

Monoku: 2

Is that a bunch of dark grapes or just a bunch of black spots in my eye?

Monoku: 3

Is that flash a lightening bolt in my bedroom or just my retina trying to let go?

I have those floaters sometimes and they are quite annoying to even sometimes they get scary. The lightning bolt part is very scary. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Yes Demetrios. It was crazy with the light flashes , spots and floaters. Continual floaters moving can make you feel sea sick too ugh. But for now that has calmed down. I have been battling things from different directions. Thanks. Hugs and Blessings, my friend :)

Thank you Vijay. The retina was pulling from the eye, but did not tear. No detachment right now and thankfully those floaters , etc stopped. Now, I am just dealing with a different fast health issue. It has been like that all year. Back to back. I appreciate your kind comment very much! I hope you have a great day :)

I like the first monoku best, as it is reminiscent of Dr. Seuss! Nice one!

Had that a year or so ago, Heidi. Apparently normal as we age. Ironically, my distance eyesight actually improved, which was handy as I’d just broken my specs and was able to revert to an old pair… result. Each of your monoku (s) are uncannily accurate. Terry
