And so it sways within the line of vision,
contouring to the whim of the iris.

Flipped over a distorted crest of flesh-
reaching for the unseen splendor,
tempted out of reach, out of sight,
but never out of mind.

Without contemplation it breaks-
fleeing moist emerald meadows,
to fall and adorn woolen lapels-
coats worn in the winter solstice.

Unfastened still by way of the thumb
and index, pinned and plucked-
interrupting fabricated eulogies.

Two hands flush, and the lash
suffocated within the bond-
bled for its secret, bled for the dream.

Wishes made on the overcast dawn,
with still more to fall from homely eyes-
dancing on the peripheral, daring fate to intervene.

I like your poem a lot. It is very descriptive. I'm about to publish my short story titled What If on here soon. It is about a girl who asks what if about a lot of real life situations. If you would like to review it once i get it published, I would really appreciate it. I would rate your poem at about an 8. It is very nicely written. Keep writing. :)

I had time to decipher the meaning hiding behind this poem, but I think I got it wrong so I'll just leave it to myself.

I loved the use of vocabulary in this poem and the fact that the flow wasn't disturbed in the poem.

Overall, I enjoyed reading it, a lot.
And I couldn't think about anything else, so I hope this helps (I really hope)

To me it seemed like a microscope-focus on eyelashes, the eye being the meadow, then
by the end, they make wishes c: what did you get?

Very close! Of course all literary works are subject to personal opinion so really there is no wrong answer. Thank you both for reading!!!

I got eye lids @Audy but who knows...

Nice choice of vocabulary. Very descriptive! This poem really gets me thinking. You should go check out my short story when I publish it soon. It's about a zombie apocalypse that begins in a high school. My cousin and I are planning on writing a sequel to it soon. It is also very descriptive, I think. I would really appreciate it though if you read it. It would mean alot. I can't publish it until i get 500 points though. Thanks! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
