Wide-Awake Eyes

winter storm passing in the night

micro-burst is not a gentle breeze

giant palms sashaying in the wind

needing a hand to hold in the dark

winter storm passing in the night

silver moon taking a short vacation

blue bolt penetrating the skylight

painting the white pillowcase blue

needing a hand to hold in the dark

silver moon taking a short vacation

blue bolt penetrating the skylight

piercing a pair of wide-awake eyes

	I really really like this. I can't figure out the pattern of repeating words but I think that is what I like most about it. It flows so well. Tina Respond To This Comment

	I'm not a fan of repetition but you have made repetition work wonders for this piece. To me the repeated lines were an indication of the event happening again, like the "blue bolt penetrating the skylight"...and this is exactly how it happens, over and over again. Storms like this frighten me. At times like this I'm the one who is "needing a hand to hold in the dark". shiver Wonderful work, bravo! ~Barbara~ Respond To This Comment
