Through an Emerald Eye

If the world was seen through an emerald eye

Stained-glassed windows all aspire

 

If heart was wood of cord and pine

 Billowing willows on the moor

 

If words would fail bitter darts

The gulls long wailing in the morn

 

If the world was seen through an emerald eye

Glass-stained doors all awry

That was a really awesome poem, Bernadette! I had to read through it twice..... I loved the fact that you used the word 'emerald' it sounded cool...

Great word choice throughout this poem! My favorite part was the second stanza... All of this sounds so cool, the sort of thing that just has to be read aloud.

Lyrical, Bernadette.
