​Pantoum For These Eyes By Kristine O'Connel George

Let yourself slide under their spell- these eyes have something to say. Write the stories these eyes tell, look deeply, don't look away.

These eyes have something to say. Come, come meet these eyes. Look deeply, don't look away find their truth, discover their lies.

Come, come meet these eyes, sketches of shadow, smudge and line. Find their truth, discover their lies, look into eyes with faces left behind.

Sketches of shadow, smudge and line. write the stories these eyes tell, look into eyes with faces left behind. Let yourself slide under their spell.

My interpretation of the poem is you can learn a lot about a person if you look into their eyes. You can tell if their happy, sad or mad if you look deeply into their eyes.
