FIVE 17-SYLLABLE SEE-IT POEMS

 FIVE 17-SYLLABLE SEE-IT POEMS

1
Left or right?
Bright star or empty palm?
Behind your back a change of hands.

2
Thomas wasn’t there to see it.
He needed proof.
Then faith gave new eyes.

3
What the blind man sees
with wisdom, those with sight
cannot identify.

4
In placid waters
your reflection stares back at you.
Which face is true?

5
The child sees a herd of stallions
stampede across the sky.
We see only jumbled clouds.

  1. These are wonderful, Sal! I do, however take exception to number 5. I see the stallions.
