365 Poems in 365 Days: Green Eyes

Inspiration can come from anywhere! In this case from staring in the mirror.

I have green eyes, not green like grass
Or jade - although perhaps the light
picks out a glint like stone or glass - 
But like a stagnant pond that might

Conceal something (Shakespeare
Thought it might be jealousy and
It could be hidden there I fear)
So look away. I understand.
