Hindsight

 

 

Were they brown…

Were they green…

I know

I must have seen.

Author's Note

...sometimes we fail to remember the color of someone's eyes.

Overlooking the obvious awakens me even sometimes in the night.

[Weeping willow]

So true, remembering colors is something to be cherish ;-] wonderful write.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly!

If we do, then we know a few things for sure. We were uncomfortable speaking to them in one way or another, interest wasn't there, we are not eye people and we noticed something else first and foremost. Lol...I could be wrong. Eyes are the very first thing I notice, and then hair, especially if its wet. From there it goes downhill....this is a great short poem with a lot possibilities, Loved it!!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

But over time, when you're trying to remember someone, does it rush back to you? That's pretty much where I was going with this. Many thanks, Crowley!

[Crowley]

For me and eyes...yes.

[Melissa]

I am often guilty of missing the color of someone's eyes even though I feel like I look right at them. I wonder why.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think its just something that happens that we have no control over, even with the best of intentions. Thank you, Melissa!

[Neville]

one looked up
one looked down
when they crossed in the middle
they formed a smile and a frown.............. please excuse my silliness... your words here Kelly are truly luvverly.. Neville

[Kelly Scheppers]

It is wonderful having you here, Neville...in whatever capacity I can get you! Many thanks!

[Neville]

I am one happy guy and true.... thank you kelly...

[Lydia Shutter]

But in the end, all we remember are concepts and feelings...the color of the eyes is not as important as what they said to us. You have a special knack for saying a lot in just a few words, Kelly. Always a pleasure to read you. Lydi*

[Kelly Scheppers]

I totally agree with you, Lydi. It is all about the way they made us feel. Thank you so much!

[Gee]

I always look into the eyes of whoever I happen to be talking to, sometimes ending up not even listening to the words being said.
Makes me uneasy when a person avoids eye contact, it's as if they have something to hide.
Good morning Kelly, hope you are well, I'm guessing yours are......bl.....brown

[Kelly Scheppers]

Good to see you in my nighttime, Gordon. Thanks so, so much!

[Gee]

You too, and it was my pleasure :)

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome Kelly.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I was always told you know true love when you ve lost yourself in his eyes...leaves you forgetting the color of even your own.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I wholeheartedly agree, Eve. Thank you!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... I must have seen the world when I first looked into his eyes.. with flecks of blue and green with brown shadows... your poetry is a vision of earth and sky in the blink of an eye. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

...that's love at first sight, I do believe! Thank you, Pat!

[Patricia Wedel]

Love at first sight... high as a kite flying on gossamer wings... truly, Pat
