surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
Blue Eyes
Blue eyes wait for seed Shimmering, looming lower The plan haunts my hours ___________________________ Written for the Time Capsule Haiku Challenge, this poem is about the uncertainty I feel when I think about having children and the ever-pressing reality that a biological clock exists for women. I always imagined having a child with blue eyes like mine, passing down my own favourite physical feature— a reflection and confirmation of kin.
