Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in Rhiannon's Poetry

Four Eyes

Skittering black they cast for clues
Dart with reserve
And silent study

Careful they test the tides
Then twinkle
Deadpan mischief

His eyes of shy puzzlement
Conceal a trove
Of quiet savvy

***

Ice tender blue
Glass-framed glare
Unravels to quixotic gaze

All but disappear in smilesquints
Then vanish full
In weary retraction

His eyes of reproach
Mask so sheerly
A poet’s soul

Too many
