An Eye In a Blue Face
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
“That eye is like to this eye”
Said the first eye,
“But in low place,
Not in high place.”
A daisy in the grass. The big eye is the sun.
This is from J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

A Leathery Snake
A leathery snake,
With a stinging bite,
I’ll stay coiled up,
Unless I must fight.
A whip.

Round, Yet Flat As a Board
Round she is, yet flat as a board
Altar of the Lupine Lords.
Jewel on black velvet, pearl in the sea
Unchanged but ever changing, eternally.
The moon.

To Be Gold Is Good
To be gold is to be good,
To be stone is to be nothing,
To be glass is to be fragile,
To be cold is to be cruel.
What am I?
A heart.

Never Ahead, Ever Behind
Never ahead, ever behind,
Yet flying swiftly past;
For a child I last forever,
For adults I’m gone too fast.
What am I?
Childhood.
