My Eyes

I see the ocean.

I see a trees.

I see the wind

blowing with a breeze.

I see a bird

at the feeder eating seeds.

I see a hummingbird

getting what he needs.

I see a butterfly.

I see the sun.

With so many things to see

aren't I the lucky one?

Some eyes are blue,

green, hazel, or brown.

What is it you see

when you look around?

  Aren't our eyes wonderful?  The best thing I get to see is a smile on your face.  Seeing is one of our five senses, and it is the one writers mention most in their writing.  This is another poem you can play as a poetry game.  Each person can take a turn and tell what they see, or what they use their eyes for.  Make a list today of all the things you see.  Can you shape your list  into a poem? Or just use the list to write a free verse list poem.  Hey, this could be cool.  Start with the date for your title.  Your first line would be "Things I saw today:"  I'm sure you can come up with a great last line, but mine would be something like "This is what I saw, how about you?"  What would someone know about you from the things on your list?  

Have fun writing your list poem and share with me and your friends.
