they all have the same concept. so i thought of posting them together instead of having separate posts and take up the space.

whirlpool
deep and unfathomable
your eyes
*********
blue iris
our gazes
mingle
*********
midnight blue
the love in
his eyes
*********
aquamarine
the sea in
my palm
*********
blue
the green in
my turquoise ring

Hi Tam, great to see you posting these short impressions, one of my favorite forms as you might have noticed. Some thoughts...

whirlpool good
deep and unfathomable -"unfathomable is a big enough word- do you need "deep and"
your eyes "your" is maybe implied so....


for full brevity I think....


unfathomable
whirlpool
eyes
says it all Smile
*********
blue iris
our gazes same idea, do you need "our"
mingle
*********
midnight blue
the love in 
his eyes...


midnight blue
love
in his eyes
*********
aquamarine
the sea in
my palm
*********
blue
the green in
my turquoise ring
Not gonna touch the last two for now. I like the first 2 the most. Sorry about the font glitches, I hope you can still take something from my thoughts. Good work. Smile  Paul

These are lovely. They could work as potential lines for a tanka. Have you tried tanka poetry?

Tanka are five line poems grounded in concrete images infused with lyric intensity.

warm regards.
