All life came from the sea
By andybyers
31 July 2007
Inspired by a recent moment at a family funeral.

the blue-grey of my father's eyes
is warship steel, but
a drop
from a salty sea hangs in sorrow
from his eyelashes
put there by the storm
of his sister's eulogy

excellent - nice, sharp observation and a fine feeling for the right language.

Liked this very much. It says just enough and leaves the rest for the reader. 
 
'Sharp' about says it all.
