THE TEST

Sunday Muse #152  

 

                                                            Furrowed brow, steely eyes

                                                            Maybe motivated, maybe wise

                                                            Missing two important components

                                                            Noticed early in a few scarce moments

                                                            Absent are all-important eye twinkles

                                                            Lacking as well must-have laugh wrinkles

                                                            Even though you’re pretty to see

                                                            You’re simply not the guy for me.

  3. I think each of us has certain things we look for, either consciously or subconsciously in a partner. I like how you detailed what worked and what didn't work for you, Beverly.

  7. If I were a girl he would not be my choice either. You are right with the smile, wrinkles and eyes. With mass mask wearing we are detecting smiles by eye twinkles. I have perfected eye rolling and raising. Same direction came fast, opposing directions is harder. Also hard is eye reflex motion training.
