A Senryu,
The last line takes your description to the artistic level. Lovely impression of the painting.
ReplyDeleteYes, her eyes really do seem to be speaking--an elegant yet simple response in one of my favorite forms. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteSo romantic. Lovely haiku
ReplyDeleteShe does have eyes full of promise and beguiling! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated by this painting, but didn't know why. Of course, you're right, her eyes are so expressive. I had to choose others because I couldn't decipher this one, but you've done it perfectly.
