Measure For... by Maureen GlaudeToday Im going
to have a measurement taken
not of my bodice, waist and hips
for a new spring dress
nor of my in-seam for new silk pants
nor my third finger left hand for a gem
no, today for cataract surgery
and replacement lenses
Im going
to have a measurement taken
of my eyes 02/23/2007

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/24/07 at 05:57 PM Wow, you learn something new every day. I had no idea that the word "measurement" could be applied to the eyes too. And this poem certainly measures up in expressing the concept. |
