Excellent poem! Love the last lines especially. Really intimate and beautiful.

Very nicely done. Quite enjoyable. The mist always catches my eye.

A beauty indeed - a superb work to say the least.

Mascara certainly stands out against the backdrop of 'natural', rustic imagery, which is interesting, as mascara might be regarded as 'unnatural', not only because it is an applied adornment. For the majority of species in which appearance plays an important role in attracting breeding partners, it the male who is invariably endowed with outstanding features designed to attract attention. This piece demonstrates that nature's aesthetic qualities are no match for those deployed in the theatre of primal drives :> Exquisitely expressed...

This is just beautiful. Descriptive and initmate and made me sigh... Congratulations on POTD!... What a great way to start the day! ~N

A fine POTD! I like how the mascara focuses me boldly ;) on her eyes even as I love the swirling world you have created around the two of you. No wasted words here. Thank you.

This is lovely. I particularly like the second stanza, I can practically feel the eye-widening intake of breath while taking in her words.
