Silvery pools and other clich"s
Flood my disgust, they haunt my days
And nights until I cannot find
Anything but an almost-rhyme.
And you, my dear, whom I seek to describe,
Are only pleased by words of the scribes
Which are spewed forth with ease
Of a newborn's vomit. I cannot please,
I cannot give in, but I will try
To create an account of your eyes:
Silvery pools of - well, I do not know.
Suffice to say, they're like new fallen snow.
And so to the end I'll no longer delay,
although I don't know of a fitting clich".
