She was just a lass Of maybe fourteen or more But there was something intriguing I could not ignore Twas the shape of her eyes And the way her brow lay What nationality was she How could I say Her skin was fair and fine Her hair black as night Freckles on her face Threw me off to the right Just then a lady sat down And reduced my frown A dead ringer for the girl But two generations down Small and petite And not the same shape But eyes said it all They could not escape Definetly Asian For that I am sure Beautiful eyes And that Worldly door...........

About this poem:
Always trying to pick peoples heritage through their features ..........
Very lovely poem. My Mom was always a people watcher too - you learn a lot about people just sitting in a mall or car watching them walk by. When I was a little girl my family would pile into the car on a Friday or Saturday night in the summertime and drive down to the village - got a round of ice cream cones and sat in the car watching people and cars go buy - cheap entertainment. There are so many different people in the world to watch. Thanks.
great description Ru. it's so interesting to watch people trying to determine what is behind their eyes or smile. absolutely loved your poem. regards, Lilly
