Almonds, Marbles, Teardrops and the Color of the Ocean
By Emma
My eyes are almonds, almonds the color of the ocean. My sister’s eyes are marbles, big marbles the color of the ocean. And my mom’s eyes are sideways teardrops, the color of the ocean.
When you look in to my sister’s eyes, you think you see marbles and in each marble you think you see a calm ocean, waves, whitecaps and a dolphin. They are sweet innocent eyes that make you feel comfortable and safe.
When you look in my eyes, you think you see almonds and in each almond you see a storm, dark blue waves and a gray moon peeking out behind big, white clouds. My eyes are like a mood ring, they tell you how I’m feeling.
When you look in my mother’s eyes, you think you see sideways teardrops and in each teardrop you see the clear blue ocean on a perfect day and seagulls flying over sparkling waves. My mother’s eyes are always smiling, no matter what the rest of her face is doing.
All of our eyes are so different, yet so alike. All of our eyes catch the different facets of the ocean.
