Hyperbolic Moments

originally started as an exercise in hyperbole, but then i decided to make all of the hyperboles, moments, or variations on the original.

I.

Gigantic orbal eye,

as bright as the sun,

glancing across the table,

and a deck of cards.

II.

I have weathered

the stormy temple 

of her glancing eye,

like a spear of lighting

jolting furiously by.

III.

Limestone stair,

jutting up the canyon;

One-thousand year old steps

now take a day to climb.

VI.

Impossible summit,

the everest of all smiles,

It is not enough to make camp

at your bluff.

V.

Eye as black as spades,

the inverted chasm of a smile,

How many days have past

since i last held  back your gaze

with a flush?
