He looked down at himself
and saw adequacy.

She looked at him
and saw brilliance

-her heart skipped a beat.

  1. Do you mind people asking about your poems? I am horrible with poetry and love dissecting others.

    Is him looking down figurative? What’s he looking down at? And I hope it’s your heart skipping a beat. 😉 Nice seeing a happy poem out of you.

    1. I don’t mind at all, but you may be dissatisfied with my responses because I don’t have all the answers. 😉 In this case, though, I think of the looking down as both figurative and literal.
