Ocellated ... Blink

Today’s word is “ocellated” ... os-uh-let-tid ... having eyelike spots or markings. (Dictionary.com)

Blink

Like the ocellation on the tail,

Of a peacock fancy,

All the eyes of earth are rare,

There’s about them, nothing chancy.

And each of them reflect the souls,

Which God has freely given,
Good and hopes there mirrored,
As by greatest dreams we’re driven.
