Question

what does it mean “smiling blue eyes as bright as a summer sky held”

Answer 1

It’s imagery they’re trying to explain to you how someone’s eyes are as blue as the sky because you’re trying to picture it so it’s imagery

Answer 2

i’m not very sure how to answer this other than saying that the author is comparing the eyes to a clear blue sunny sky. you could also say the author is also using this simile to emphasize how blue her eyes really are.
