Prisms of Color
Soft white wispy mist floating in the treetops
Lit by the dawning of a pink morning sun tingeing still
dark gray clouds.
Warm bluish misty air, drifting over verdant mountains
Like your whisper on my cheek.

The deep blue of a clear, crisp sky
Snow white puffy clouds
Parading in random file on a slow breeze
Throwing cool shadows on newly cut bright green grass.
Like the peace you give me.

Flickering yellows
Itinerant white/yellow/red sparks
Off rough logs over curling blue flames
And glowing, golden embers warming the room.
Like the comfort of you.

Pulsating deep reds shot with
Exploding purples/blues/greens
Ejecting day-glow pinks and light yellows
Like our passion.

Flat, slate gray clouds low to the horizon
With a fine, cold drizzle driven onto barren ground
On a raw, relentless, black wind.
Like your absence

A rainbow fronting roiling storm clouds
Brilliant, highlighted with no end.
Myriads of colors
Blending
Like our love.





Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

Cheryl,

Glad to see this is to be included in book.

This is beautiful. I especially liked the flickering yellow stanza, though all are well written; good imagery.

Enjoyed this greatly, Hugs, Pat

Awesome poem, I really enjoyed your colorful expressions.

Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent.

Boy I sure do appreciate all of you and the wonderful support  that this did receive. I am once again battling a health crisis and find it so impossible to write anything worth posting ( I am still painting , however)....I do so love and appreciate all of you

This poem is definitely "passion, imagination and intellect running together"! I love your use of colors.
