I am distressed as color drains from my muse, no more sunsets of amber and honey colored hues. The pale blue of sky in the late afternoon, ivory toned pictures displayed by the moon. Deep green of forest after hot summer rain with lime colored moss on rocks of terrain. Bright orange of monarch amid winged ballet in air, with a mist that softened to gray. All lacking the color given freely in mind by my muse who lately has been most unkind. All the pastels, all the brights too, I can't see them clearly I've lost poet's view. I place here my palette empty of shade. I plead of my muse, I'm driven to beg. Put color in pen, so I'll write again. WhiteRose 11/24/02 "my reflection becomes me" |

Do you wish for blue Kansas horizon's view? Perhaps gay yellow in play a sunflower's day... Deep orange for the Monarch whose swift wings have gone or blood red in the sunset come dusk or come dawn... Come shop with me Rose, your pen we shall fill any color of choice your whim is my will... |

Anne, Well, you certainly put lots of color in this, in more ways than one. I like how in spite of that which you claim you do not have, you manage for us, your readers, to receive in each poem you write. Quite talented and I enjoyed this. Hugs and warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

All the pastels, all the brights too, I can't see them clearly I've lost poet's view. Now, this I can't agree with because your poetry never ceases to warm me with the colours of your words. Wonderful write, enjoyed. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Hmmm, on second read - humbly suggest "Color, In Pen" for title. Cor |

Thank you each and everyone who replied. This poem was written as a bit of irony actually. I was attempting to write a poem filled with color, while bemoaning my muse's loss of color. The entire poem was written in about 30 minutes time, (cause Mom just really needed to come in and speak to me every 5 minutes) and the last two lines took me most of the day to come up with. I think I added them mostly out of desperation for I could think of no way to end the poem. The idea of a pen just came to me out of the blue, and I'm not even sure why it did. Again, thanks so much to all who commented. It is appreciated. Cor, changing the title sounds good to me. Before I post it anywhere else, I think I'll do that. Thanks  |
