Colors of Poetry

by Joe Cramer

In shadows we see the colors of poetry,

This, in our palpable existence

That is viewed so distinctly.

How can words be so true, so fine

And yet leave such an abstraction?

When in shadows this life slowly turns

The leaves of probability

While time slows, goes into eternity.

Hi Joe, Never thought of it that way. Colors of poetry. Good one. makes ya stop and think. I guess in ways, poetry does have it's own colors.

There's so much beauty here. And subtle nuance. this invites reading and pondering the subtle changes..."into eternity". "Words so true, so fine".

Wonderful introspection Joe. Words have color and so does our life. Attitude determines the color, just as it motivates our mood. I'd love to see this as POTD. You have my vote. ;-)

Eloquent rendering Joe. A great way to brighten a blustery rain filled morning. Thanks for that. :o)

I don't know, I just don't know... how can they? Lingering poem, this; it has me by the teeth.
