Colors

The purest tint is but a canvas bare in wait of rapture from a master's brush, for all the pigments of the palette share in placid beauty as their color's blush. Though ev’ry hue unveils to radiate, reflecting self within an opus scrawl, the blending of diversities create a masterpiece of unity for all. But without light, illumination's lost thus, shading beauty’s luminance in gray. Within the darkness, all shall bear the cost for putting such discolor on display. For unity to bathe in brilliant light, the colors of the palette must unite. Host: Mark toney Marathon Contest - Mile 9 7-21-22

Mark, your sonnet is sublime, and the powerful message of your sonnet jumps off the page: "...the blending of diversities create ~ a masterpiece of unity for all. ~ But without light, illumination's lost... ~ Within the darkness, all shall bear the cost." The last two lines drive home the point. Congratulations on your win on Mile 9 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 10 has already started!

You do make the sonnet look easy, although I know that is a big fat lie. Very smooth, well crafted!
