Colourless

Leafed to be reft Ashen greys in bleak surround Cover of night dies It's stillness, in cry, out loud My life, will be skeletal http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-14.php

James, if I visit Loch Ness, you can dive with me and we'll take underwater lights. What fun that would be! Thanks for reading the poem on Nessie. Love, Carolyn

Really like the way you compared your feelings to a tree that has lost its leaves, James. This will never happen to someone with a spirit as energetic and passionate as yours. Love, Carolyn

Your title perfectly shrouds this pallid poem! It is a somber, mystical verse. Enjoyed every word!

wow, really loved this piece you wrote. thank you for reading my eagle on the lake, i saw this eagle and jlimed it, i had never seen a wild one before except at the zoo, so it was a thrill to not only see one but flim one also, so i went home and wrote the poem that same day.
