Manic Canvas Daze

Manic canvas daze Splashing teary blue Handprint red Torn out strands of aging grays Emotions of tirades spent Manic canvas daze Cherry change of mood Orange ray kisses spread Green sorrys spray Yellow smiles meant Manic canvas daze Really only white or black

A colorful display but in the end all that remains is black & white?? Love the title too. Slots in perfectly with the theme.. :) love Wilma

Black and white meaning in the end it all comes down to depression or happiness.

A very good analogy, Michael. Though I'm a bit confused with the second last stanza. It's about color, isn't it? Enjoyed it! :)

Each color representing the eratic swings in mood but in the end it's either depression or happiness. Thanks for your comments.
