Not My Fault

I'm afraid it was the sun as it coaxed leaves to glisten within a gentle background of white noise breeze that made the grass sway I too accuse the reds and the yellows of flowers that knowingly indulged their vibrancy, violet the cunning ringleader whose plan was hatched that fateful day when I stood inadvertently murmuring discreetly appreciating, but a frog had jumped beside me I didn't know he was there I hope I can count on his discretion

You have so many styles! I usually start to exit a poem when colours get mentioned but this one is a joy where the mind kind of suctions to the words to hang on for the ride - enjoyed!

I know what you mean about colours, they're cliche. I often try to find other words to allude to the colour but sometimes it has to be done. Many styles perhaps but I don't like writing poems to specific styles, I prefer to write the poem I want to write, it shapes as I go so they are mostly ending up free verse. Thanks so much for reading my older stuff, much appreciated
