Ralph Sergi Poet Free verse

A Fissure of Color

A  Fissure of Color

She lay the cloth against her head
A cloth of silk and silken hair
To wear a bonnet , brilliant gold
Priceless gems to adorn her ears
Earrings of an emerald green
To blend in color with her eyes
And exult in jubilation
The impetus begins to stir
Inducing blue and blazing red
Vicarious, she greets the change
A colored chasm is aroused
Produced by light of tint and shade
A fissured yawn reflecting scenes
And mockery to tease the light
Her opulence has been defined

Eight word challenge contest
