Clara Bereuter Poet Alexandrine

Colors

What if there were purples, and blues, and greens?

What if your daughter loved a pink, though she a tangerine?

What colors are more capable of awe and inspiration?

What greatness does life hold without exaggeration?

What courage can be shown without mixing up some colors?

What knowledge can we bestow without first understanding others?

Joseph P. DiMino September 1, 2016 at 10:03 AM Message well presented, Clara; I despise shallowness and bigotry as much as you apparently do. If only life were simple as art. A box of crayons, plenty of paper and any child could solve the problems of the world. Sadly, it is far more complex. Excellent writing! Keep up the good fight.
