Greek Isles

Colorless boxes under the sun

Built not for beauty 

Fast cast for fun

Sky above profoundly blue

Unsated desire of color's due

Wanton light of paradise blight 

empty canvas painfully bright

White stark 

Contours chromatic  

Stucco frosted 

Glare and glow

Rainbows die 

Squinting eye

Monochrome palette 

Swarming May Fly

Whitewashed blossoms 

Racing to die

White color hungry to be free

Impotent spectrum

Empty image of color lost

Rainbows sacrificed to cost

A too bright gallery unfulfilled

Row and rows of empty canvas fill
