Notes About The Poem
BLACK IS ALL COLORS

Iridescent

I am certain to move

so you may see

deeper shades of me

see me from 

shadows shades

or light rays

Blink your eyes and

I will change.

And If by chance you

position of your sight

you'd see black at a glance

in a different light.

Blue black

Purple black

turquoise-black

brown-black

reddish rustic black

beige black 

yellow -tan black

stone black.

Move your eyes

see the colors of

A rainbow

from a different angle

iridescent

Black 

am I.

Displaying a

spectrum of colours

liken to a black Grackle.

On closer examine

You will see accents;

Of every color imagined.

Deeply embedded in

the plumage of

my feathers entwined.

I am IRIDESCENT.

I AM FEELING YOU I Am Feeling You January 5, 2014 at 3:17pm Sometimes I run out of words in which to respond to my amazing poets from around the world. "Like" buttons are deficient, I open my "dialog bag" and scatter bountiful yet limited vocab throughout my mind.Only to find; That there are no words, in which to reply. I respond with a smile and a sigh. All I can do is Identify, be enlightened or feel. You cannot see my reaction or know my satisfaction, when my words are not sufficient my silence is efficient. Speechless tho I am rendered - Your words are speaking loudly to my kindred spirit. Again, when I have no words, in which to reply. I respond with a smile and a sigh. and I am feeling you!
