Life In Black and White

To seek and never find,life
-the tragedy of living;
To see and never find,love
-the tragedy of being;
To seek and never find,faith
-the tragedy of after-life;
To live and never find,art-
to live life without seeing;
To live life sans poetry,
with one-dimensional sight,
without imagination-
life exists in black and white.

I like your interpretation of the contest theme. This was very cool. The format has a melodic cadence that keeps the reader engaged. Nicely done.
