Michael Smith Poet Free verse

Manic Canvas Daze

Manic canvas daze
Splashing teary blue
Handprint red
Torn out strands of aging grays
Emotions of tirades spent

Manic canvas daze
Cherry change of mood
Orange ray kisses spread
Green sorrys spray
Yellow smiles meant

Manic canvas daze
Really only white or black

Dinda Minardi May 5, 2012 at 11:15 AM A very good analogy, Michael. Though I'm a bit confused with the second last stanza. It's about color, isn't it? Enjoyed it! :) Michael Smith May 6, 2012 at 6:03 PM Each color representing the eratic swings in mood but in the end it's either depression or happiness. Thanks for your comments.
