Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Shades

To view the world though shades of blue
                           Seems such a sullen thing to do
When loving hearts can conquer all
And make our troubles seem so small

To view the world through shades of pink
                                May not be practical, I think
For though it’s good to contemplate
Reality, we should relate

To view the world in shades of green
                            Perhaps, I find the most serene
Though dwindling, our planet’s face
It’s not too late now to replace

The view the world in shades of white
                           If white is truth, I would delight
For darkness would be washed away
Making way for peace to stay

Gershon Wolf January 16, 2019 at 9:27 PM If you viewed the world in shades of brown, would it make you frown, or would you go to town?! … This is a most delightful write, my friend. You have such a nice, light touch with the words and the shades. Happy viewing! Best wishes, Gershon Mike Gentile January 17, 2019 at 7:28 AM Thanks Gershon, Though brown did not occur to me, I think about it !!!
