Shades

the order of the iambic pentameter, the chaos of the totally unmetrical, the logical conception of a piece by Bach, the frenzied wailing of the later John Coltrane, the predictability of the sonnet form, the convoluted voices of free verse, the yin the yang, the shade the sheen, and all the vibrant shades that lie between!

Even though your suggestion would still fit the meter, mine is a little longer and I think preferable. Thanks for your valued suggestion... Best wishes, Keith

Great write, I feel the last line would be stronger as " and in between lie vibrant shades"
