Notes About The Poem

Image- Imgur.com

(Original Format)

Peace is painted in pastel, parting the pain,

( the yielded yearning )       of times true

 

 

             - Pleasant pink is a perfect place,

to embrace how I feel. . . .   to escape,

     this sweet ache

 

   -----------------------------------

~   Scribbling in Soft Tones  ~

 

* Emotions Emerge from the Heart *

     Holding on tight, yet so light

Blood orange is my favorite pastel. Weird choice I know but, I am kind of a weird man. Beautifully written Brandy. Asavvy1

I don't think that color is weird. I once picked up a candle that was scented "Blood Orange". Thank you Jared, for reading this scribble about a sweet ache that lingers within. My best to you. :) Brandy

Pastel blue is my happy place to where i escape as i lie looking at the sky when it a brilliant blue with no clouds to flaw its perfect enhancing embracing space in my heart, from where ideas for poetry generate in my very soul. Pink is my 2nd favorite. SUPERB POEM. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Blue is a calming color and I can understand why it's your favorite. Red is mine, blue, and then purple. Pink is last. Continue to float in the sky, my dear sweet friend. That's where you belong. Thank you for your lovely comment. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Some poems leave you speechless. Just mmmmm... that was good! Bite size, alright--I'm hungry for more. It's sensual and smooth, not to overstate the obvious ;) Also, it's deep (once again) with rich, luxurious, layers suggested by your use of oxymoron and paradox ("sweet ache" "Holding on tight, yet so light"). I love your feel for words which comes through in your alliterations ("yielded yearning"... mmmm) Yeah, left me speechless, Brandy ;)

Steven, your thoughts leaves me in complete awe. It seems my scribble has left you breathless and somewhat speechless. When a sweet ache lingers within, it tugs at the heart so deeply. Thank you for your lovely comment. I appreciate you and your kind words. My best to you. :) Brandy

Brandy, sweet friend, you have "scribbled" a delightful and plaintive call to the heart to feel and yet continue to heal by embracing healing - turning it over in your hands like a shiny stone until wholeness again returns. So tender is this poem to your heart. Congratulations on your POTD! Sending you many blessings for continued success!

How lovely to see a new poem from you, my friend! Complete with Brandyesque colors, emotions, longings, romance, and alliteration, all in only 5 lines. Yes, pastels paint peaceful scenes so well. So happy to celebrate your poem of the day with you... popping a bottle of pink champagne, no doubt. Going in my faves. Blessings and hugs ~ John

Peace comes from within, however, it seems colors of pastel, help soothe a sweet ache that lingers. My heart is not breaking, it is feeling a tender love. Longing and lingering. Thank you Anaya, for your kind words and congratulations. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Brandy
