The Perfect Blend

His practical and thoughtful way It's either day or night, With barely any shades of grey, His views are black and white. She has a multicoloured blend Of pinks, and greens, and blues, A reaching rainbow to extend, Delighting with her hues. Pragmatic thinkers often feel Confined to their black ink, While feelers' colors might conceal Their longing just to think. A one-track mind begins to stray Outside those narrow lines, While dreamer's hues shall not betray A search for solid signs. Upon a sturdy, steady stand, His canvas black or white, Will lighten up when colors land, And tone down ones too bright. When passion paints in reason's mind, And logic heals in heart, Within this balance, you will find A wondrous work of art.

This is superb Jessica. I've read several of your poems here at PS and have been bowled over by all of them. None of your rhyming feels forced and your final stanza, here, is excellent. Keep writing and we'll keep reading. Cheers - Gary

You are so good at these rhyming poems, they flow so effortlessly and you always (it seems) write a complete poetic story in each, I like that.

What he does with paint you do with words. I think I'll stick with you just to stay awake for a while.
