Notes About The Poem

Written April 20 2026

Violet Views

Are we on the same page
In the big black book of life
What would your words say
Would they cause relief or strife 

Are you an onyx optimist heart
With views worn on white sleeve 
Rather are you pink pessimistic shark
Waiting to take a bite of cocoa me

Can we grow towards a center
Perhaps merging in our violet view
Could cooperation create splinter
Embedding in thick skin like bad news

What is it about the opal opposites 
Do they indigo in the soul attract
Can we build truce with rock and stick
And merge in a communal lime laugh

I admire your passion and dedication 
You’ve a right to have such a stance
Join me in a cranberry celebration 
Where unique ideas rise and dance
