White Is Your Jasmine

White is a pigeon And the snow at your window White is your jasmine Leading me towards tomorrow White is the bubble In your rippling pool Where the shadows ample Assemble in a poetry wool White is your marshmallow A music of your white palm Your drumsticks sweet and slow In my blue dream a pink balm White is the diamond In your sparkling smile A white hibiscus beside the pond The charm travels a mile When the yellow larks dance with you A thousand roses bloom In your river an explosive hue The Harappan horses in the bedroom From our white shower drops A pulsating white bud blossoms We return to the white prayer queue Smiles the microcosm January 14, 2018 What is White - Poetry Contest Sponsored by : Debbie Guzzi

Hahaha ... They are my fav too ... I mean the metaphor ... Horses we may come across in this sense in many poems of famous poets ... but the shower drops arrived spontaneously in my finger tips and onto the key board ... Thanks for liking the poem, Kim

I loved your examples of white in your poem Probir..you make a clear point about the purity in white, staying away from race.
