Little Beige Gecko
Romance in Nature is filled with dancing and singing, and a little color.
~ Poet
A sprightly creature shares my home.
Little beige gecko, oft times green,
regards my porch as if his own.
Many hours he may be seen
from railing to roof, and in between.
My porch, his favored retreat,
filled with ferns and jasmine yellow,
provides his shelter, idyllic and

Autumn in Padded Beige
"Autumn in Padded Beige"
Wrongfully writing of
This leaf changing
Season currently
Without knowing or for
Yes for no reason for
Four walls my eyes
Only seize on site of
What sight sees
Completely
Confounded
In confined
Solitary

My Garden Dahlias
They make me wonder---
What fingers wove the tapestry of their being!
The splash of violet here, mauve there, white with red stripes—
They stand tall and do not bend till the wind forces them to.
Though soft, they manifest dignity.
When stress and depression shoot their thorns,
A glimpse of these beauties spell discipline.
‘We are of the earth and

Beige
Are you beige?
Do you speak with the rest?
words with no validity,
just like froth in the wind.
Do you copy and try to emulate your neighbour
to prove and justify who you are,
by getting a big car .
Do you dislike individuality?
those who wear outlandish clothes,
who think ,to you,crazy thoughts,
Are your opinions always the right ones?
and everyone else is

Feeling Beige
Feeling Beige
by Bob Moore (2017)
Are you always feeling beige
that’s what we should call this age
no longer young, but we are not old
don’t like the heat, can’t stand the cold
Nothing seems to be just right
no

Beige, Brown, Cream, Tan -
As I have walked pass or visited high-in rich subdivisions and gated communities, I have noticed all the homes are from the same color bracket. They are either beige, brown, cream, tan, camel, oatmeal, caramel, taupe… or a mixture of these colors, like half brown, half beige… Have you noticed that as well? I wonder

Pourri Pourri - Remember Me
"Pourri Pourri - Remember Me"
I am not white
I am coloured
A kaleidoscope
of voice and song muted
freedom sold
for the price of a bale of wheat
ground in the white man’s mill
I become pale as sifted flour
lost voodoo ghost
whispered on wind song
gone
walk about
in the Dream Time
with all my
brothers and sisters
chained to

I Am Beige and Brown and Spotted
I have tanned feet
mimicking my sandal straps
my arms are spotted
beige and brown
There is green paint
on two of my fingers
I place my hand on a piece of paper
Laugh and scoff
that anyone could call me white
I am not white in the least.
I can see this by the contrast
Even my fingernails are not white
they are off-white if you

Beige Lifestyle
I don’t tend to worry about many things
but one thing recently has played on my mind,
something I have noticed that age defined
the need to wear and fall in love with beige.
If you see me wearing all beige then give me a shout,
if you see me wearing beige then count me out,
shoot me in the head

Beige and Blue Sky
The box structure of the tall apartment
Disappears before my eyes
I am looking from a beige and blue sky
A lake arrives
Boyhood of beehive
The tree bearing yellow flowers
Exchanging look with the cloud towers
Your image
Yet to be lost in the apartment's garbage
Strums a guitar in the green shadow
Of the tree
Tunes of love
Sound of infinity
It is she
Who splashes

Written In Beige
Written In Beige
Against the bleak bank wall he leans
as the sidewalk moves sideways
across his tangential thoughts.
People pass, the dull parade,
the money-grubbers and hoarders
in their shiny suits that mock
his existence. Sad clouds meld
into a sullen gray sky…it must be raining
somewhere. Clink! Silver coin
rattles metal can. He wonders, when
did the colours disappear?
The pungent aroma from Mickey’s
Taco Wagon

Tones of Beige
That obscene stare
aggravates the silicon
thrust. You become a victim
of an upheaval.
The white dwarfs have
invaded the blackboard.
You can get a glimpse
of unsolicited rape.
A cyanide capsule
hangs on your chest.
Will you commit a suicide
after an unnatural kill ?
It takes a toll. The
abuse of the fingers.
Instead of writing a name
you print the cave.
Satish

Chanel Beige
It’s been a while,
Without her smile,
Which lingers large
In my recovering,
Fallen heart,
As time goes by,
And truth sets in,
The little scars
On my canvas skin
Begin to blend,
Edges fade and I
Become whole again.
The drop she gave,
Pure, like Chanel Beige.
