Best Palette Poems

Her persona is like 
a portrait 
   of picturesque perfection,
embalmed in 
  bittersweet lavender, 
unseen within depths 
of tributaries of elixir.
If only they knew 
 the chaos that flows, 
constrained in 
a confined 
  gallery of grief.
Not everyone is

The color palette of the world has changed.
Wispy painters brush clouds line a clear calm sky.
The day is dry and cold, powdery snow starts to fall.
Flowers have ceased budding and spilling over in the garden;
yet the passion, fragrant, rosebud cherry and amber
honeysuckle vine, twines round...

Soft, pastel-pink, aqua, sepia
Turning sharp, gold, striking
The sky is a willing canvas
Waiting to be kissed
By the palette of colours
Multi-shaded layers dapple the heavens
The pace of life is set to slow
Announced by the sleepy, restful sun
Her dying rays cast playful shadows
Open to interpretation!
Liquid gold outlines the...

I get lost in a dream of my choosing, 
A zest fairy tale or reality; 
Drawing my heart strings with abstract musing,
Idyllic poetic shared fantasy. 

Natural colorants of black silk night, 
Glorious effulgent wide azure sky, 
Spilled crimson horizon morning sunlight, 
white jasmine laden boughs...

Without you my words are an unadorned poem. By poet.

At the edge of silence this soul screams,
unable to save the decaying flowers in her garden of deceit.
When her sadness is in love with me,
anchoring emotions weigh me down,
as cathartic metaphors reveal a labyrinth of tears.

God's Palette

How does God paint a calico cat?
With smidgeons of orange, gold
and the most charcoal black.
A white background is his canvas.
His heavenly brushes, of these, God
has no lack!

The cat serenely stands, as God 
chooses what blessed brush to use
with His Divine artistry!
The cat suddenly speaks:
"Please, God! Can I...

Tiny dishes on my palette
filled with a rainbow of colors
that I meticulously mixed;
arranged like a row of flowers
that I’ll use to paint her portrait.
Cadmium yellow for her hair;
white and yellow ochre create
her flesh tone; perhaps if I dare
a dab of cadmium red.
Cadmium deep red for...

HIS BLUE PALETTE
~anacreonti verse~

Lonely moon
shed yellow light
in month of June
falling, falling
are the tears
carrying sad tunes.
Palette of blue
is the pigment
spilled to his ink
eversince the day
red, colored their den
at the lush grass
is his wife, sprawled
gasping, gasping
for some breaths
a deep hole seen
under her chin.
Her lips bit open
as if...

I dub a little bit of colour here
A little bit of sparkle there
Splashing out the fear
Brushing on the care
Colouring over the tears
Painting better years
Drawing blue skies clear
Blotting out the scares
Till a masterpiece appears
A painting so rare
My palette of hope is here
Bring your troubles and cares
We...

Envision total tranquility,
captured as though by an artist's brush.
Attention’s given to the landscape,
lush green terrain, inked, primal, and rough.
Brindled hues join a rainbow of tints
merging with waters of azure blue,
isolation evokes creation.

Splashes of periwinkle and rose
dapple the ground under a leafy
blend of emerald green canopies,
deployed...

Hues and crests from God

   Both a promise, and blessing-

       Only seen in spring.


Striking features true

  In minds of religious view-

        Punish the wicked.


Noah, only knew

Oh the bodies,
that dance, 
throughout time 
in orbit; 
on a universal palette,
of color.

The colors 
of heavenly bodies, 
on the solar system’s palette, 
in a universal “Crayola” dance; 
coloring their orbit 
and forgetting about time.

I worry about time; 
it too, has many colors.
Parallel time, in orbit,...

Spring in the meadow,
