Best Whiteness Poems

Winter frost on willow trees  
     Weeping tears of snow.  
Halos 'round the opal moon,
     Hopeful, humble glow.           
Ivory keys collecting dust,

Can your colours for the year:) 
Swirl undulations in; concentric."
Vanilla shaded ridges coalesce...
Swells in the pail; then disappear.

               Im-pailed
A circle of steel they put it in."
Yet with a flat ended tool,

The One

Lilies were lifting
white faces up to the sun.
I gazed up at him
as he leaned down to kiss me. . . 
He - a white knight - was the one.

White - A Love Story

White was the blanket on which we lay
under the clouds of that...

Whiteness is the fairest color of flawless perfection
a vibrant tapestry of Creation's affection
a masterpiece of beauty; pure as a sinless soul
a delicate crafting, so intimate, a treasure of wondrous whole.

an infinite vision swirling...

Without it we don’t see light and shade
Balanced it doesn’t blind us with its light
Creatively it is has influence on the hue
Its absence brings darkness without a clue
No moon to admire from high in the sky
Or light at night to guide us on our way
The...

Sea caps, white, shadows
Fin, cutting above surface
White caps part, Great White

Herons calling out
Congregating over cove
A gaggle of clouds

Eagle soars above
Snowshoe hare, new tracks, no hare
Disguise of whiteness...

[Couplet]

Light would be an empty sky
No clouds or color for us to spy

Without whiteness nothing would reflect
With the eyes no objects could we detect

Blindness in a world of light
What to do without your sight?

The core of all color in this world 
Around it is which...

I sat in class, way in back
looking at all the
colors, I thought to myself
in comparison how pale
I seem compared to
my peers, they said 'oh hey you!
so pale and fragile'
Had they known how strong I was,
whiteness excluded...

Whiteness

Oh I was raised to
believe that whiteness, goodness
oh I was lied to...
the fear of blackness, evil
act of insecurity.

Toil

Destiny whiteout
on the long winding highway...
many turns in my life.

My Rose

this my national emblem...

An indispensable beauty in the eyes of our Beholder
In the heart of one's innocence radiates its power
It stands  to what is right and represents holiness
In this colorful world, the only thing which balances

It’s the most essential  tool  in the world of a...

Chains tightly bound
Around my Spirit.
Hopelessness echoed
Sounding doom in my ears.
Fight, faith broken.
The Sea of Anguish
Had engulfed,
canopied& enveloped.
Then I looked to the Sky.

My gleam of Hope
Who nightly strokes
The sorrowful world.
Her soothing light
Ceaselessly shifting form.
Eternally 
illuminating a path
For the Lost.

Unlike her blinding cousin, The Sun,
who scorches& scalds.
The...

Whiteness is for beauty, White symbolizes a bride
Whiteness is for serenity, White can reflect your pride

White is also worn for funerals, White stands for peace
To bid goodbye some use white, to say Rest In Peace

Whiteness can be pale, It may portray a vampire
Whiteness can be...

white t-shirt hanging on the line
pair of work scrubs thrown in the laundry
two socks matched perfectly in the drawer
white tennis shoes by the door
white eye shadow placed upon white skin
grabbing my white purse
heading out to my white car
driving to work in between the white lines...

I wanted a can of white paint
To finish my dining room wall.
I'd started with left-over paint
and simply couldn't recall,
the exact white that paint was named.
White is white, I've always claimed.
But I found that isn't truly right.
White sometimes is not the same as white.

There is white,...

A white Santa showed a child the skin tone of the top brass
A white doll to an innocent black girl contrasts ugliness

A white wedding was beauty redefined as a cloak on a lass
A white Jesus, before we repented, repainted righteousness

A white collar is how we...
