Premium MemberJagged Edges

There are edges Time leaves in passing
      Some of them are jagged
 A few edges are grey and badly torn
Sometimes the jagged are also distorted
      and leave one puzzled, confused
 Some edges can cause disquiet
And we begin to wonder where they were
Were they there all

I Am White

Contest: Imagine Yourself As A Color
Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich 

-------
Beyond this lifetime's ceiling

A railway opens hallowed paradise;

Where astral view roams in eternal grace

I splash this sacred dimension

With hues pure as lilies and sea- pearls,

Linking dawn to endless strips of starlight.

I am Blue

I fill the expanse of the sky in the daylight,  
I am the colour of royalty,  
I represent loyalty,  
And I don’t put up a fight.  

I am the colour of the ocean,  
I symbolize wisdom,  
I herald the goodness of the kingdom,  
And I don’t succumb to

SOULS HAVE COLOR




       The soul has color
    Yes, it's absolutely true...

  Evil has a soul of an undefined color,
     Good has a transparent soul,

        Angels and children
         have

Premium MemberGreen Man of the Golden Stars

The rocky road made good sense to get here.
Life doesn't slow down, but speeds on like fire.
She remembers how life always appeared 
When the Green Man always for her enquired.

He was the one who showed felicity
Back in the woods of mythic wanderers.
It didn't matter his ethnicity
He became a mystical conquerer

Wandering through the elemental fields
Where spectral

Premium MemberI Am a Rainbow

I Am a Rainbow

I am a rainbow
One color built upon another
Sometimes red hot with inspiration
Often the warmth of an orange autumn
Yellow brightens my sunny personality
While green reflects desire to grow
Blue soothes my restless waves and feet
As I dream in purple's visions
Each colors my days outside lines of black and white
And I love being in the

Premium MemberI Am Rose

I am rose, albeit a dusty rose;
my journey forward has been long and hard 
along this narrow well-worn path I chose
that’s left me old and grey with dust-caked clothes
and dreams dismissed, emotions slightly scarred.

And yet the hopes that ever lead me on
are optimistic dreams with colored bows;
I’m always chasing my tomorrow’s dawn
and reaching for the

Premium MemberI Am Green

Green, that enraptured hue scape a  verdant plume, 
goodness gracious am I gracious for being that tint,
to loiter breezily amid the  luscious woodland habitat,
as this green chameleon spring spree omniscient,
I am that maestro metaphor for sumptuous growth,
whilst trailing pots, urns  and archways in deft design,
green hedges, lawns, verges, meadows, trees I bless,
Am

Premium MemberI Am Indigo


I am (from India) a deep and vibrant hue,
glow with the still sequins of the full moon
in the silken shroud of the night sky,
shedding a serene shade on the slate sea,
away from the silver-embroidered shore.
I am the patina of the flowing ink,
shaping the epithet of emotion of the muse
in the realm of the inner sensitive

Premium MemberI Am Gray

I may be no primary colour
The trendy say I’ve had my day
But I shall be no shrinking violet
I stand tall and proud… for I’m GRAY!

I’m never seen gracing a pizza
Or the tail of a visiting comet
I’m not in the arc of a rainbow
Nor the colours that emanate from it

I’m in every shadow, for that is

Premium MemberI am Magenta

A hot pink that is vibrant and bright
A showstopper in bright light
A whimsical and magical vibrant sunset
With a fiery mix of pink and purple hues
A warm summer breeze with floral scents infused
A taste of sweetness from a fresh plum fruit
Remarkable as a rare sapphire gem in pursuit
A beautiful and delicate summer bloom
A vivid presence that

Premium MemberI Am Violet

If I were a color, I'd imagine myself being bright 
It wouldn't be brown, or yellow or white
 
It would be something kind of, like in-between 
A pinkish/red, or a Orangish/dark green 

Silver is too sparkly, and gold is too bold 
Bronze' not too shabby, but it'll make me look old
 
Purple doesn't cut it,
