Surround Me in The Shade

Surround Me in The Shade

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

A colorful homage

"
Surround me in the hue
Of the spectrum's very heart,
Infuse me with its grace

Saturate my world
With the sprightly shade
Harbinger of springtime's embrace

Delicate balance,
As all beauty is,
Of cheerfulness and gloom

Surround me in the hue
Of the summer winds
While the woods are still in bloom

Yes, indeed it is.
Not bad. Your word choice is a little overwrought in places, but you have a solid concept and you've gotten it across fairly well. I think the second-to-last stanza needs to be either cut or rewritten entirely - sounds very off and doesn't help the flow.
Other than that, good work.
