Negative in Blue

Negative in Blue

 

It was no big secret

She was so much more

Than  

Just a negative in blue

Leaning soft against

A hard  

Honey yellow marble

Pillar

Surprisingly still cool

Despite the rays ..

Yes 

It was there

Her sun shocked hair

Fell loose

And still wet

From dancing in and out

Of waves

Later though they both

Dined

On fallen fruit

And then did nothing

Except make love

And counted sunny days ..

I'm a sucker for a happy ending Neville ... I like the forever more in this one.. smart play with the negative against some fine imagery and color says i ...
"Her sun shocked hair
Fell loose
And still wet" ... that's where I was captivated ... action, movement and contrasts ... she is most certainly a Sports Illustrated woman of the month says i! Such a lucky man your hero ;)

Playing with the colors in poetry always makes good poems. What is imagery without color? Fun read. Tyfs

Nothing negative here apart from a dark room scenario as a metaphor. A beautiful poem with a positive outlook. A perfect finale Neville.

Now that you've painted such a wonderful image in our minds, I once more wish I could paint it and sell it for a world record fee.
I can do a matchstick men and finger painted version for a pie and a pint though! 😊

[Neville]

[Lorry]

A pasty is just a jumped up pie with fancy crimping 😊

[Neville]

................ I'll make do with a brace of them then .. 😊😊

[John the Baptist]

From the last lines I'd say she was a positive, color be damned.

[Neville]

It helps to have a photographic memory and a pen handy John .... thanks a bundle ... All Good Things,

Neville

Loving the metaphor here of the developers room
I imagined a basement
Her negative leaning on the marble pillar
After being washed
Great ✍️ write

[Neville]

Hey my friend, it is so good to have you visit .. and I am truly delighted you made the association with the development of photographic images etc ..
makes it all worthwhile ... bless you .. take care and stay well ................................. Neville :)
