How I shall colour today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the morning breeze feels its way through my skin

When the drizzle gently tickles my weary face

When the songs of the birds reverberate

Resonant with the uplifting shrill notes

When the warm bed engulfs and refuses to let me go

When I kiss the tastes, sweet and sour

When I touch a flower about to bloom

When I feel the softness of the silk cocoon

When I feel the goose bumps taking shape

When I spasm and blink and get stiff again

When I laugh till it hurts my cheeks

When I remember the past and silently weep

I know it is yet another blank page coloured

With different hues, edges sharp and blurred

In the book of life I rightfully own

And as every page is turned over

A blank one faces the morning light

I feel the crushing responsibility

To paint it the brightest way possible

To succeed is a miracle

To fail is an effort gone wrong

And yet, I am left with the book

Full of victories and experience

No sorrow

No regrets

Life is your canvas, so don't be afraid to paint a rainbow. :) I really like it. It flows well, and the end is very powerful. "No sorrow, no regrets."

"To succeed is a miracle, to fail is an effort gone wrong."
"...left with the book full of victories and experience."

I love the Title, the pic. Experimental writing is the best. No rules, no boundries. And you break the rules beautifully! xo

Had a hard time getting into this one. There were some nice lines in there though:
"And as every page is turned over
A blank one faces the morning light"
"To fail is an effort gone wrong"

Great poem, it shows beautifully how life goes on.

Top draw poetry, the first read I was too quick, I went back and went slowly through the work... it's so classy, it would grace the pages of any good poetry book.
