Fifty
Shades Of Gray
(Add
demention to life, painting, and everything..)
I
usually do not paint in gray
Black
and White ...not usually done.
Shades
of color, yes what fun!
There
could be things to learn from gray...
you
say?
A
bit of white in red
A
bit of black in blue
Many
shades of gray...
In
clouds may make you feel a chill...
Drips
on my skin?
What
will happen?
Time
to take flight?
Will
gray make the picture right?
Warm
up the color with a little red
Skin
or Clouds or Grandmas tea cup
Warm
it up!
Learn
from gray that way...You say?
Reflections
A
touch of white
Shades
Something
added as you think of gray
A
touch of color, A little more dark
Something
added Or taken away
Gray
Titty
Pink, Tan Skin Brown, Rosy Red,
Paint
a portrait with shades of skin
Make
up the color as you go
Flesh
is not a color
of
crayon
or paint now, you know.
Portrait
Pink or.....name your shade
Purple
for the darker spots
White
or gray
for
the gleam of an eye...
No
one took the gray away!
Feelings,
paintings, thoughts, and fun
Are
we painting ?
Are we done?
Ah, the little bit of color you add to the grey can make all the difference in the world. We can warm it up or cool it down. It is our own choice, don't you think, as we paint our lives? I enjoyed your poem!
ReplyDeleteA bit of whimsy and a bit of color too! I love mixing colors!
ReplyDelete"Are we painting? Are we done?" What a marvelous conclusion!!! I liked your pasted format here --- and I loved your poem.
ReplyDeletewhat would we do without colors? and the grays and white and black do provide contrast. delightful take on the prompt!
