Black Line Senryu

If you use charcoal

to sketch the image of life

the lines will be black

Author's Note

Still thinking about how we create our own reality - residual poem from the previous!

very thought provoking. Really very nice

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Voice... Glad this got you thinking

[rhythm&blues]

Sometimes we do forget we are in charge of the images we create, nice work Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, R&B.

[Aubrai]

I say, use the ones which best describes you. So everyone will remember you when they see your lines.

[Rita L. Sev]

Exactly. Some people color everything in black, and then wonder why the world is a dark place... Thank you, Aubrai.

[Aubrai]

I color it gray. Without a reason, really. :) You're welcome!

[Stella Armour]

but the edges fray out to grey...

[Rita L. Sev]

True... Thanks for reading, Stella!

[Stella Armour]

you are always welcome Rita

[Dr. Wood ?]

wel I am reading anti racism into this..It is deeper than it first appears, either that or I am insane....AH..Scratch that last remark

[Rita L. Sev]

Hmmm... I was going for a message of how we color our own world - if we see everything as dark and negative, then that's what we create for ourselves...

[Dr. Wood ?]

I clearly wasn't looking clearly

[Marie]

But if you use white you can't see them.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! But if you use crayons... :) Thanks for reading!

i really like this...Rita.

and those lines often will be hard to see.

much like how life is...lines stretch..lines blur, etc.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Jacob!
