Sans Color...

For the Poetry 101 "Color" Contest

Floating without an identity...
Overlooked and cast aside for more desirable siblings...
Clandestinely pervasive, stretching its anonymity across reality...
Harbinger of an impending storm...
Preferred choice of a passive aggressive wallflower...
Eerie calm concealing what hides within...
In BOLD contrast...
Preferred symbol for the essence of intellectual omnipotence...
Valiantly guarding what is most beautiful...
I am GREY...misunderstood...independent...an anomaly.

Floating without an identity...this starts it all with a flooding of emotion! Overlooked and cast aside, your words just flow throughout the poem, pulling the reader in and having them feel these well worded emotions! Great job!

"preferred choice of a passive aggressive wallflower".. those lines alone are brilliant and makes me wish I had come up with them first!!.. I had to read this one a few times.. I'd say you met the challenge well.. you described emotion, thoughts, feelings, imagery---as if it were a color.. you make the reader see it in each one-creatively and skillfully.. awesome job Steve!
