I'm the grey
That storms your picnic sky
And the black
That tars your coat.
I'm the brown
That rusts your castle door
And the green
That fills your moat.
I'm the pain
That makes you want to cry
And the rain
That falls so free.
I'm the heart
That's always wanting more
And the hand
That holds the key.
I'm the pink
That sings to you so soft
And the red
That bleeds so near.
I'm the blue
That babies you to sleep
And the clear
Of every tear.
I'm the clouds
On the horizon loft
And the winds
That hum your tune.
I'm the seeds
All sown for you to reap
And the love
That's coming soon.
I'm the scar
That never goes away
And the guy
Who's staying true.
I'm the kind
Who's set his mind to stay.
I'm the hue
Inside of you.
Author notes
Dance the dance of defiance!!! Defy predictability, defy pattern, defy presumption! Come now and defy the difficulty of becoming something better than what everybody else has you labelled as.... just NEVER, EVER defy your heart!!!
Defiance is more than just one color, because it's more than just one emotion. Purified defiance is that indescribable glimmer that exists in all of us, but still, it isn't just one color as far as mere words are concerned.

Everything about this poem is beautiful. The colors make my heart swell. I love from whence you come with "defiance"". It's like you are saying; "I defy you to say I am like you, I defy you to define me, I defy even that you may defy in believing you know how I think"... This is brilliant! I love it when someone tests their skills to the outer limits. You have done just that my friend, and with grace. Thanks you so much for this entry into this contest. I would wish you luck but skill wins out over luck everytime so, there is no need.
Much Love,
Renee

I like this. Good way of looking at and describing defiance. Once again, something I've never thought of that way before. Great job of course. Good luck in the contest.

I feel the way you have presented your poem adds to the overall essence of your write, the different colours you have used add emphesis to your author's comments.
You have used colour in your first, second and sixth stanzas ie; grey, brown, pink and blue ... I love your last two lines! it rounds out your idea of colour existing in all things, especially where words are concerned.
Best of Luck in the Contest.

This is amazing...the way you described something different in every stanza-but it all realated so well to each other made it come alive. I have one suggestion that you can take into considersation if you'd like. In the sixth stanza, I think that it would sound nice if you said 'the clear color of every tear'-it just makes the flow stay as wonderful as it is in the stanza's previous. I fell in love with the seventh staza-it was worded beautifully! Great job on this-it was truly enjoyable to read!
