Greyscale

greyscale shoots and photo finish
fading by the winter days
blurry sunlight filters through
whispered forests, milky haze

camera settings, altered lighting
scattered leaves and sweaty hands
glowing afternoons that murmur
phosphorescent darkroom lands

imperfection, quite the devil
grainy streaks of subtle grey
an artist is a writer's friend
who visually blends the phrase

Please tell me what you think

    WOW!

    all i can say is WOW! this entire poem flowed so beautifully, it was truly a pleasure to read. i've been so busy with everything lately, i haven't had a chance to read many poems on allpoetry and i'm really glad you gave me the link to this. it's refreshing to read something so crisp and new amidst all the boring cliche poetry (which i'll admit mine falls under sometimes!). This was a new concept and fun to read.

    i just love the last stanza, it has a real staying power that ties up the poem beautifully. but then again, i reread this over and over and each stanza is just as strong, entirely able to stand alone. hands down, this is an amazing poem. i tip my hat to you.

    Commentary

    To me, this write spoke of something that was well hidden away from another consumed assumptions and that no matter what was told, the lines spoke volumes

    Great flow to this piece. It paints a steady picture and its quite evident in the tale it weaves. I especially like that last stanza. Well done and best of luck to you
