A Silver Lining

When the sky is grey... what can you say?
When you feel a little blue,
Wondering when the sun will shine again,
When you'll be inspired to sing or shout,
Or write a verse about love
To lift the dark clouds above?

A song to raise the roof,
To proclaim the sky's the limit,
A note of optimism that soars above
The mundane and ordinary,
When meaning and purpose are somehow obscured,
A silver lining appears round every cloud
And the dullest grey turns to gold!

    You've done a really good job here, I especially like your use of colours within the poem to indicate feelings. It flows nicely and shows me there is always hope.

    Many thanks and good luck in my contest.

    What great imagery skills you have my friend, you really did shine in this poem. I can see that you are quite the creative one and really this poem was ever so enjoyable. It was one of the sweet and short poems, but too me its like eating chips, cause once you eat one you have to eat another one. This poem left me wanting more, but like chips you have to know when enough is enough and I think this was the perfect length and everything. You had such a great flow to this poem. Great Write!
