Tranquility of the ocean
The vast sky
I reach my arms up
To touch the beauty of your depths
The sun warms me,
Giving me joy.
Flowers smiling up at me.
You bring comfort and happiness
To my life
Fire flickering in the hearth
Bright sunset, defying normal boundaries
Filling my heart with boldness
Grass tickling my feet
Trees blowing in my ears
Mother Earth bestowing
Life
Quiet night
Blissful nothingness
As I close my eyes
You bring silence
And peace
Blinding perfection
Clean, new beginnings
Letting me know
That life will go on
And purity will find me
You all swirl around me
Giving me hope,
Courage,
And wonder
Author notes
Option #1 - Write a poem where each stanza describes a different color but don't use the color names (no blue, red, orange, yellow etc...)
Each stanza represents a color (except for the last one)
They go as follows:
one: blue
two: yellow
three: red
four: green
five: black
six: white
Black and white aren't technically colors...they're shades...but oh well!

A lovely write
This made me feel as when I was a little girl sitting in a makeshift swing and dragging my toes in the powdery cool dirt -
Very good
I bet this one took some time to write but you did a grand job on it

Wow! How wonderfully done to write for those different colours! Love this!
-
Katrina! This is insanely awesome! I love all the description and it was really really good!
One spelling mistake in line 25, I think you meant life will go on.
But really really good I loved it!

Beautiful poem. My only suggestion would be not to use the word "reach" twice in the first stanza. I enjoyed reading this. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the comment...I didn't even realize I had used "reach" twice in the first stanza. I changed it. Thanks again!
