Rhyme and Meter

In conjecture, while in solitude,
the music zigzag played,
with a texture of ingratitude
and rhythm quite dismayed.
To maneuver through a comedy
as if a tragedy
is to hover with a rosary
where anxious eyes can see.
Though the galaxy in chaos
sells a diamond resume;
there is an element in purple,
same as orange every day.
Though the siren soothe your mind
in liquid flowing melody,
in conjecture, and in solitude
is where you must be free.

Author notes

Where red is not, and yellow is not, there is blue...right? (or is it the absence of blue our eyes see?) What color is sunlight? How many colors does the prism reveal, and still we see white too bright to look at. Where does red stop, and orange begin?

    The meter here is superb and I really like the "conjecture - texture" rhyme. The whole thing flows very nicely!

    Thanks for sharing and entering. I'll enter a more detailed comment once the contest ends! Cheers!

      Thanks very much

      I missed the rules by two lines though...guess I'll add a little more.

    I too gave this contest a stab, and there's some wacky stuff being inspired by this wordbank. Fun read here (though you may want to break up the lines a little as I believe the contest called for a minimum of 10 line.) Best of luck in the contest with this.

      Thanks very much

      I normally miss something in the rules once in a while...and it's been a while. Thanks for the heads up! (the word bank is sort of difficult to use and still keep sane about it I suppose)
