~~Red~~

Red is the colour of fire and blood,
Energy, passion, desire and love,
It's drenched in emotion,
When push comes to shove,
Or when hearts come to rest,
Like the wings of a dove.
It fills me with anger,
It fills me with pride,
It tells me I'm living,
Or something has died.
It touches me deeply,
And fills me with heart,
Red is the colour,
That tears me apart.

Pefectly fine because you described what black and white means to a writer.

Black [Acrostic]
by J.E.S.S.Y

B urning savagely into pale, soft flesh
L icking rapturously at her open wounds
A cidic liquids running from broken veins
C rimson showers painfully released from eyes
K illing silently all that lies within her soul

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
An Acrostic is a poetry form where you use the letters that make up the word as the first letter of each line.

Poison Ivy (Green is the new Black)--- By Dhaval

Can you not see the jade that escapes this skin
The fettered jealousy that runs in the seams within

Emerald iris of mine, once a tint of cobalt sky
You fail to infiltrate my glasses- nobody knows why

But maybe you’re playing color blind tonight
So I’ve written these green words in black and white

Do you recall those nights when I would bank on you
To fill me with smiling sleep, after a word or two

Your voice would speak of lovely objects
Of fibs and secrets and demanding subjects

And then your throat would utter this ardent tone
Of his entrancing eyes, his blood and his bone

A lovely dark mane, plenty inches longer than mine
The only boy you fancied under the silver moonshine

Sleep that was once in my palms, no longer was mines
Can you finally read the green between the lines?

You say that he is in every way, unrivaled to me
I heard someone say that he writes better poetry

So strike the match and drench my soul in gasoline
Perhaps I’ll be incinerated in a fire glowing green

But until then, hasty grows this helpless poison ivy
Watered by my own love, that was thrown back by thee.

Black Skies

Black skies fly over the dreamer
Mourning encompasses her death
The winds she blew and fantasies she drew
Allowed crisp stars to steal her breath

Black clouds rain on the poet
Writing has now become a sin
The things she wrote, many a note
Let small raindrops take the win

Black suns embody the lover
Quiet and dull as she may be
The men she loved and women she hugged
Made fluffy clouds set her free

Black blood covers the cutter
Suicide is no longer a last resort
Black and white days fading through greys
Told black to make a final retort

Yes, it's a limerick of sorts.

7 poems this is VERY good
dont stop now!

I hope that this is okay... if not let me know

Black and White Photograph

A black and white photograph, laying in the drawer-
Splattered with memories; too sad to just ignore.
Four faded edges, with the folded creases torn;
The picture held the spots where it was plainly worn.

The black and white smiles, holding so much joy,
A picture perfect romance, between a girl and boy.
The shades of black contrasting the light tints of white-
Showing how sometimes things aren't always alright.

He left you one day and you couldn't even stop him;
It just wasn't your fault; it was his silly little whim.
Gone, he left, like the bullet out of his gun-
Brought on by the thought of promised fun.

Well, times were more different than he ever expected-
He never could've realized all the things, so unexpected.
People were dying, shot right in front of his eyes
This isn't what he had ever wanted, he realized.

He couldn't come home and it broke your heart in two.
"What," you ask, "did he get himself into?"
The hatred spread by all the bullets, flying-
Each day, the body count slowly rising.

Then one day, a sealed letter came in the mail.
The writing was simple, written kind of pale.
"Sweetie, I Love You. I'm coming home soon.
No need to worry, I'll be home around June."

June came and went, without a soldier's return-
The news would come then; she would have to learn.
"He died fighting." the letter had read-
Crying, she took in what he had already said.

He never came home that cold night in June-
She realized just what happened, all too soon.
He was gone and there would be no more laughs.
Dust began to cover the Black and White Photograph.

Ciao~

I wanna have a go at this. =)

Is this contest still going on? No one has posted about it in a while...

Xx Orange xX

What word rhymes with Orange?
It's starting to puzzle me
With all the words we use each day
To find one should be easy

It's like trying to rhyme 'purple'
Nothing's ever really right
It's like 'silver' or even 'month'
Finding a match is such a fight!

There has to be a word out there
Start to run through the alphabet
'Lorenge?' 'Torenge?' Those aren't even words
Why's this rhyme so hard to get

I can't find a single match
I've now wasted so much time
This is getting so impossible
I can't find anything that rhymes!

So what word rhymes with Orange?
This quest is getting really tough
I can't find a single word...
Syringe! That's close enough!

A Poem of the Broken Hearted…

Feeling down
And oh so blue
Who would have thought
I could feel this way about you.

You have taken my heart
And crushed it to pieces
You made me feel
Like a piece of feces.

Now every night
I lay crying in bed
And a from my wrist
Flows a river of RED.

I once loved you
But that was a while back
Since then
You've turned my heart BLACK

ORANGE is the colour of the flame
That burns from within
All this anger inside -
It's a mortal sin.

I was so jealous
I mean GREEN with envy
You were always with her
When you were meant to be with me.

And now all the colours are gone
Everything is just a bright WHITE
I now feel completely free
Like a butterfly I take flight

Heyy,
okay im gonna do white. My favourite colour!
^_^
-----------------------------------------------
The colour white -->

The colour white,
So clear and bright,
The heaven's walls,
The snow that falls,
The wings of angels,
The shimmery shells,
The pearls and beads,
The gracious deeds,
The clouds up high,
The doves that fly,
The colour of peace,
That needs to release
------------------------------------
Haha okay, might not make complete sense but whatever. Hope you like it. Buhbye!
