I’ve wallowed in the grey
I just seem to fade with age
I need to be brave today

I need a dose of green
I want to see colors true
I will admit, it does seem
I’ve at least known blue

I want to learn of red
I will throw it on a wall
I may fear what lies ahead
I do, though, want it all

I will scribble in yellow
I’ll paint a purple picture
I erase beige without sorrow
I need a new color mixture

I begin with colors dark
I’ll work my way to light
I’ll find orange as I embark
I see less black and white

I’ll create sunsets in peach
I’ll dabble with silver and gold
I do think they are within reach
I just hope I’m not too old

I will boldly try colors anew
I am done with living dull
I long to paint in different hues
I shall fill my palette full

Very strong link here. It was quite conducive with the rich sense of colour and texture you 'painted'.

Extremely well done.

First let me say WOW.

This was expertly executed. Each line complimented the other the rhyming was right on the mark.

The title summarized the poem. It is and was excellent.

I'm astounded with this one and can't praise it high enough.

Beautiful write. So very expressive, and an inventive way of saying how you feel. We demonstrate such a broad spectum of emotions, this captures it so well.
