The Colour of Truth

yes, I can see that Pia, or hear it, or feel it.

This has a hypnotic quality about it, Pia. Very beautiful. Tina;-)

As expected, another excellent poem, Pia. Such graceful, thought provoking, senses invoking writing. 'judders' - very nice. The last line is the real triumph: an off-hand statement that is so simple yet so telling, no magniloquence needed to get the beautiful point across. Very well done. S.

Beautifully written Pia, some emotional feelings to this poem. Really enjoyed and thankyou for sharing. Jenny.

Very smooth and ethereal, Pia. You are on a roll. Beautiful to read. Love the ending. Good use of cherries. x

Not at all. I loved it.

you have a knack for stating the profound with simplicity...a rare and beautiful trait :) - alvin

A great little poem, Highhat. The colours are radiant and invite you into their ensemble, and allow you to accept the speed at which you wish to accelerate. Remember, some critics have a penchant for chop-chop, and if you listen too closely re suggested changes, all that may be left is the gristle. You are a very good writer---keep it up. Richard ps. Remember, you are the captain of your ship, author forgotten, perhaps it was John Masefield.

Down into an ocean As blue as my eyes can see Wonderful line, Pia. And I love the word 'judder' I honestly never heard it before. Thanks for the introduction. And so sorry I haven't been around in a while. Life has a way of getting in the way of all the fun things. Rich

Hello again, Pia. I had the words and author wrong in my last response to your lovely poem---The Colour of Truth. It was William Ernest Henley, who wrote these last two lines in his wonderful poem---Invictus: I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul. Google it up, very well written.

Sorry I have had a bit of a hiatus, between courses and family issues. well done on the Cherry. X, a fine piece of work. The use of colour is well crafted and the imagry is lovely. I hope your well? x AD1

Just went on that journey with you - stunning

This is spellbinding.

Fixing me with the sensation...such a great line. It describes that moment of stunned awe, when faced with something that strikes the chord where taking it in feeds our souls. The cherries are well deserved, congrats.
