GREY BEAUTY
Were this flower red we would gaze at its redness,
Viewing its colour with wonder and awe.
Were this flower gold we would gaze at its goldness
Describing as 'brilliant' the colour we saw.
But this flower is grey so we notice its pattern,
The curves of the petals, the stripes and the shade,
The jewel at the centre, the sheen and the shimmer!
Colourless, what a design it has made!

Nice poem and seeing the photo reminds me of something our Granddaughter asked one day. When did everything turn to color in the world. We asked what she meant and she said, well all the older photos and movies are black and white. So I guess you didn't have anything in color then. We explained there has always been colors in the world, it's just they didn't have film to capture the colors. I never thought that perhaps a child in this day and age might think the world was in black and white.
Another well written, well thought out poem.
I thought for a minute it was a passion flower... loved the poem.
Your poem really moved me. I would like to be a Grey Beauty, and I'm not talking about my hair!
Sunny :)
