Purple
I write poems
in green ink,
but I prefer
purple.
Bruised clouds
on an evening sky,
dark depths
of a rainbow glow,
Northern Lights
singing at the deep
end of their scale …
or just a desire
to be different …
slightly different ..
as if that one thing,
the color of my ink,
might tip the scales
and turn me
from mediocrity
to celebrity
with a wave
of a violet wand.
or the click
of a pair
of ink-stained
fingers.
A relatable premise; I have the same issues with fonts. I think the font I use will make people see my words more clearly when in fact they remain exactly what they were.

Yup: I have multiple pens. I am positive that each one will help m write a little better. Same old scrawl … Thanks for visiting.

I like this. It’s somehow refreshing.

I change pens and ink colors when writing in my journal. That helps change my ideas, refreshing them, as you say. Love the headband on your page today, pale purple!

Thanks, John. At my desk in the Red Room at KIRA a year ago. I have lost weight since then

Life has its purple patches … and there’s nothing wrong with them. This poem emerges directly from the purple writing in the previous blog, incidentally. The words re-arranged on the page and strengthened slightly.
