Purple
I pen poems
in emerald ink
but I prefer
the violence of evening’s
bruised violets
wind-beaten clouds
add dark depths
to a rainbow
a glow of satisfaction
flutters northern lights
the setting sun
hums low notes
to cello
and double bass
Comment: I like this, but I prefer the re-write. If you wish to express your preference, I would be glad to receive it. This is the third revision. Click here to read the first posted version of Purple. Any comments on the evolution of the poem would also be welcomed.
Purple
violent
evening’s
bruised violets
wind-beaten clouds
move through dark depths
a rainbow arcs
an iris curve
northern lights
flicker organ music
fugues of color
sound into light
low notes hum
bring tears to the eye
cello and double bass
serenade a setting sun

Thanks for commenting, Abbie. Yes, here’s something resonates between the emerald ink and the pea-green boat. I tried to eliminate the “I” from the poem. Perhaps it’s better left in. I’ll think about this.
