Temptations

 The Sunday Muse #182





The  shades ,

Tinged with

Many greys are 

Carved in the psyche 

Inked in darkness 

And a bit of righteousness 

A  pandemic 

Shuttles inbetween them 

Harvesting thoughts 

Deeped in ivy blue.

The shades,

Are capable of

Pushing over the cliff

In phases,

Sometimes they

Rain rainbows

To balance the moods.

  2. That panedemic is threaded through everything. And it will be with us a while yet.

  3. It's a fine line that we all walk every day, but that line has seemed awfully thin for an awful long time. Good write, Sunita.

  7. You gave the image a perfect voice, using the shades of the image itself.
