#TankaTuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 292, 10/4/22: #Tastetherainbow-Color Poetry

The
colour
of rage is
like a red rose
yet never as sweet.
purple to black temper
I go, when all things go wrong
love is soft, inside a white cloud
why not live like a cloud, soft inside…

This week I chose a red rose to go with Anita’s nonet poem for #Tanka Tuesday

    I often imagine floating in the clouds. They are beautiful in the Prescott area of AZ. Your poem captures the softness so perfectly.

    This is beautiful, Anita. This is a good analogy: “The colour of rage is like a red rose yet never as sweet.” 🌹

          I do, Colleen… Life has taken away her health, but not her ability to write, thank goodness…
