Thread: The Most Vivid Color

Everyone in my lit. class had to create a portfolio of their work and give it a creative name and theme. I named mine "The Most Vivid Color" and decorated it all black and stuff. I wrote this poem for my portfolio.

The most vivid color
The brightest of all
Deep and complex
To fill minds with awe

Its intricate veins
Have covered vast regions
What once was created
For another’s completion

A dark picture’s bright
A black swamp is vivid
To birds in their flight
Who’ve seen it and lived it

A color you’ve seen
A color that’s keen
A color that shouts
And whispers of dreams

The color of black
Against pale, white paper
A beautiful word
Or two for your thoughts

The color of poems
And novels and speeches
The color of text
From the mind of a genius

The most vivid color
The brightest of all
Deep and complex
To fill minds with awe

Hi there Isaiah,

Loved this.

It reads with a touch of my old world, and your changes in rythmn and rhyme seem to add a certain innocence and honesty.

You have a talent.

Ian

Thanks Ian!

straight forward, and to the point. I got the theme and sentiment of the poem almost immediately! I love it and I hope you continue to write.

Hi Isaiah

I'm a big fan of black. Most of my clothes seem to be that colour so I enjoyed your choice of theme. Personally I like a poem that either rhymes all the way through or doesn't rhyme at all but that's a personal preference as my poor brain gets easily confused. Enjoyed, thanks.
