hiya,
your writing is addictive and most of what you write i dont get, and i love the 5-7-5 form. again this is one of those pieces, although i do have an interpretation of this piece which i cant say.

It always amazes me how a writer can use so few words
Yet release such a strong meaningful statement
as you just done.
Thank you for sharing.

The writer does a good job of getting the point across. The writer says so much using so little words as the emotion comes out through the words.

Yes, this is one poem to try to understand man does enjoy evils that aren't the greatest thing to do morally, etc. though finds pleasure still the same in doing so.

I admired the extreme contrast between the "black pleasure" and the "white joy." Your tiny 5-7-5 is quite thought provoking. Cheers- Joan

I did not remember the reinforcing picture and am glad you re-posted this compelling poem. More cheers- Joan

Happy with short-lived
Dark, illusive, black pleasure
If tasted white joy!

Welcome to FS Alcreator. I enjoyed reading you post and found it to be very progressive. Awesome if I might say so.

The pure joy of indulging in "sins". Yes, that joy does not sustain. Your contrasts work well and good word choices, especially "illusive" Thanks for sharing :) Lise

A wonderfully written 5-7-5 formatted poem about short lived pleasure. Nice juxtaposition of black and white. Joy, so elusive at times. Your question, black or white? The tension becomes palpable.

Congrats. Looks like you got sponsored.

hi, the poem apparently talk of the two emotions, the two sides of the coin. if you want to enjoy the bounties, the scarcities provide the contrast.thanks for sharing

good, ironic use of colors. engagement w/taboo pleasures brings short-lived happiness to the dark imbiber , but when indulged, bring a flash of white ( good) joy. at least good to the perceiver.
