I like the flow in your lines and the strong rhyming couplets
and love the whimsy of the visuals you so fancifully create in your opening stanzas
In the second half you issue a most impassioned cautionary warning. Brooke :-)

    Thank you for this nice review of my silly poem. I guess I couldn't decide to be serious or funny. Maybe both or neither.

This is a very meaningful poem. I particularly like the way your choosing colours to portray the message you deliver and again using the same notations to deliver the advise at the end. "start every day that has begun
before the colors start to run."
I noticed when reading your poems that you (too) criticize the modern world...?

    Thank you for your positive review. However, I would like to note that I do not criticize the modern world. I accept it as a transition to something better or at least to suggest a better world where truth is worshiped over all deception. Evolution is the process of gradual change over time. Revolution is sudden change and disruption. To criticize is not necessarily to find fault. One can use constructive criticism to suggest change or to justify the status.

fastdigits,
your poem is well written and rich in imagery. You make effective use of the poetic devices alliteration and metaphor in your writing. Your rhymes are great and descriptive writing is very good. I especially enjoyed the lines: "To fight the trend I would defend below the beauty that I send -- all things I should not mention are outside God's intention. I make no jest of nature's best eschew the beasts and all the rest build up the shore and long before
erosion takes its toll." Your poem is excellent. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend.
Melissa.

Yes the art work is excellent.I feel these words are very clever. The change would be different, but I like our earth as it is.

    Honeytree, I failed in my attempt to present the world as it is. I was distracted by what we believe it to be.

With all the pollution and the contamination in the world today your images of blue days and green night may become reality. I like the poem because it brings to mind the environmental issues that are so critical in our lives today. the meter is consistent and the rhyme pattern is good but the content is what gives it its strength. Nicely done.

I don't know about nonsense here. My granddaughter has Asperger's Syndrome, a spectrum of Autism. This is the kind of topsy turvy way she expresses things.

    I know about Asperger's. I am not afflicted. Thank you for the review.

I don't feel I got all of the meaning in this poem but that's Ok with me. I understood most of it and certainly enjoyed the clever rhymes. I like the last couple of lines about getting on with the day and the colors running. Your poem has a sense of joy and urgency. Well done.

    Thank you. I did not intend everyone to get every nuance. That is the essence of art.

    Thank you. I chose the art after constructing the poem. It hit me as soon as I saw it and was a perfect adjunct to the first line.
