Seeking to #describe #Color – v2 #poetry #writingpoetry

In so many poems, too many to number,

seeking to describe color, to explain,
nuance, variations, shades, and hues,
textures even, weight, and wetness…
 
Speaking in language of senses, of truth, finality,
when there is no anchor, whimsy only,
no scale to measure, no frame of reference,
no gage, no wheel, really, nothing to reference…
 
So much is subjective, proprietary language,
a palette for merchandise, another for nature,
living color on a canvas, on living sculpture,
in living things, creatures, in the natural world…
 
In shapes, alive in the moment, my experience,
in woods, on the seashore, in frozen images,
too many to number, striving, yearning,
to make the color, the words just right…
