A Poem On White

Rating: 5.0


white
the otherside of black
colour less
mixed with anything,
makes shades lighter.
pure
pious
pristine white.
a symbol of purity
in the attire of a saint.
a dress code for school
mark of sophistication
a unwanted symbol,
for a widow.
a starched priests robe,
a white overcoat of doctor
delightful white dress
of the angel.

white
a roaring surf,
hitting the rocks, in ocean
a white crane ready to sweep,
puffy clouds of white,
in the sky
an owl white and
a dove white,
two tiny butterflys white,
flitting and flirting,
with whiteness of
african daisy,
and scented white flowers
of summer.

whiteness of white
porcelaine vase
a paper white
milk white for baby,
love poems on white paper.

some white lies,
some truths white
white washes,
white faces
white stains.
white statues,
white virtues
white in all,
all in white.

white
diamond, ring
for beloved, white.
a cooling white moonstone
a soothing white rose
on the grave
a jasmine white for lover

a stately white
a lady in white
a ghostly white
a shroud in white.

universal colour
this white.
stands out amongst
all colours a
as symbolic peace
many splendour of white,
gives crystaline delight
white being white.!

A very interesting write on colour white, it's good that you have chosen to ignore the vices of white, God bless and wish white will grow to its name and exhibit all these qualities!

Even white can have its many shades as all of your examples exemplify. You have certainly provided us with a lot of pictures of white.

So much thought has gone in to white and your examples are excellent. Lately, I have been favoring white for some furniture as it looks stunning on jarrah floors. White also expands and this is one of the reasons I like it so much! 10 love Karin

It is generally said that black and darker shades absorbs light, while white reflects! As yesterdays sinners have turned into today's saints! A well written poem on 'white' Ritty! 10! -Raj
