White Crayon Poem by Jaya Das

White Crayon

Rating: 5.0


Akin to seven colors
I was the white crayon
They filled their silhouette
Splendid and bright
Alas! My head turned broad
Leaving a blank canvas drawn
Staying among motley wax
My endeavors were hidden,
Unseen, unborn
Proceeding the book of life
Came a day in the halfway
When eyes stuck on the black page
Finger lingering through all
From the box of crayons,
I was picked!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
we all have few people in our life, whom we don't show that consideration and gradually their worth is lost somewhere. They quench their desires for our sake but we don't realise. But, a time comes in life when we have to confront the harsh situations, we don't want to and in those times, their worth is unveiled in front of our eyes! so think of them once and say it to your heart who is that person.

Jaya, this is a great poem. It is a reminder of how we should acknowledge those who are important. Too often, however, I suspect the person in question has gone and the opportunity evaporates. Again, a wonderful poem.
