SureshG said:

Truth is colorless, you see right through it.
Some say I’ve never told a truth in my life, and so your poetic term will do, truth be told

If Truth was a Colour
MendedFences27 said:

There is an artist\'s palette for all of the truths to be told. One of every shade and hue. You have chosen \"blue\" and as though something sad or disheartening, having to do with the ocean or sky. has happened. Traveling, maybe to a sad affair.
One cannot speak of sadness in any color but \"blue\", and could not speak of happiness in that same tone.
There are simply too many truths and too many colors for the artist to speak or paint a \"Truth\" that pleases everyone.
If you ended your poem, would it be that \"blue is for ocean, and sky, and sadness.\"?
Wow! It\'s hard to believe that so few words in your poem can stir so much emotion. It must be that a central nerve has been awakened. Every comment will now expound on their chose of color for their emotions. You have stirred the hornets nest.- Phil A.

Sorry, I am color blind. All truth to me is grey, maybe. Like the thoughts behind it.

Love it. Although not all truth is blue sometimes honesty is a nice shiny yellow

Doggerel Dave said:

I Confess blue to be my favorite colour - at least during the first half of my life.
Now - not so sure.
But your poem neatly has Early Dave well and truly in it\'s pocket, Neville.

Yes I see it as silvery blue - - colour is deep in its meaning as are your thoughts in these lines Nev -- what a perfect hue to choose for truth........x

dusk arising said:

I wish truth were black and white with no room for misinterpretation.....
However, blue seems to be, as you say, the inevitability of truth.

Short and punchy verse get my vote every time.

To tell more would be to spoil it, I think, Neville. Best leave it right there, as you so carefully did.

Once Upon a Freckled Cheek
L. B. Mek said:

this was scarily reminiscent
of a crisp clear, cherished memory
I keep close
in those corridors of our heart\'s
where Time, can\'t blemish the sanctity
of a moment that exists
to reaffirm our tethers: to existence, itself...
utilising sumptuous imagery, my friend
a wonderful read

Once Upon a Freckled Cheek
Fay Slimm. said:

Thrilling as ever your best \"rainbow moment\" with I suspect a new family member.......... such a tender-packed bouquet of poetic wealth to keep and remember forever - - - or maybe the verse recalls another time of first smiles when a different amour struck afresh -- - - I love how the last line ends ........x

Riding a Curve
L. B. Mek said:

\'Was like
riding a curve ..
Set in stone
upon a simple
eyelash flutter\'..
see now, that\'s that Poetry: that can never be replicated
merely copied and imitated...
simply, and as ever subtly: Brilliant!
thanks for sharing my friend
