Difference.
Praise for all variation,
that diversified play of colour and shape
which takes away sameness
and paints nature with sheer tessilation.
Hooray for the patchwork
of harlequin stripes in mackerel-hue sky
or bold chequered blotches
embroidered on coats of every dalmatian.
Applause for bright hues
shot through peacocks and each rainbow,
streaks in pied-ponies,
marbling of stone, the frets in wide bands
on speckled trout, braided
tattoos over the backs of zebras and tigers
flecked with a motely
collection of artistically peppered mosaics.
Smile at tri-colours
in butterflies and pibald frogs created to
reflect luminous wet.
Be awed by kaleidoscope difference and
for all irridescence
seen in the glorious abundance of nature
give inner praise.

A lovely colourful poem Fay. The spring light adds colour to everything. Phil.G
We are so blessed to have such a retinal display. Great!
Diversity is what makes life worth living. It is God's artwork. No two humans the same. the breadth of colors and shapes in Nature that stimulate the eye, and Man's multitude of creations that we call art, all add to and give reason for living. A lovely poem, Fay, that captures and expounds on that glory of "Difference." - Phil A.
Beautiful, colourful write.
