COLORFULL WOMAN




I'm no longer that pretty pink
Resting passively on white paper
So light but not bright, barely visible
A quiet adornment overshadowed
By other colors of might
I've allowed myself to blend
To flow into bolder values
That add essence to my pink
Creating something stark, noticeable, undefinable
Beauty and ugliness clash as my identity evolves
Mystery of becoming lives always in me
While pink, my love, remains the core of all
That I will ever be

(For Poets United.  Sending love to all women.  Let us celebrate each other.)

  5. Layers: "Creating something stark, noticeable, undefinable"
    How very powerful, even with that inner pink.

  12. Thank you, Myrna, for this poem, which speaks to me, on so many different levels, of my soul. Personally, blue will always be my colour, especially, baby blue. As it intertwines itself, with hot pink, on the transgender flag.

  14. Great poem, Myrna. Most people tend to forget that pink combines strong, elemental, primary red of the life force and white - the colour of the brightest light and which contains all colours within it...
