It isn't usually thought that shadow is as downright cheerful as sunlight.  But look at these blooms.   In light and in shadow they optimistically glow.  Carrots are known to brighten a kitchen.  Lemons, too.  Certain words, too, will brighten or dim a poem.  Color, something you can't quite grasp but it surrounds us -- inside & out.  
out of order
ReplyDeletered, as clear as a city light
(don't get any closer to the host and hostess tonight)
you thin you have a purpose
you imagine yourself in hell
either way the party's outcome
is impossible to tell
just hold me close my darling, hold me
by my very heart
I have nowhere else to go
this inconspicuous start
