Black or White
Choose one color--black or white--and explore the depths of meaning the color has for you. Write a poem that immerses itself in EITHER black or white, but not both. Don't even mention the other color in your poem.
Ideas to spark your writing:
What emotions live inside it?
Where does this color live in unexpected places?
What does this color remember or forget?
Use CONCRETE imagery rather than abstract declarations.
Think about including a surprising metaphor.
Try not to write cliches such as "dark as night" or "pure as snow"
Another idea: write from the perspective of the color: "I am black" or "I am white."
The goal is to make your reader experience black or white as they never have.....through your eyes
I hope that this prompt will make you think, as it will make ME think. I look forward to reading what you come up with!
When you have written your poem, link it with Mr. Linky below. Mr. Linky will stay active until Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Please remember to visit the other poets who share.
