Gray Is Beautiful Comments

Rating: 4.9

You shape my bones into your hunting coat.
Rain slants like needles through the falling air.
The field is vast with the old blood of leaves.
Fire in the windows warms my eyes to sleep.

cannot find 'indigo' yet. but read this one. black is beautiful too, then its not. this is a very uplifting poem on a gray day here brightened up by the coloured cloths-pegs hanging on a line against a background of bare wintry trees. honoured at your request. i'm sure your beyond all this 10 stuff but you can have as many as you want from me. take care and sail on, john

'i cry its incandescence through my dreams' truly grey is beautiful...for it has both black and white... and light and dark.....

Love the first line in particular because it has one of the characteristics of divinity which is novelty. Thank you again for feeding me. Blessings, Bill Grace

Soothing panorama; smoke from an eastern funeral pyre, signalling an end?

An enchanting title. I wondered what I'd find.... A warm, reassuring piece about protective love and minimalist colour. It reminds me of lying in bed after a bad dream with mum beside me stroking my hair till I fall asleep. Your images are timeless - the wind of dawn - I feel your fingers mend my broken wings. Superlative piece, Sandra. love, Allie xxxx

Sandra... this is the most arresting poem I've read in a long while, and I've read some beauties. From the first line, I feel transported. There is such life in every word... Thank you so much. Esther: ]

This poem is very good. It has 'a gray mood', but gray here is really beautiful.

Your images are so unified and connected, so beautiful - it would be a shame to comment on one, lest I slight another. I think I'll have to settle for going out in the evening, raising a hand to heaven - saying, 'Thank You for Sandra.' - not quite daring to anticipate the winds of dawn, since that might rob me of my love of the beautiful gray evening. Absolutely marvelous.
