Looking for color
Seems there is none to be found
None even fleeting
None even fleeting
Daydreaming head in the cloud
Colors painted loud
Colors painted loud
Against this brick solid wall
Maybe there’s a crack
Maybe there’s a crack
In the canvas of my heart
A masterpiece found
A masterpiece found
May yield to color in sense
No way through to you
No way through to you
Dreams are askew, hazy
Black eyes seem shallow
Black eyes seem shallow
Without knowledge of color
My fears become true
My fears become true
White you, Black me, muddled
Looking for color

This Duet was written with an amazing WP blogger Johnny check out his Haiku Spill #6, his weekly music link up, poetry and other Duets on his blog pages.
He also writes here: here
with other WP bloggers. They are looking for a few more voices to join them.

Thank you for the link/pingback for the Talllulah Devine project. Great Haiku collboration.
No problem Dawn, isn’t that what we should do…support each other in this BIG world of ours?!!
Absolutely! Your Haiku’s have inspired my Haiku advent this year :o)
Really?!! I’m blown away by that…just a lovely compliment 😀
It’s true, I love Haikus but I don’t think I’m very good at them but I was inspired by your blog to give them another go! :o)
You are wonderful…I’ve seen some but crazy WP does NOT keep my following in the reader 😦 I’m glad to know you are stepping out of your comfort zone!! That is what I’m doing here on WP.
Thank you, that brought a littel tear to my eye too. Thank you for the compliment and the encouragment.
Tears over here too…thank you for your encouragement too. The Beatles were right, All We Need Is LOVE!
I like the ‘spill over’. Very effective. Lovely poem. x
Thanks but that’s Johnny’s term. It was my idea to make his last line to become my first line and the first line to be the last line…it was fun to collaborate with someone. I have asked several people on WP since I started my blog at the end of October, Johnny is the first one to follow through 🙂
I love the spilling concept! What a great collaboration.
Thank you for peeking in beautiful one 🙂
Just beautiful, as always!
Thank you beautiful one 🙂 cheers!
It looks like it was so easy… I had fun, thank you. 🙂
If I have said it once, I will say it a thousand times – beautiful & powerful – Such a talent you have – Cheers J
J you are so sweet to me…Johnny did the odd numbers, I the even ones…so it wasn’t just me. 🙂
🙂 Will make sure I check out his other work! Cheers J
Stare through the white and you’ll discover its all colors in one we came to know as light.. Beautiful Poetry.. 🙂
Yes and thank you for peeking in 🙂 cheers!
Love this. nice collaboration
Thank you kindly. It was fun and Johnny is a real writer, I just pretend 😉
I’d not say that at all about you, we all just have different styles. Keep up the good work
He makes his living writing, I’m just a Momma to 10 human creatures and 3 pups!
that’s perspective 🙂 But the importance of our words lies not in what monetary gain, but in emotional gain, from our expression, and sometimes from the reaction of others. For me, it’s about expression. And you express yourself well.
Thank you for that lovely compliment 🙂 cheers to you!
Amazing and Thank you for writing which is quite good and best wishes always, and greetings. Kindness blossoms in your heart
Thank you kindly. I hope you visit Johnny’s pages too 🙂
I love it! Especially that last haiku! 😀
Thank you Eva…the last one is mine 🙂 Johnny started so his are the odd ones and mine are the even ones…my idea was the first line…and to use the last line of each as the new first line…oh, and also to use the first line as the final last line…and the picture….and the black and white theme…hmmm, I’m wondering if Sir Johnny was in this…JK! It was fun writing with him. He’s a cool dude. Now he and Dawn are trying to talk me into writing on their other project as the Haiku dog…..
You’re welcome. I could tell that one was yours. Your poetry and the way you word things is very unique. ^_^ I love poetry collaboration. Well done!
I was kidding about Johnny…we tried to write something before and he thought my comment was my 4 lines of verse…it was quite comical!
Lol 🙂 I know you were just joking around. And that’s quite funny! You speak in poetry. Who knows… with the right line breaks almost anything can be a poem? Haha.
That’s what he said…I’m not confident though…slowly, very slow!
Well, you should be! You’re obviously good at what you do. 😀
You are too sweet 🙂 cheers to you!
Johnny’s haiku are great too! Definitely collaborate on more projects with them! 😀 I’d love to see what you all come up with.
Thank you for that encouragement 🙂
Beautiful collaboration! It circled around color perfectly. A few lines/ideas stood out:
“Maybe there’s a crack In the canvas of my heart”;
“Black eyes seem shallow Without knowledge of color”;
and that entire last stanza!
Thank you for peeking in..yes this was a fun collaboration. All done on KIK (a text app) I didn’t see the whole thing until Johnny posted it on Saturday…
