decadence
pink raspberry rhyme of sky
in a slice of winter window
pie-faced and pretty
and asking nothing
in return
no one ever said
a clean slate
was required
to be grey

You know, I have never looked at it from that angle before. So now I have something to think about and who would of thought I would find that in a simply beautiful poem?

Such a lovely little poem, and the image looks just like the sunset I watched last night. You have captured it well with your words.

the word decadence means CHOCOLATE to me, so it was
a surprise when the words pink raspberry opened the thoughts. chocolate? my cure for anything!

Great opening line on the color of the sky ~ I believe I say it today too ~
The second one, its more hopeful, despite the dreary color of gray ~

the first line is so pretty and sweet smelling:palpable poetry,
and the Tabula rasa exit
is a fine way to finish with a smart flourish

Ah, this is what happened when I’m late to Mr. Linky 🙁 Everyone has already said what I was going to say. So i’ll just say I liked it. Especially how the last part dovetails to the point.
