So, this assignment was to write a poem based on a color. Here's mine.
White.
Blank.
Vacant.
Hollow.
My life
is an empty notebook
waiting to be filled.
But it never will.
My life
is white as eggs
that you open to find
lifeless.
My life
is white as a clock face.
Time ticking ever by,
while the countenance stays
unchanged.
I am
an empty page,
a shell,
a framework.
White.
Blank.
Vacant.
Hollow.
