hope:
a burning spark of purity in a greying hue
as a golden sun rises after an age of gloom,
to push green growth across parched umber.
Vocal chords awaken after an extended slumber,
remembering songs that weave into lightness,
causing constricting thoughts to loosen their tightness.
This, coupled with the metallic tang of clarity, when all around
white noise roars in muffled tones; a bitter cloud
of jet-jade jealousy pulsing about a crystalline sound
that tells you to just hold on for one more moment
despite the odds that you will show them:
eyes opening wide, looking beyond any past errors 
you are a being of energy, you can overcome any terrors. 
Little edit: I keep reading this in the way the Team Rocket Theme/Motto is delivered :faint:

Welcome to Understood-Accepted's



The conce


I decided to use the format of a colour poem, which I discovered through SilverInkblot's piece TealTeal
waters worry the pristine
sand, washing blank paper
into a bevy of tidepools.
The hush of the surge whispers
its song into conch shells;
the tinge of brine mingles
with coconut milk and dried
seaweed clumping the beach.
Hermit crabs dot the strand
like constellations, waiting
for soothsayers to read meaning
into their trails before the waves
wash them away like comets.
- instead of a colour, I went with a feeling, and boy oh boy was this hard. Don't get me wrong, a lot of fun, but difficult. I think I got it right, but it's difficult to separate out taste, sound, feel etc when for an emotion they often roll into one!

Format: 

Line 1 - Your color
Lines 2, 3, 4 - things your color looks like
Lines 5, 6, 7 - things your color sounds like
Lines 8, 9, 10 - things your color tastes like
Lines 11, 12, 13 - things your color feels like
Line 14 - sum it all up.

If you give one of these a go yourself, please link me to it as I'd love to read it!!
