Click hereI have trouble.....
staying in the lines.
The grass ain't always green,
and that ain't Dick and Jane.
What color is love?
Hate really a darker shade?
A whole box of emotions,
Crayola never made.
I have palettes plenty
my canvas where I've been.
Don't paint me in a corner
that's where the lines begin.
This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 35,000 poems.

I've said it before, how you know this is good because you want the poet to continue on...
As someone who's always found difficulty "staying in the lines", in regard to both coloring and emotions, i very much enjoyed this. Especially:
"Don't paint me in a corner
that's where the lines begin."
Lovely. :)
and it has so much more potential. You should get out the crayons and color this a little more.
