Heya all! I have been down with a terrible flu and couldnot hit this place for gosh(!) three whole weeks.And I missed two poetry busses and many wonderful reads. I will be catching up with all those pretty soon. Here's for one more striking poetry bus challenge given by Colorful Marion and she tells us to write on colors. Here you will find other passengers with their beautiful poems. :) Marion is influenced by yellow and it shows in her brilliant poem.
This one from me:
White
I wonder which white
-I am most fond of
Something in white
-ticks me off
Must be the silky white
-of my wedding gown
Or are those white tulips
-from the neighboring town
It oughto be the white of
-Christmas-stocking’s loaded sock
It gotto be the white of
-pearl under that shiny rock
Could be the milky white
-toothy-grin of her baby
Might be the white bear
-in her musical lullaby
Oh is it the white jumpiness
-to the road to altar
Maybe the white fear when
-caught puncturing a car
Yes it must be my gram’s
-Salt-n-pepper bushy hair
Or is it my granny’s
-buttercream-frosting’s share
Should be the twinkling white
-spread of glittery stars
It could be the white of
-dappled moon’s attar
But mostly it’s idyllic moments
-in every white
Something that strums
-in my heart so bright
& right.

Did somebody say 'buttercream frosting'? Great, now I've got cupcakes on the brain!
Interesting take on the many faces of white. I'm glad the Poetry Bus stopped here!
WORD VERIFICATION: maniart
DEFINITION: what decorates insane asylums
Sorry you haven't been feeling well. :(
I like your poem. One is one of the most complex of colors (being all the visible colors at once).
Who'd have thought there were so many variations on white?
Great to have you back!
@Eric :D Thank you for that kind comment and oh-yes the word verification :)
Njoy those cupcakes...mmmmmm now I need some too...yummy :)
@Jason Sure it's the most complex yet peaceful colour n its one of my fav:)
I was so restless too get back to this place..missed reading more than writing!
@Peter It's so good to be back.Thank you for that warm welcome.
You've made me see white in a whole new color. Tee-Hee. Thanks for riding the Poetry Bus with me. Blessings!!
@Marion That was a super bus ride with you too.Glad to be on the bus this week :)
So glad to know you are feeling well again ... loved 'Morning Blues' and 'White' opened up a whole new attitude toward the color!
@Helen Thank you so much :)
Excellent. Having tried the excercise myself, and knowing how challenging the task was, I can appreciate it all the more. Excellent. (It deserves at least two of them.)

@Dave You made my day!Thank you so much!It's a big honour to get such warm a compliment from an intellectual poet/writer like you...:)
I enjoyed your musing on white. I liked each interpretation and their differences. I loved the white of the tulips and the baby's teeth. My favourite white is the blue white of snow-in reality but especially in paintings.
So cool a poem for a colour that was a shade less travelled.Bueno!
@Sarah I am glad you enjoyed it :)
I forgot to mention your fav, bcoz somewhere even I like it :)
@TFE Thank you so much :)
