Scattering words
I pick them up one by one
Put it into my magic box
Pour a barrel of paint
The same of my soul's color
Sometimes black, sometime blue
May be red or something new
Shake well up and down
Take them out as small blocks
Put them out to dry
Build them into small lines
Two or three, inspired by a theme
They take some shape
Of a Hero (Villain) an imaginary game
What they are, you see
Is what really defines me
Where all these coming from?
Cogito ergo sum
thank you for the explanation which I knew that you had meant, but a barrel of 'paint' is something cloudy to me, as we are not in the ancient time and have evolved from being barbaric to modern and then to the technocrats. when many of our friends here have agreed upon your views, what is the big deal of me objecting the metaphor that you have used, so I still stick to the objection and I wish you good luck...
Many many Congratulations on your recognition of this poem of the day...! ! !
Since you insist on me clarifying, Let me make it clear Ma'am. First of all I have used color, instead of colors, that makes it singular, hence the meaning implied that there is only one color. Here in this poem, what I have meant by color is emotion. I can only have one emotion at a time. Secondly, magic box is my mind, color is emotion and I think by shaking up and down well. In addition to that we know in ancient times, artists used to mix colors to get the desired ones. They were neither aware of the modern chemical reaction symbolisms nor had labs to work out. Wherever they needed of new colors they mixed it. I hope I have clarified Thanks for the comment again Magic Box
