White is not a Color

a Man can be a Father
but, it takes
a Special person to be a Daddy


Poem Artwork

Daddy...as of dandelions
white is not a color, but of purity
my visions floating
like gentle white winged angels

Such is sitting on Daddy's knee
asking for quarter...
popcorn and a Saturday matinee
at the neighborhood theatre

Turn around...on the same knee
keys to the car for a slumber party
at best friend's house, of course
boys to cruise

Then return to Daddy's knee
for
a dress to the Prom

Off to college,
words of wisdom from Daddy's knee
A wedding,

now with children of my own

Am I now too grown up for Daddy's knee?
Never,

Cause that is just where you can fine me

Happiness Always for his Special day
and far beyond...
When White is not a Color, but of Purity

Ah, white. An achromatic hue of maximum lightness, purity, the essense of cloud like form. Dandelions floating by, all so lovely, Lady Vivian.

There are many shades of white and one is transparent like your poem.

Loved the verses, pure poetry. I have always heard that black is not a color; a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them to the eyes. But then, whadda I know?
