Pastels may shield our true colours. - Michelle Liew

**********************************************************************

She

wears

pastel shirts

clear and bright,

shield for the weary

hiding the cracks within her soul.

**********************************************************************

She

halts,

brush dropped

colours wane-

painted life not hers

a stranger in her fractured world.

    Wow, excellent job. The way you paint with your words should be studied. Love your take on the challenge glad you are trying it out.

    A new challenge. Thanks BTW, This is absolutely lovely, pastels can be flattering if worn properly. They do hide flaws, kind of like black does.

  • This is inviting and frail: I love how you paint with words!
