I love the conclusion of "the wolf in me." People who have a strong feeling for justice see things as "black and white." So it's understandable. But as another poet said, black has all the colors. Yet, symbolically black and white has had that evil and good meaning.
Sorry to miss another contest!

I'm trying to help you get your 15 reviews for recognized status - so frustrating when you're this close!

I like this a lot - darkness and light, day and night, evil and good - all come to mind with these "colors".

Are you referring to the photographer when you say the Wolfe in you?

Nice presentation of black and white:-)

    Thank you so much Pam for reading, reviewing and your great comments. I wasn't aware that a photographer was named Wolfe, it was a name when I saw the picture.

This is a very well written poem about your favorite color, or should I say your two favorite colors. You used very good descriptive words and very good imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Your color poem works perfectly with the artwork. Author information is hidden but your spelling in the last line makes me think that perhaps Wolfe is your last name? A clever conclusion if that's the case. Well done.

Of course black and white are not colours at all, but you made me realise that those stark recollections are like chalk and cheese, opposites like Jekyll and Hyde! Much fun, love Dolly x

good job at this poem; I like your choices, black and white. I also like how you link them to concepts of good and evil. If I were writing this I would write about the Blue and Red Divisions of the country.

I am enamored with this poem. I love the melody that your dictions sing throughout my mouth and mind as I read it. And then the surprising rhymes that pop up at the perfect moment moments. I didn't notice any rhymes until later in the poem because they are so well written they don't stick out like nettles in the grass. They slip down easily like silken wine. And then, just when I think you have finished with your brilliance, no. Your last line is the chaser...the chocolate. What a delicacy you have created! (I am out of 6's...so sorry.)

Do wolfs see in black and white... I wonder...A nicely thought provoking poem.

Sparkling in your poem:
-Clean and clear lines
-Nice representations of opposites, unsaturated colours.

Thanks for this night visionary poem. Lovely.
