Color My World

Color My World

Color my world gray, for depression
has me in its grasp and will not
loosen its grip. I struggle
to see brilliant colors
beyond the gray mist.
The colorful
images
remain
as
a
hazy
memory,
ever taunting
me to burst through the
ominous darkness that
hovers all around my world,
clouding my judgment, blinding me
to the rainbow just beyond the mist.

A Nonet is a poem with nine lines. Line one has nine syllables, line two has eight syllables, and on like that until the ninth line, which is only one syllable.

A Double Nonet reverses the order in the second verse.

Rhyming is not necessary. The main emphasis should be on imagery and the flow of the thoughts throughout the poem.
