Look
Through a door we delve
Into an invisible
World without color.
Fog lies low over the grass
Hiding summer underneath.

This reminds me both of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. As though the world we are in is suddenly unreal or changed. Interesting piece.
Jaya Avendel
I love your perspective!

Loved it! Your poetry is magical! You should think about collaborating with writers (if you are not doing so already) and get your poetry in fantasy novels. Really would suit that vibe.
Jaya Avendel
I would love to have my poetry featured in fantasy novels! That is something I am constantly working toward. 🙂

This reminds me of walking to work early in the mornings, there was a park near my old home where the fog would drift over the grass – it was always so otherworldly and pretty 🙂 Nice one!
Jaya Avendel
Oo, what a pretty picture you conjure to my mind! Thank you.
Jenny in Neverland
This seems like it belongs in a Fantasy novel about magic!
Jaya Avendel
That is a splendid thought!

Beautiful poem! Thought proving and I agree that it can have several meanings. The way I look at it, we need to take better care of our environment. I can’t imagine not seeing the vibrant colors of summer.
