When Opposites Attract

The Perfect Blend

by Jessica Wheeler

Short and Colorful Contest Winner 

 
His practical and thoughtful way
It's either day or night,
With barely any shades of grey,
His views are black and white.
 
She has a multicoloured blend
Of pinks, and greens, and blues,
A reaching rainbow to extend,
Delighting with her hues.

Pragmatic thinkers often feel
Confined to their black ink,
While feelers' colors might conceal
Their longing just to think.

A one-track mind begins to stray
Outside those narrow lines,
While dreamer's hues shall not betray
A search for solid signs.
 
Upon a sturdy, steady stand,
His canvas black or white,
Will lighten up when colors land,
And tone down ones too bright.
 
When passion paints in reason's mind,
And logic heals in heart,
Within this balance, you will find
A wondrous work of art.
