A poem for those colorless days when the world looks like a black and white photograph.

black and white days




The world is etched in black-and-white

a charcoal painting, an old-time movie

of simpler days

The streets are empty, the houses asleep

The trees watch in silence as time passes by

unmarked by clocks and schedules

Time is released from her boundaries

free to roam untethered

on this black and white day

where winter has come to play
