daffodil dreams

[ambitious_wench]

I rarely dream
in black and white
only winter
bleeds the color
from my sight
I cannot blink
and fill the lines
with ocher red
or vibrant green
but there are signs
I've come to seek
the coming spring
is forecast by
the cheerful splash
of yellows, greens
and azure sky
jonquils laughing
upon gray hill.

Very different. What style is it?

Uh, style?

None that I know of, other than for some reason I wanted to have each line contain four syllables. and the occasional almost random rhyming line.

That's the nascent form. I typed it directly into the posting client field as it occured to me. Eventually it will call me back for editing, and I will post an updated version later. Call that the rough-hewn word sculture.
