Gray

I'm all gray today, not a color nearby
the day sky dimming towards a black afternoon
somewhere between nowhere and goodbye
a boy hums a tune, a lonely lullaby to chase the sun away

Tuesday Title using the line, "Somewhere Between Nowhere and Goodbye"

I wish I could take the boy by his hand and hum with him as he pushes the last rays of sunlight away. You've created such a beautiful image with this title. Nice job. Have a nice day.

I like how you used the dullness of color to evoke a dullness of feeling. You extended the image all the way to the last line.

Cool stuff so far from what I've read. Keep it up.
