To Colour, or Not to Colour [Unintended Poem]

in editedbyclay •  7 years ago 

While discussing monochrome photography and art, I unintentionally made a comment—spilling my logical process all over General chat—that would later be transformed. See, there's a phenomenon that regularly occurs over on @thewritersblock Discord Server. Your words are watched and edited into unintended poems by the lovely @damianjayclay!

Poems like this:


To Colour, or Not to Colour

 

I think photography works
the same in black and white
as art work, which is that
the piece should seem complete
without colour, but as though
the mind can be tricked
to think that there is.

If that makes sense?

The various shades of grey
and the contrasting
should make it look
like it has colour.

Beautiful poem.
I love how this one has captured your natural voice and the cuts make you pause, reconsider it and then it truly hits the real meaning, somehow.
Thank you for sharing, Anike. And thank you for editing, damianjayclay!

Thanks, Noby! The great thing about the unintendeds is the raw voice 3B captures. The unedited logical process of a theme that brings authenticity to the poems.

And to think this poem was "unintended"😄😆
It speaks a truth about photography, regardless of the "colour of the picture".
I'd like to join the discord group. This seems my kinda family.

You're welcome to any time!

Thank you 😁
