I am a dabbler when it comes to poetry and I did not know about this form of micropoetry called Sidlak – I like it Vashti Quiroz-Vega shares her contribution to Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday #Poetry Challenge and I loved it.

All a dream
that ends in nothing,
and leaves me longing for you.
If only I could live in my mind.

This style of micropoetry is called Sidlak. It’s a structured poetry consisting of 5 lines with 3–5–7–9 syllables and a color. The last line must be a COLOR that describes the whole poem or the feelings of the writer.
I had a lot of fun with this style, especially when I had to come up with a color at the end. I love colors. When I see a person I often see a color associated with that person. And I’m not talking about race. I speak of a color that ties into their overall nature. Colors have also been proven to affect people’s moods.
Writing poetry helps me unwind and it’s a great way…
