Two friends of mine, they had a fight
Both asked of me to take their side
It was foolishly that I did decide
I’ll never forget that day of white
The snow on the ground was such a sight
The coldness and bitterness of the air
To what I was feeling could not compare
Between my friends I had to choose
Not realizing what I would lose
I thought that one could not be right
But I could not see both sides that night
And now that I have lost a friend
Something that I can never mend
I’ve made the choice to everyday
See all the sides, the shades of gray
Kate, your poem was really creative. I loved how it was organized: black, then white, then finally gray. Also, your diction made both of the first two stanzas portray the same emotions, even though they were based on opposite colors. It sounds like you touched on a deep subject. The last two lines are extremely strong, and they wrap it up nicely. Awesome job!
