The way your able to describe a situation with color is impressive to me. I could be wrong so correct me. I feel that the contrast between the gray and green is describing the ''livliness'' of the conversation (since questions are being exchanged) and at the same time the relationship between the two. It also implys a renewal since the contrast is from a shade to color. One of them simple complex things I guess. but like I said correct me..

Chaucer wrote a prayer in the form of a abecedarian poem. The prayer was to the Virgin Mary but written for the Duchess of Lancaster to use.
I'm not too sure if he used it himself.
''The Prayer of Our Lady''
Its an extremely impressive poem you should check out because I get the feeling you are restraining yourself to limited writing space when doing these. Its difficult to convey a message like this. Not that restraints are always bad but I think you deserve a little more slack..
I would need a close dictionary to write each word with starting letters in alphabetical order, one right after another. I'm going to try that one day because you make it look fun. No dictionarys of course
You have a good taste in writing.

Such a long comment for such a short poem! I'm flattered! I can't correct how you preceive what's going on here. A poem is never finished, just abandoned. 
These are just little things I dedicate myself to doing every month because full poems are just not coming to me, I'm too stressed, I'm in a drought. But I'll come out of it. The only restraint I find with these is in the words available to use! But, I'm making more of my own.
Abecedarians [although this isn't one] are a lot of fun and I really enjoy the challenge of them.

People have a better understanding of human nature because of writers like Chaucer who was by the way an appointed Poet Laureate. You can grow with Chaucers work. Its great and easy to find in the library since everyone is into H.P. Lovecraft for some reason. Its a joke really.
There are so many writers that get overlooked now due to the novelty of their names.
Even Poe gets overlooked now compared to Lovecraft. H.P.s life and beliefs were scarier than anything he ever wrote.
Poe is still king of all writers before and after his time.
I hope you come out of that stress soon. Keeping a routine even when your emotions change is a great thing to pratice.

I want to say i'm surprised you know what a Poet Laureate is but I'm more shocked that you didn't think I knew that about Chaucer! LOVE the man, had to study him left to right for English too. I'm very impressed.

We have to keep dead writers alive some how.

I get the e.e. cummings vibe as well- I love his stuff.

I'm not too familiar with his works but I'll definitely have to look him up now.

Very nice. Reminds me of e.e. cummings. I assume that is what you were aiming for? However, I have never heard of abecedarian poetry, but it sounds interesing. You've inspired me to look into it.
I also like the various color that you place throughout the poem. gray and green and red(from the fire.) The colors have no real connotation to them, but you express them as concepts, ideas, and descriptions beyond their usual definition of color. I'm not sure if you were aiming for this, but when I first read this piece, rather than have a more tangible, logical or definable feeling, the colors caused me to feel as if my feelings were more emotional, as if impossible to express. even though I felt this, the message you seemed to express still carried through. great work.
Bravo!

Abecedarian poetry, which I'm sure you know if you've looked it up by now [sorry for the late response!] is free verse or form if you can hack it where every word's first letter is the next letter of the alphabet. Here's an example: [link]
Although, I've always wanted to expand upon the concept - maybe recreate it as a genre, like Blake and Burns did with the lyric during the Restoration?
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this. I'm not necessarily sure I can say I'm glad to have caused you to "feel as if my feelings were more emotional, as if impossible to express," because while that IS the motive here, I know it's unpleasant. I guess I can say I'm glad of the success.
