i didn't get the point of the poem, really, except for the end. then again i'm multitasking the the maximum.... but i loved all your references to color, which relate so well to nature, hiking, etc. it all ties in. all in all - beautiful imagery. and the ending...wow. great. it made you think =]
my favorite reference to color:
glistening flame-tangerine shriek
you know what i realize? you must HATE critiques. you NEVER get anything useful from us.
