From the Visual Prompt at http://readwritepoem.org/

Once again the folks at ReadWritePoem come through with great inspiration.

I see logic and beauty
merged in a way
that makes me want
to merge, too

I see language I do not
know yet I know it, somehow
which makes me wonder if
it somehow knows that

When I was a little girl
I was told red and pink clash
Never ever and I mean ever
wear red and pink together

So my first thought
is WRONG when I see red
and pink together and
isn't it ironic to note

when I first strung words
together I wrote "red and blue"
even though "red and pink"
were what was

Right here, in front of me
Screaming in their matched
mismatching much like I scream
in my own mismatching

I see logic and beauty
merged in a way
that makes me want
to merge, too

Wonderfully done...

What an unusual take on my image !! I like this very much - I know exactly what you mean by "I see language I do not know yet I know it", and the repeated first/last stanza is particularly pleasing. Thank you so much for sharing this.
