#CYW #Grey
Gone is the colour from the photograph
Reds , blues and greens
Escaped from the page, and
Yet – the shades of black and white, make the image more definitive

#Octpowrimo #Black #Cyw #Grey #Greyscale
A rainbow of colour bled dry
leaving more than fifty shades of grey
Night and day coming together
replacing colour with something a bit more definite

#coloryourworld #cyw #black
Born out of light and Fire , the first colour
Left on a wall to make its mark
A simple drawing in a cave – not on paper, that would come later
crafting a tale – telling the news
Keeping the locals informed – news of the hunt
#Fowc #Bargain
If it’s what you’re after
its the deal of the day
you’re keeping half the price
in your little pink purse
for getting to wear all
of that little black dress
Salford, 4th February 2018
Singing it’s calls in the middle of the night
A black cat appears with four paws white
Out of the cover he pops up his head
Skipping into garden, waiting to be fed
Wailing kept silent, for his owner still sleeps
So round garden with mouse, he gently creeps
Colour of night
Dark, but cool at the same time
Where would all the sun loving dudes be
Without their darkened shades
Without it
Words would be sad
With only blue to communicate
Red is angry, green so envious
Lines are clear
The pages succinct
And penguins and zebras
Can be drawn, in relief
The Final Hurdle – and I’m pleased to report – I passed it!
Here’s a list of the colour poems for month 4 of the Colouryourworld Challenge.
Hope you enjoy reading the poems as much as I did writing them
Inky.

#coloryourworld #cyw #black #space
During the night
as the earth turns
the sky turns black
distant stars
appear as mere pin-pricks
in a velvet sky
whilst the other half is at work and play
the half cast in midnight
sleeps soundly away
#coloryourworld #cyw #eggplant
Everybody cooking knows about the eggplant –
great addition to a stew – and staple of Mediterranean cooking
good baked in the oven , stewed or even in a soup
purple in colour – though some mistake it for black
liked by vegetarians for its meaty texture
a fruit of its plant, though its referred as a vegetable
nice to eat in a salad with a dressing
together with feta, olive oil, olives and tomatoes – a wonderful supper dish
#Coloryourworld #cyw #Shadow
He’s there by day (and sometimes at night),
Follows round me like a puppy – but doesn’t bite.
On Night streets, he’s home before I reach gate,
arrives in the morning, he’s never late.
Follows round me like a puppy – but doesn’t bite.
On Night streets, he’s home before I reach gate,
arrives in the morning, he’s never late.
I see him on Curtains, on walls and on doors
in front of me on lawns and pavements and floors
He bends around hallways, and up and down stairs
and sometimes, he catches people unawares…

He bends around hallways, and up and down stairs
and sometimes, he catches people unawares…
See, depending on time of day, and the sun,
my shadow and I can have some great fun.
As the sun rises up, he grows from my feet…
and you can see him quite clearly – right down th’ street.

But, the thing is, and here’s where I’ll give thee some news
My shadow isn’t really attached to my shoes.
So, at Night time – he disappears – when I’m resting my head
and reappears quickly when I get out of bed!
