The Inkwell#CYW #Periwinkle
Dancing around in the lightest of breezes
bringing a spot of colour to parks and gardens
before the frost comes in
the ground you sit in determines your colour
sometimes you’re pink, sometimes you’re purple
but most of the time you’re as blue as the sky above you
and you shore up your fellow flowers
the daffodils and tulips keeping them standing tall
while the breeze of the wind goes through the park
#Writeclub #Popcorn
Confusion reigned among the staff
in the garden centre
Curiously, the conkers they were growing
for selling in pots in the greenhouse
had grown, no sprouted….no rocketed
into something a little more colourful
a little more knobbly and a little more exotic
a lot more tropical and a little less green
i mean – leaves the colours of mixed fruit drops ?
and poking through the glass towards the sky
you couldn’t call them unseen – definately unmuted
as the kids visited every blossom time
picking off popcorn from the branches and petals
#CYW #Melon
Maybe its me – but I always
expected the colour of a melon would be darker than the one
like you find in your box of crayons – its innards more red than pink
of course, buy a honeydew it’s as yellow as the sun
nice sliced up – they’re sweet regardless of which one you choose
#CYW #Maroon
Salford, 9th June 2020
Some say it’s the colour of conkers
after they’ve fallen out of shell
Some say it’s the colour of leather
it’s difficult to tell….
For while its not brown, its most definately not red
its more colour of the cows in the field that are fed
or their hides on the soles of the shoes in the street
covering ladies or gentlemen’s feet
Or perhaps the jacket, that strolls in to town
some shades of this colour – don’t suit a ball gown
the answer you see – to this definite riddle
the maroon colour – is somewhere in the middle

#Colours #WWP #Prompt #Kaleidoscope #Patterns
Cascade of Colour
Created from Mirrors and Plastic
Contained in a Metal Tube
Turn the tube and watch
as patterns appear like magic
The spot on the rainbow where red meets blue
you could call it “purple” – but it’s lighter than that
some would say its got a much vibrant tone
the girls love it – it’s got more to it than your average “pink”
so clothes , cars and anything else with this colour
sticks out for miles.
#Napowrimo #Photo #Cup #Coffee #tea
What’s that coming out of my cup of chai ?
colorful things rise and fly
up and down and round about
following the trail of the steam spout
far into the air they fly and rise
like colourful luminous butterflies
captured by the camera’s eye
before out of the kitchen they do fly

#cyw #indigo
It’s a colour known for its position on the rainbow
nestled between its brother , blue and its sister, violet
definately making a statement on the home furnishings front
in fabrics, curtains, sofas and carpets
garments too – brought to life by this deep dark purply blue
only – don’t call it blue – its got its own character
#CYW #HotMagenta
Its not what you’d call a subtle colour
and it couldn’t be called pink or purple
a fiery marriage where red meets blue
but mother nature seems to like
using their off spring to bring a bit
of eye catching colour to the garden
look around you’ll see it every where else too
in signs, on walls and in windows
the future’s bright – the future’s …. Magenta

4th March 2020
The place where blue meets yellow
crafting colours seen in the most vibrant of gardens
lawns and evergreen trees line the garden path
being a canvas for other colours in front of the house
and yet you could paint the perfect picture
with the various shades of leaf, from tree or flower alike
