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

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

Call it the start of something brilliant
the moment you saw the beam of light
not blinding – but starting – something
and something you just had to get onto a page
lines shapes and scribbles in bright neon colors
cast onto watercolor paper like an old master
pastels sprays and coloured ink
combine to create something – unique
and the use of eggshell ? That’ll get them talking
#CYW #Gold
There’s nothing better than a summer sky
warm coloured tones of
corn or wheat growing in the farmers field
or maybe the thought
of sinking your toes into warm golden sands
before dipping them in the sea
breakfast dinner or tea – wonderous eggs
dipped with bread soldiers
for an afternoon feast

Two crowds sit on their
Respective rumps, cheering on the warriors
In their tribes colours Red or Blue
By the end of the first act
A tribe at one end of the ground is jubilant
Leaping in the air – whilst the other isn’t so happy
#fowc #subtle
It had to be said, the fashionistas in your crowd
didn’t like you in that shirt
the colour was too deep
for you – they said
But that never stopped you
for the next morning you returned
wearing something new
or so they said
Same shirt, Brighter pants
Subtle changes made them glance
As the girls all cheers your latest style
and the boys all hung round for a while
#fowc #brush
Built from an animals hair
Relaying the colours of the rainbow, from palette to canvas
Upward and downward movement, bringing objects into view , while
Sweeping movements give an element of speed
Held in the hand of the master, that’s quite a picture that’s brought to life
Elevated in its Coloured
Leaves brighter than your oaks , ashes or sycamore
Emitted Luminescence – it would probably light up in the dark
Creating a lovely neon effect
To some insects – its a dream plant – saying “come and eat me”
Reality – the glow tells them to stay away
In case the leaves make them ill – only the bravest
Caterpillar dares to have a chomp
They celebrated a new decade with a bit of a bang
in the air rose the golden streamers
new year arriving as they lit up the midnight sky
sensational colours illuminating the city
everyone watching as the clock sounded and they
lit up the sky as colourful as a Christmas tree
