The Inkwell#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.

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

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
