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
Salford, Saturday 28th March 2020
For one saturday only – a reblog…..I would have taken the Nikon out to see if i could spot the odd one of these mooching round the city parks flowers but with the global bug lockdown….i’m sharing this one from last year.

In time – you’ll become a wonderful thing
Noted for the wonderful patterns on your wing
Caterpillar family – small you may be
Hoping to sleep in the best of the tree
When you are little – you cannot be seen
Out eating the leaves of the trees whilst you’re green
Remaining on trees till you start to take flight
Making small kids smile from morning through night

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

Grown by mother nature
Rampant forests in shades light and dark
Exciting combinations of Yellow and Blue
Envelope the land through the trees
Nice at any time – but particularly christmas
There’s something about your shade
you could be a fresh lemon, or a zesty lime on the canvas
the artist just can’t decide,
for the fruit in the bowl can be your colour while it ripens up
turning yellow or green when its ready for eating

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

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
#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
#Cyw #Fuzzywuzzybrown
Sat by his cave , somewhere in the zoo
a relative of your old pal – winnie the pooh
climbing his branches , carefully placed
and giving his luncheon a bit of a taste
looks out at the crowd like it’s a TV
and then he goes off – in search of honey
#CYW #ForestGreen
For years you’ve seen this glorious colour
out in the wilds beyond your door
rolling hills and valleys
encapsulated in it by
swathes of green grass and
trees as far as the view will take it
Grown from a simple cutting
reaching up high to the nearest cloud
everyone enjoys walking among them
each looking about to see which animal enjoys the
nuts and berries grown from the branches
