The InkwellThe 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.

Located in a part of the garden
a plant that’ll go rampant if you let it
very nice smell – its natural oil
each stem full of fragrance ready to be crushed
notably used in perfumes
deodorant ? not so much
everyone seems to like its colours though
ranging from blue to light purple

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
#CYW #Fuschia
Floating in the warmth of summer
under their pink ballerina dresses – purple petticoats
swaying in the gentle breeze
colour to brighten up anyone’s day
hard to miss – even though they try to be
incognito
a wonder for visiting birds and bees

Some say this flower
Has its own unique place in the flowerbed
As it’s not blue, or violet – and please
Do Not call it Purple – there’s far too much blue in
Each of its petals
Some call it Violet-blue, but gardeners know it as Blue-Violet
Born on a spikey berry bush
Purple / pink fruit bursting with flavour
bursting with juice – pressed to the touch
cooked down in a pan – to a tasty mush
turned into jelly – a taste to savour
spread over bread – or sometimes toast
kids enjoy the tastes so much
Breakfast time they enjoy them the most

You’ve been trying to climb that hill for a while now
facing off against its challenges
its crags, sharp sides and slippy hand holds
not to mention the wet slate underneath
dark purples your pals as you rose
overcoming every obstacle in your way
take in the rewards at the top
the view of the blue sky – its lovely.
Various colours come together
In union to
Bring a smile to peoples faces
Rainbows of bright
And brilliant shades come together
Note how the primaries of red, blue and yellow merge and
Transform into the secondaries of Orange, Green and Purple
