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

pulped and rolled out wood chip
a marvellous media to receive the
pens contents
even if the colour is
red , blue, yellow or green

Everyone our way knows it as an aubergine
grilled and served up with
grated cheese and tomato
purple tinge to its black skin – never known once grilled
leaping to life in any greek dish
and lipsmackingly wonderful on a summers day
note though – best served with oil and herbs
tastes wonderful with a drop of house red
Cherry red they call it – taken from the french
except there are times you can’t call it
red – not in the traditional sense
its more pink than that
shade stronger than your average strawberry (even in ice cream)
each shade seems different, but so then are cherries on the tree
#Photography #Colour
The Orb rested on its spot
as in a moment, the image came into view
Images forming – like magic
colours red , green, yellow and blue
captured in a moment
by the little glass ball
In response to Thursday Photo Prompt
The woodland’s changing colour
from lush juicy greens to rustic reds
and painting a picture with a message
on the woodland paths
with each colourful crunch – “Winter’s coming”
When you entered the room
Instantly, you turned the boys heads
Like Desdemona had arrived
Dynamic
Heaven’s angel mixed with Hell’s fury
Only time would decide what happened next
Meeting up with old friends
By the banks of the waterside
Reality – you would be back at your post come morning
Expectations – out of the window.

I remember those streets,
the houses and walls
constructed from something
from down in the ground
Fired earth formed into an oblong
and fashioned into spaces
places, to cook, wash, read, and rest
for those living there – the best
And they were Not all uniform –
not all the same shade
some hidden round airbricks
the ones that just made grade
But from down the road
Their colours stood proud
as this orange / brick red
sang through northern streets loud

It’s a funny old game is Football
You walk for miles down roads and up stairs
to get to those golden ticketed chairs –
then as players take to the field
you wait for the referee to yield –
the man in the middle – you await his call
and for stars on the pitch to start kicking the ball.
Then as it does,
and ball travels back
a flag or a whistle stops the attack
and you lament the official – in yellow blue or black
But in his defence – he follows the rules
and his fellows know their stuff – they’re no fools
So when whistle is signalled and games underway
They’re there to ensure there’s a bit of fair play.
And when defender tackles striker,
and he goes in far too hard.
The Man in the middle gives warning
with a bright yellow coloured card.
And player knows better, to look out instead
as the last thing he wants to see is red!
And when the match is over,
He whistles out to all…
“The match time is now finished –
That’s the last kick of the ball!”

Take your pick…colours of the rainbow await
Red, Green, Yellow, Gold and Blue (if you can get it)
no need for CD-R pens, the computer has done the marking for you
and its much neater than a scribble
so instead of you flipping the CD for a title
you know from the pic you took – its on the Disc!
