    Turquoise has a bluish green
    That makes a gem seem true.
    I don't know though what such things mean.
    They just look good on you.

    Melancholy clouds
    in a gun-metal sky
    hang heavy and colorless
    only a shade darker than white,
    starkly it enfolds the world
    and obscures the eye,
    cold and impersonal yet
    full of cloaking privacy,
    silently oppressive.


    Onyx

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    onyx
    a true beauty of inks
    the colours are mystique
    they radiate in rings
    and culminate in flints
    superbly sphinxed they bling

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Let's Just Call It 'Coral'

    "That dress she wore was pink and long."
    "It's orange." "No way." "Yes, way. You're wrong."
    And so they argued through the night.
    By day, they saw they both were right.

    blue
    the finest of hue
    how shall you true
    beautyful you?
    I shall see few
    through motions
    dew
    blue be the sky
    the music
    smile
    this symbol
    class
    the bestest fast

    CHESTNUT

    Simply Hair

    Simply Hair

    Chestnut:
    a shade
    o'brown hint
    of red
    when natural
    and all;
    but simply
    awful when
    poured from
    the bottle
    Perhaps a
    bit more
    red; an
    auburn chignon ?
    No matter

    Next colour - lilac

    Lilacs

    The farm house had some lilac shrubs
    That filled the spring with blooms and scent,
    But someone thought they needed room
    For soybeans, wheat and corn so sent
    The house and gardens to the past
    Yet memories for some still last.

    pink is blink
    it shines in rings
    and weighs in bling
    beautiful pink
    be mine
    don't shrink
    and I shall wink
    your style
    in sync

    BEIGE

    A Page of Beige

    A page of beige
    stares hungrily
    at me; a nihilist
    ready to devour
    that with which
    I deign to toil at
    by the hour

    Crimson

    Santa down the chimney goes
    With crimson colored Christmas clothes.
    A candy cane twirls white and red.
    The children are asleep in bed.

    AMETHYST


    A sparkling crystal; colour
    Mine eyes' cones afire
    Energy evoking -
    Thought provoking
    Hypnotic to the houri
    Yea, grander than its
    Semi-precious bearing; a
    Translucent power

    taupe
    __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________
    there's more to
    taupe
    then meet the sort
    stir it in blue
    mix it with roux
    shake it with pink
    and see it string
    a colour fling

    next: rose

    rose are red
    every inch of the garden bed
    also petals of pink
    given with a wink
    on valentine's love
    sweat n soft on bow
    poking on its stem
    a story to hem

    next: lavender
    Remember – like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in the right circumstances.
