  • I loved it too- very entertaining. :D Hey, let's all do a color/colour poem in that jazzy/crazy/beat style! Anybody up for it? Hmm, I wonder if Pink was done...

    PINK

    She petals around like her ship don't sink...PINK
    Somehow she got it mixed up - she mingled her red with her white, well that wasn't quite right..ya think?
    PINK
    All day long, singing her song- a pouty, plaintive poetess..in a bow, in a blouse or a dress....PINK
    Can I buy you a Drink?
    How bout some Kink?
    I know a place where it's half off..I was talking about the drink, PINK...it's a double trouble with a sidecar of desire..and if you're bad, they throw in the kitchen sink.
    Are you delirious PINK? You're blushing- I think the Rosé's gone to your head,
    You're making the Violets shrink-
    Heartbreaker, dream-maker...you thought I was gonna say "lovetaker" didn't you PINK. Well I was, so there. You and all your glamorous, glossy fairy floss- I'm on the brink ..PINK-
    Don't push it.

    :D

  • Im listening now. It's grreat!

    A poem, hmmm? Well, I daren't write myself. But Emily Dickinson does a mean jazzy/crazy/beat stylee. Here's Blue Jay:

    No brigadier throughout the year
    So civic as the jay.
    A neighbor and a warrior too,
    With shrill felicity

    Pursuing winds that censure us
    A February day,
    The brother of the universe
    Was never blown away.

    The snow and he are intimate;
    I 've often seen them play
    When heaven looked upon us all
    With such severity,

    I felt apology were due
    To an insulted sky,
    Whose pompous frown was nutriment
    To their temerity.

    The pillow of this daring head
    Is pungent evergreens;
    His larder — terse and militant —
    Unknown, refreshing things;

    His character a tonic,
    His future a dispute;
    Unfair an immortality
    That leaves this neighbor out.

     


  • Oh, :x . I really wish you'd write one yourself whisperit. There's so many neglected colours- Scarlet, Viridian, Umber, Indigo, Bronze...pick one whisper- this place needs livening up, for realsies-

  • VERMILLION

    It seemed like they were shimmering, like Vermillion
    Riding in the sun, reacting like they're one
    In front, one on pillion, like Vermillion
    Acting cool as cats, knowing where it's at
    Intelligent and sesquipedillion
    Upbeat and of the street
    Clothing sharp and haircuts neat
    Like they're worth a million
    Proud and strong; their days are long
    Tanned and bronzed
    Like Vermillion.

    The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.
    Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
    Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
    Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
  • That was strangely cathartic !

  • Excellent, UT!
  • White

    The paper before the word
    The blossom before the bee
    The cotton before the blood
    A winter sky before the fall

    Let it go
    Let it grow
    Let it flow
    Let it snow!
  • INDIGO

    Indigo, not Pink like Flamingoes
    Or Green, like the grass grows
    Or Umber, like Toads
    But like Dingos in Aboriginal Wolfs clothes
    With tail tips accented with bits of
    Indigo
    A psychedelic trip hop cool dog, not cat
    Who know where it's at
    Like those Vermillion brats
    Only cooler
    Antipodian sub zero heroes
    Like Cornwells Shakespeareo's
    Only they wear
    Indigo.

  • Love the turn this thread has taken! The Dickinson especially, but Pink, White and Vermillion, all quite nice!

    Here's my "F'd up " contribution to the crayon box:

    Orange...
    bright and burnt and bitter sweet...
    blood, of the sun at twilight,
    juicy navel, a delight to eat...
    washed out, but hopeful,
    all the passion of a dying star,
    doomsday dreamer...
    would you be seen, with the likes of me?

    You should have had me years ago, when I was perfect and didn't know.

    Orange is just the afterglow. Nothing less and nothing more.

  • Wow, M...really beautiful. I absolutely love your Orange. It's deep..deep Orange. It inspired me to write another- why not.


    Ruby

    The throat of the hummingbird, a stolen crown jewel
    For a delicate king...only seen for a second.

    Warm as blood, hot as an ember, cold as stone-
    I line my lips and fingertips...with you.

    The deepest part of Sun- that does not burn
    But only says 'Tomorrow' and sinks into the ocean.

    Seeds of pomegranate, some eaten..some thrown away
    The dream of the tree it desires to be.

    The slippers of a girl looking for home-
    A magic that protects her pure heart.

    The King, my lips, tomorrow, the tree-
    The Magic that protects
    A pure heart.
