Lavender Blue

I'm a woman of many colors. My color changes to match my mood. Wavering between tranquility and chaos, There's a million different shades and hues. My mind is never filled with just one. But if I were to choose just one today, It would be in some shade of blue. Lavender blue comes to mind right off- Blue fields of flowers, lavender and peace, Sunshine, new beginnings, and a breath of fresh air, Lavender blue diddle, diddle- But tomorrow my mood might be Red hot peppers, or white zombie, Or even jan duke de grey. For Frank H. Contest, 'Color'

As an artist, there's millions of shades and hues of color. It's hard to decide on just one. Thanks for stopping by Joyce. Warm Smiles, Connie

Connie, you are just like me!! I too adore lavender. it's my favorite color of all (even though I wrote of violet since violet is the shade under which lavender falls) I love this one.
