Violet Garden

Violet softness blushes the cheeks of the gently swaying purple vinca, and murmurs sweetly of Violet cloud filled breezes caressing their green leaves, like Violet lips that whisper the bitter longing flavor of deep blue love songs when snow arrives. Violet ice tinged coleus shiver beneath the white covering of blinding cold as Violet perfumed roses reserve their fragrant blooms under the silvery veil of winter. (purple, murmurs, caressing, green, flavor, blue, white, blinding, fragrant, silvery)
I walk through the garden in early Spring. The purple, fragrant earth murmurs with each step of my blue and white shoes caressing their moistened soles. Green leaves and silvery sun flavor the scene in blinding light, that paints the blossoms mauve.

Tammy, thank you for hosting it. A very challenging write. I had to tweak the Etheree several times after I posted it to get it where I wanted it. Thank you again.

Charlotte, hi! I agree, lovely poem you wrote, sorry I haven't had a chance to leave a comment on it. I actually thought I had until I reread it tonight. Got to catch up on the Andaree contest. I agree the second one wasn't as good so I've done a minor re-write on it. Thank you sooo much for the incredibly flattering comment!!

wow James we sure have been set a challenge and I have no idea where to start - a fabulous take on the colour theme - good luck:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi, Jan. As always thanks for the nice comment. Haven't replied to comments on this one earlier because I thought the second poem was weak. I have tweaked it slightly and hopefully it reads better now.
