Poem
"Colorful language is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience". Dale Carnegie ______________________________________________________________ O, colors, enthrall us through their splendor Infuse the mundane world with vivid shades Dazzle with hues and send a melody so tender, No harp plays a role in tunes or serenades. Lush velvet stains lips and hands with blackberry Ripe grapes drenched in bright, blithesome lands A colorful kaleidoscope lies in a flower vase—airy, A sparkle that imbues the shadows and expands. Olive and amber—ripening akin to wheat, Grating upon nerves, a symphony so sweet I love color, from flaming reds to vivid greens. Royals flaunt purple, a sight that sheens. Flaming reds and vivid greens—I adore Royal flaunting purples, I simply can't ignore. If I were the color blue, I would sing a halcyon song. Leave you frantic—recalling your youth for days long. I hold my breath as sapphire skies spread. Vast quietude, serene—filling my head Rainbows, prisms—tinsel glitter galore, A wheat harvest of yellow—a sight to adore Ripples and runs—floats and flies, Subtle shades and sheen, colors that mesmerize. Crimson and azure—glowing with grace, The purity of white is a vague oasis to embrace. A streak of gray brought heaven to earth Crackled turquoise, vivid glow of calm sea worth, As a slow hawk stoops—prey in the deep, The sunflower droops; a lazy wave creeps. The wind sleeps—swirling in dazzling links, And loops, creating a symphony that never sinks The crickets chime their pauseless rhyme, And the colors run—toward the sun climb. Before the wind feet, in the wheat, they stun. The green of elms—a sage discourse troll, Hemlock green, oaks, and juniper trees spun, A color symphony, one actor—this world scrolls, A never-ending show of beauty and poetry. Crafting a lasting metaphor of beat and symmetry A magnificent show of shadows and brightness. O, hues, how you seduce my air with lightness.
