A Wave of Fantasy In Colour

the soft yellow streaked the terra cotta,
shadowing the speckled sallow saffron 
a bluish buff upon the cochineal;
brilliant boneblack
grizzled the engrain
citrine carnation

the fallow flaxen,rustic rubrical
rainbow-tinted 
the magenta mandarine;
the ultra-marine, tinged burnt sienna,
reflecting a golden flame of raw umbery upon
the earth green;
bright mosaic gold
mottled the sallow sorrel
virent yellow,oak stained
the pale apricot;

blood red,reddish russet
dotted the olive lind;
freckled crimson,
a chestnut maroon,
on fuchsias faded apple green
burnt umber sank deep
into sanguine slumber.
