Beauty's Bounty

White, the purity of fresh-fallen snow Pink, the shine of a unicorn's glow Yellow, soft dazzling rays of summer sunshine Orange, marigold tea blended with wine Red, lipstick's lure; sensuous kisses Purple, insignia of princes and princesses Bright colors all, beauty's bounty of roses Fill crystalline vases, in gay fetching poses

Yeah, it's a taste treat,... I think. (At least it tastes good in my mind. LOL.). Thanks for the nice comment, Kim! :) gw

How about Rainbow Brite's Horse, Starlite? I know that Starlite was often depicted as white, with a rainbow-colored mane. But wasn't Starlite pink sometimes too?! Then again, Starlite was no unicorn, eh? Silly me!! Thanks for viewing and for the feedback, WK! ~ gw

Oh, thank you so much, Laura. Coming from one who writes such pristine, such clean verse, this is a compliment that I truly treasure. Greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Gershon
