Blue, Purple and Marmalade

A powder-blue sky turns prismatic
     the sun glows marigold
chromatic colors, captivate, so charismatic
     below the horizon an indigo sea glitters boldly

Looming clouds melt into marmalade
     with overtones of a lavender hue
cerulean waves crash against sand the color of suede
     as the setting sun slowly turns the sea sangria instead of blue

Streaks of tangerine reach down to touch the sea
     iredescent lights bend and colors meld
giving way to a violet sky tinted with orange cream
     the sun disappears turning periwinkle waves into midnight-blue swells
as night falls the colors fade
    blue, purple and marmalade

A veritable palette of colors! And nice progression to the finale, blue inti violet, into purple and orange cream into marmalade. Elizabeth
