Colorful
The freedom of the cerulean skies
I'm lost and found, I'm all vapid sighs...
Perhaps I'll colour a bit more of the scene
The sun, slightly better, it's a beautiful citrine
What could I do with tangerine?
Nope, I got reflection on a baked bean
Cobalt night... that night arrived too soon
I'll explore a bit longer, I do love maroon
I come across Van Gogh's sunflowers, I am sold!
Over excited perhaps, if I describe them as marigold
Each blade of grass, chartreuse, sage, lime
My palette is getting ridiculously... sublime
I'll go off on a tangent, fix the lime I made sub
Give it a pep talk, a swift amber half in the pub
I've stayed too long, bought an obsidian Guinness or two
With a lime for company, you might too
Get back on track, perhaps walk home
I catch my reflection distorted in chrome
The slate of the gravel confuses the brain
But I still marvel at all this colourful terrain
The deep asphaltic asphalt that tarmac will bring
Even absence of colour can be a beautiful thing
Pillar box red, there's a challenge right there
It's a crimson receptical, a post man's lair
McDonald's golden arches, let's liven them up too
Gleaming aureate mmm's should do
Did I write a poem, where's my lime?
I think I'm losing track of a silver sliver of time
Luckily the pearlescent moon has appeared, not by chance
Lulling me gently with drifting opalescence
Did I miss any good ones, let me glance through my chart
Good old cerulean, what a buddy, there right at the start
Well my opening line needs a decent close
I'll weave alabaster in, curtain down on colour when it snows
