Colourfication

Your lilac book I will read In your sapphire eyes Your flowers are vermillion indeed In happy tangerine they rise From a bright silver seed I have brought you tulip saffron For your seashell cup And my eyes to look upon The silky time to love No rest till the fuchsia love is done Come, let’s talk unconditionally And play with our pearls Away from the deep jet of sound and fury In your eloquent olive curls For a starlight story _______________________________________ March 12, 2016 United Colours: Colourification – Poetry Contest The ten shades are: 5 in the first stanza – Lilac, Sapphire, Vermillion, Tangerine, Silver 3 in the second – Saffron, Seashell, Fuchsia 2 in the third - Jet and olive

Finding a starlight story in the olive curls of your love .... I really liked this part. Also I'm surprised by the shortness of this one (others I've read in this contest get pretty lengthy). Nonetheless a playful piece.

Thank you. I am unable to persuade my mind to like long poems. Actually I am impatient. Also, a playful piece was nowhere in my view. But then, as I've said earlier as well, poems send different nuance to different readers. ...

Thank you for your appreciation. Modern poetry is mostly imagery. That you enjoyed it is itself an honour for me even before any placement, if any at all.
