Colours In Our Lives

Green with envy or feeling blue These are emotions that can affect you Golden sunlight on a sandy beach This dream scene may be far out of our reach Crystal clear raindrops make us wetter and wetter Rose tinted spectacles make everything seem better Sultry brown eyes and ruby red lips Bluebells in the woods and hawthorn hips The colourful sight that really makes my day Is seeing a glorious rainbow over Douglas Bay 22nd April 2013 Submitted to colourful verse contest Sponsored by Charlotte Puddifoot
