My Choice

My Choice If I could be a colour And the choice was up to me I might choose blue like summer skies, or deep deep green of sea I may consider yellow Like a golden summer sun Or orange at its setting When the long hot day is done Perhaps I’d match a full blown rose In her gown of scarlet red Or blend in with the violets Asleep in the garden bed The colours in my paintbox After rain, they make a bow And now, the last but not the least, my choice, ‘soft Indigo.’ for Linda Marie's colour contest

wonderful, you named the color in the end!! I had one like this, multi colored, but I made up a brand new one just for LInda. haha. I really like yours, margaret and I liked all those colors you described. Thanks so much for reading Captured. I think you are the only one who read it after I mentioned it in my blog. Have you ever done a sonnet chapbook? I would love to see it if you ever do it. LUv,Andrea
