Purple

Purple is the sky that sets in the west
Purple is the Lavender that smells the best
Purple is the color when red marries blue
Purple is periwinkle, mulberry, violet and indigo too

Purple is a movie starring Oprah Winfrey
Purple is made from a shell in the Mediterranean sea
Purple is as mighty as the ancient Roman power
Purple is as simple as a lovely little flower

G'day Timothy … aside from you entertaining purple poem, I recall seeing near Adelaide an entire hillside covered in Paterson's curse flowers beside a field of golden canola flowers. It was spectacular - Lindsay

I can imagine. God knows what he is doing. Purple is opposite gold on the color wheel that means they are complimenting colors
