Red is lonely, bereft in aqua isolation Missing that misty half, that sapphire soul- Cool balance of crystal breeze to luscious lava The teal serenity of marine ocean, the bliss of indigo twilight... So Red asks the azure sky for answers- And finds them in cerulean lakes, in periwinkle dawns, The turquoise trees of spring, the cobalt cornflowers, In royal wishing stars shining through the navy night- Until hurting orange and bruised maroon grow wings of lavender.

I love the mélange of colors blended to celebrate lavender. This poem is a real gem Michelle. It is going into my faves. Your winning excerpt in Greg's contest led me to read this in its original form. Congratulations on your win! : ) xxoo

This was beautifully written, and says so much about what color "feels like" to us. I always think in terms of color. Kudos to you!
