Seasonal Color

SEASONAL COLOR: Silent Mums O saffron sun of summer, come melt my anxiety, sneak the sparkle back into my hazel eyes. Slowly, sans sandals, I breathe essential lavender. My soul bathes in its field. My nose sends signals to my brain, calming sensations, a cerulean breeze. Outside its perimeter, i gratefully slide onto the grass and peel a sweet, juicy tangerine, feeling its rind slide from the fresh fruit. After refreshing my palate, I rise and stroll past aromatic lemon plants. A double-dose of vitamin c. I remain stress-free in my coral cotton dress. I cut a dozen chartreuse chrysanthemums to place in a tall blue vase. A lilac fence painted recently, by my shaking hand, welcomes me home. My love, back from war, offers me a juicy watermelon slice. We smile, across the table, the mums silent, and raise our champagne glasses, praying for peace. 8/3/2017 Contest: Seasonal Color Words list: Cerulean, chartreuse, coral, lavender, lemon, lilac, saffron, tangerine,watermelon, summer
