Seasonal Color-'Poetic Palettes'

A blank crisp canvas before the summer’s sky
As the rainbow of palettes begin to start their cry
With Aquamarine, a reflection of the ocean blue
Followed by Cerulean, the deepest of the two

Here comes Chartreuse, the friendly yellow green
And captivating Coral, the pinkish beauty Queen
Lovely Lavender who would love to steal the show
Accompanied by Saffron, her warm and lively beau

Now the sky displays an array of a soft yellow Lemon
Then blushes away with the color of sweet Watermelon
For Lilac barges in to spoil the lavender dazzling dream
Laughing at it all, the talented color of tender Tangerine.

Thus now the sky settles within a magical misty hue
Only to start the morrow in the poetic palettes pew.
