Colourful Poems

the Colourful picture

shadows draw across the canvas
with light oily strokes and dry wet soul 
the white pythons and black mambas
conspire as their tongues slither and roll 

down the canvas. 
like honey, it marinates the mellow white 
bruising it with time… yet as the honey lathers
and the white bathes, the paint stops with all its might

leaving behind the

SUNSET


As the sun goes down, 
And the skies turn grey, 
The sunset fades, 
So slowly away. 
The orange and yellow, so beautifully glow, 
A wonderful, colourful display, 
Such a beautiful show!!
The days go so quickly, 
And the night draws near, 
Today is nearly done.
Put aside your troubles and fears.
Rest your weary head, 
Remember the things

Premium MemberColourful Wooden Tulips

I want to give my only yellow mini tulip away
To the daughter of my beloved late cousin,
So the memory of her will never slip away
From our minds and hearts deep within.

I recently gave a symbol of love, a red tulip away
To my newfound lover who I knew would win
My heart in how he engages with

COLOURFUL LAMENT

 
I combed cool waters of your baby blue 
crystalline Jewel as you waded waterfall 
waves washing my stellar rainbow rays 
arching it melted into the warm womb 
of transducing tangoing Earth

Her Violet Flame devoured us both
as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire
our soma swirling into ecstatic orange 
oxytocined crane flowers whispering 
wisdoms to a

Walking on colourful leaves,
      fall brings back long sleeves.
    The lazy sun goes to bed early,
     while the morning fresh wind 
     caresses the wet grass softly.

Colourful

So beautiful,  golden colourful royal mansions,  
royal members wearing mix gold and diamond rings, 
earrings , bangles, watches, chains and crowns...
It is royal  poetry,  royalty , privacy policy in palaces.

As the prophet was closing eyes, he saw a bavira senior 
prince in colourful gold garment with golden spear 
and there was a golden crown on

“Mind-body prism refracts soul’s soft white light ~
Each unique hue heightens our heart’s delight”
            ~ quote by poet 


Beauteous are rainbow colours seven,
one end is violet, the other red,
mirrored in form, with promise of heaven,
provided we are, by throb of bliss led.

Red is the

Cafe Beignet on eve of Mardi Gras
Fat Tuesday is consuming everyone
New Orleans is magnet, nothing will mar
Their patience rewarded fun has begun.

Astounding parade enjoyed far and wide
Bourbon Street echoes with laughter unfeigned
Colourful costumes flowing like rip-tide
River of creation so unrestrained.

Marvellous memories of the parade
When all were united in sense of fun
Twirling umbrellas so jauntily swayed
Spectacle

We Are Colourful

We are colourful 
By Michelle Morris
31/07/2023

We are black and white 
We are shades of grey
We are colourful
We are bright and gay

Anything is possible
Magic and miracles
Let's embrace our courage
Let's embrace our divinity

For we are all united
We can achieve better humanhood 
The best wishes for our planet
If we work together for good

We are blue and green
We are

Colourful Chinese Lanterns

Colourful Chinese lanterns 
By Michelle Morris

The colourful Chinese lanterns
Hang joy and happiness across the room
Bringing forth positive energy
And blessings to everyone 

We are all like those lanterns
We are connected by our souls
Strings of energy and feelings
That the Universe always knows

When we feel alone and afraid 
May we be reminded that we're loved
That we're never truly

Premium MemberIn the Grass

Jumping around, playful,
full of joy, behind a butterfly
she runs having fun.

In the grass she hides,
she lies down with a wide smile, 
enjoying a spring day.

Breathing the fresh air,
smelling the beautiful flowers,
she keeps lying down on the grass.

A hot and sunny day,
invites her to refresh her body
in the fresh grass.

The high and green grass,
that grows in

Colourful Cities

Colourful cities
By Michelle Morris
17/03/2023

We've created these depressing cities
Shades of grey creating shadows
Tall buildings blocking out the sunlight
Few trees or flowers to brighten up the landscape 

A lack of rainbow colours 
Colours bold and beautiful
Colours bright and inspiring
Important for hope and healing

Imagine how much better
Everyone would feel each day
If we moved through cities of colour
With gardens

Colourful

Colourful are the days spring brings, 
 Butterflies spread their colourful wings,
Birds happily sing,
Newness takes flight.

Colours are on display,
Naked and frail boughs bloom,
Hope, joy and beauty pervade every room,
They in turn replay.

There's an awakening,
There’s a soul-lifting brightening,
Gloom rescinds,
Light succeeds.

Flowers showcase their loveliness,
We are captivated by their tenderness,
Colourful are spring days,
A harbinger of new ways.

The beauteous rainbow, which we admire
mirrors chakras seven in body-mind
and if for this truth, our heart does aspire,
we must first get rid off thought forms that bind.

From root red, sacral orange, then yellow,
illumines the navel and heart is green,
radiating love and bliss beats mellow,
whilst blue is the hue that adorns throat’s sheen.

Third eye radiates colour
