Premium MemberPastel Ribbons

Pastel ribbons of an evening sky
Another day has come to an end
A palette so beautiful it can make you cry 
We can’t wait to do it again

Some were born, some fell in love and others have walked on
Laughter and tears make a full day 
and fill our dreams between sunset and the dawn

Pastel ribbons of

Premium MemberOde to Pretty Pastel Lion

Oh, pretty pastel lion with your puffy cheeks
Beauty is in your colors, your eyes green as creeks.
A mere description is not enough to show your worth.
I hear you have admirers from Kenya to Perth.

I wonder about your heritage your fur is so true.
With a gorgeousness about it in both pink and blue.
Oh pretty pastel lion,

Premium MemberPastel Shades of Morning

Pastel shades of morning,
glow as dark wanes to light.
Colors brushed in the skies
in peach and lilac tones
as dawn begins to rise.

Pastel shades of morning,
are emboldened by noon.
Inflamed as if on fire,
shining ever brighter
as sunbeams fly higher.

Pastel shades of morning,
darken throughout the day.
Amber honey hue wends,
deepens as hours go by
before the sun descends.

Pastel shades of morning,
suddenly

Pale pastel blue nails
As blue as translucent sea,
Waves pale as white sails,
Complimentary to toes
Matching my summer beach clothes.

Premium MemberReassuring My Pastel Llama

pastel llama you think you are all that
you put on airs in front of the dog and the cat
you feel superior; you are fluffy and phat
we are not fooled by you said my brother Matt.

Ignore him please, I told my beautiful Llama.
When she returned from store, I would tell my mama.
Matt is always being mean,

Waterc0lor Dreams In My Pastel Life

A blank canvass, empty of thought
nothing to give my life a full display of clarity
to guide my bated stultified excitement
I hold my life in full confinement

Birds in the sky you can see the world clearly
tell me can you see my life from on high
you who have a clearer view of the world’s expanse
Can you give

Premium MemberPastel Purple

It’s 6:15pm. Peter, Anna, Sophy and I are studying in the common room of our suite.

“We need to get serious,” Peter whispered, but there was no subject in the declaration, so I was left confused and uncommitted, “about getting serious,” he clarified.

“I’m not sure I can get serious about a guy who doesn’t separate whites

Premium MemberPastel Colors Stay

A flash, the first strike; 
I want to be where you are,
nothing more or less; 
Feeling all of your impact 
I’m not ready to let go;

Memories can’t last 
like this dramatic image;  
Instantaneous; 
Streak sparkling in the darkness 
an indented frozen line; 

Take a slow step back 
undisciplined rotation!
Pastel colors stay;
Oh, I could get

Premium MemberPastel Sadness

I caught him staring at me
From the corner of my eyes
I turned to a cloud’s mist
His eyes had a grey pastel sadness
A white fog had drifted downwards
And covered his weather beaten face
A light vapour seemed to seep
Through his portrait, a sadness
That even Atlas could not lift 
His misery seeped out and
Took hold of me, I

Premium MemberThe Pastel Portrait

An old man looks deeply into my soul
His piercing blue eyes disquietingly seek
What is written there on my life scroll,
An accomplished man of purpose, meek.
A fine pastel she has lovingly sketched
Another time, another place he and I,
Likely over a beer, would’ve kvetched
On many topics, oft seeing eye to eye.
I would’ve respected his keen insight
He has

Pastel Sunrise

Dawn painted morning's horizon with a blush.
Beauty I see when I wake gives me such a rush.
Shades of cornsilk yellow, lavender and peach,
but far too distant to ever be within my reach.

Premium MemberPastel Shades

As Japanese cherry blossoms bloom pink,
Spring dabbles in assorted pastel shades.
When April rains offer the soil a drink,
water trickles as it flows and cascades.

Spring dabbles in assorted pastel shades,
purple crocus, and yellow daffodils.
Water trickles as it flows and cascades,
and green grass colors the valleys and hills.

Purple crocus and yellow daffodils,
pushing through the soil, summoned by

Premium MemberPastel Rainbow Sky

Your eyes are like the sunrise,
Coloured with the palest greens and blues
Of a pastel rainbow sky.
Your eyes have always mesmerized me,
For they are coloured like shades of a sea,
So beautiful, they are, to me.
